<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">I have no direct experience trying this, but I would imagine not - Lustre is a kernel module (actually a set of kernel modules), so unless the container tech you're using allows loading multiple different versions of
*kernel modules*, this is likely impossible. My limited understanding of container tech on Linux suggests that this would be impossible, containers allow userspace separation but there is only one kernel/set of modules/drivers.</p>

<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">I don't know of any way to run multiple client versions on the same node.</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">The other question is *why* do you want to run multiple client versions on one node...? Clients are usually interoperable across a pretty generous set of server versions.</p>

<div>Hi,<br>
</div>
Is it possible to run Lustre client in a container?<br>
</div>
The goal is to run two different client version on the same node, can it be done?<br>
