Hi,<br><br>Is it possible to set up a lustre service on a single machine with multiple ethernet ports, multiple cpu cores and multiple disks?<br><br>The idea would be that the machine would either use L4 link aggregation or mulitple IP's and a modest number of clients (<10)<br>
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<br>performance possible for such a small collection of hosts. In my case, there would be 1 writer and multiple (asynchronous) readers.<br>
<br>The clients would be seperate machines. The MGS/MDS/OSS's would be "in" the same machine.<br><br>Has this been done or discussed before?<br><br>any comments welcome,<br>thanks,<br>Stuart<br><br>
