[lustre-discuss] How to activate an OST on a client ?

[Haarst, Jan van]

Since the last e-mail, the issue popped up again. 
Is there anything we can do on our end, except rebooting clients ?

Subject: [lustre-discuss] How to activate an OST on a client ? 

Hi, 

Probably the wording of the subject doesn’t actually cover the issue, what we see is this : 
We have a client behind a router (linking tcp to Omnipath) that shows an inactive OST (all on 2.15.5). 
Other clients that go through the router do not have this issue. 

One client had the same issue, although it showed a different OST as inactive. 
After a reboot, all was well again on that machine. 

The clients can lctl ping the OSSs. 

So although we have a workaround (reboot the client), it would be nice to: 

1. Fix the issue without a reboot 
2. Fix the underlying issue. 

It might be unrelated, but we also see another routing issue every now and then: 
The router stops routing request toward a certain OSS, and this can be fixed by deleting the peer_nid of the OSS from the router. 

I am probably missing informative logs, but I’m more than happy to try to generate them, if somebody has a pointer to how. 

We are a bit stumped right now. 

With kind regards,
