I was able to run lustre_rmmod and depmod successfully. The '$lctl list_nids' returned the server ip address and interface (tcp0). <br><br>I tried to mount the file
system on a remote client, but it failed with the following message. <br>
--- ---<br>
[root@localhost ~]# mount -t lustre 10.0.0.42@tcp0:/lustre /mnt/lustre<br>
mount.lustre: mount 10.0.0.42@tcp0:/lustre at /mnt/lustre failed: No such device<br>
Are the lustre modules loaded?<br>
Check /etc/modprobe.conf and /proc/filesystems<br>
Note 'alias lustre llite' should be removed from modprobe.conf<br>
--- --- <br>
<br>However, the mounting is successful on a single node configuration - with client on the same machine as MDS and OST. <br>Any clues? Where to look for logs and debug messages? <br><br>Thanks,<br>CS. <br><br><br><br><br>

Please read:<br>
<a href="http://manual.lustre.org/manual/LustreManual16_HTML/ConfiguringLustre.html#50401328_pgfId-1289529" target="_blank">http://manual.lustre.org/manual/LustreManual16_HTML/ConfiguringLustre.html#50401328_pgfId-1289529</a><br>

Those instructions are identical for 1.6 and 1.8.<br>
<br>
For current lustre, only two commands are used for configuration.<br>
mkfs.lustre and mount.<br>
<br>
<br>
Usually when lustre_rmmod returns that error, you run it a second time, and it will clear things. Unless you have live mounts or network connections.<br>

I am referring to 1.8 manual, but I was also referring to HowTo page on wiki which seems to be for 1.6. The HowTo page <a href="http://wiki.lustre.org/index.php/Lustre_Howto#Using_Supplied_Configuration_Tools" target="_blank">http://wiki.lustre.org/index.php/Lustre_Howto#Using_Supplied_Configuration_Tools</a> mentions abt lmc, lconf, and lctl.<br>
<br>
The modules are installed in the right place. The '$ lustre_rmmod' resulted in following o/p:<br>

Do I need to shutdown these services? How can I do that?<br>

I think lconf and lmc went away with Lustre 1.6. Are you sure you<br>
are looking at the 1.8 manual, and not directions for 1.4?<br>
<br>
/usr/sbin/lctl should be in the lustre-<version> RPM. Do a:<br>
# rpm -q -l lustre-1.8.0-2.6.18_92.1.17.el5_lustre.1.8.0smp<br>
<br>
<br>
Do make sure the modules are installed in the right place:<br>
# cd /lib/modules/`uname -r`<br>
# find . | grep lustre.ko<br>
<br>
If it shows up, then do:<br>
# lustre_rmmod<br>
# depmod<br>
and try again.<br>
<br>
Otherwise, figure out where your modules are installed:<br>
# uname -r<br>
# cd /lib/modules<br>
# find . | grep lustre.ko<br>
<br>
<br>
You can also double-check the NID. On the MSD server, do<br>
# lctl list_nids<br>
<br>
Should show 10.0.0.42@tcp0<br>
