[lustre-discuss] Installing lustre 2.15.6 server on rhel-8.10 fails

[Carlos Adean]

Hello all,

My current version of RHEL 8 is Rocky Linux 8.10, running the kernel
4.18.0-553.27.1.el8_10. I also have the OFED drivers version 24.10-2.1.8.0
installed for the InfiniBand interface (I tried without OFED before).

The installation of "kmod-lustre-2.15.6-1.el8" and
"kmod-lustre-osd-ldiskfs-2.15.6-1" always shows these warning messages
below.

# dnf --nogpgcheck --enablerepo=lustre-server install kmod-lustre
kmod-lustre-osd-ldiskfs lustre-osd-ldiskfs-mount lustre

  lustre-resource-agents-2.15.6-1.el8.x86_64

Completed!


After rebooting, the server drops into an emergency shell because it can't
find the LVM devices. This issue only occurs with the Lustre kernel, other
installed kernels boot normally.


Any hints on how to proceed?
