[Lustre-discuss] compact lustre system advice needed

[Stuart Marshall]

Hi,

Is it possible to set up a lustre service on a single machine with multiple
ethernet ports, multiple cpu cores and multiple disks?

The idea would be that the machine would either use L4 link aggregation or
mulitple IP's and a modest number of clients (<10)
would access the file system.  The MDT and >=1 OST's would not share
physical disks.  The motivation for this is to get the best
performance possible for such a small collection of hosts.  In my case,
there would be 1 writer and multiple (asynchronous) readers.

The clients would be seperate machines. The MGS/MDS/OSS's would be "in" the
same machine.

Has this been done or discussed before?

any comments welcome,
thanks,
Stuart
