Thanks for the update Sheila. I am using manual for Lustre 1.8 (May-09). <br><br>Arden, as per the 1.8 manual: <br>--- ---<br>Install the kernel, modules and ldiskfs packages.<br>Use the rpm -ivh command to install the kernel, module and ldiskfs<br>
packages. For example:<br>$ rpm -ivh kernel-lustre-smp-<ver> \<br>kernel-ib-<ver> \<br>lustre-modules-<ver> \<br>lustre-ldiskfs-<ver><br>c. Install the utilities/userspace packages.<br>Use the rpm -ivh command to install the utilities packages. For example:<br>
$ rpm -ivh lustre-<ver><br>d. Install the e2fsprogs package.<br>Use the rpm -i command to install the e2fsprogs package. For example:<br>$ rpm -i e2fsprogs-<ver><br>If you want to add any optional packages to your Lustre file system, install them<br>
now.<br>4. Verify that the boot loader (grub.conf or lilo.conf) has<br>--- --- <br>I followed the same order. <br><br><br>The lconf and lmc are not available on my system. I am not sure what are they and when will I need it. I continued to explore other things in lustre and have created MDS and OST mount points on the same system. I have installed lustre client on a separate machine and when I tried to mount lustre MGS on it, I received following error: <br>
<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>

I'm not clear on which kernel package you tried to install. There is pretty much a set order to install the packages from my understanding of the wording in the manual. From experience:<br>
<br>
rpm -ivh kernel-lustre-smp-2.6.18-92.1.17.el5_lustre.1.8.0.x86_64.rpm<br>
rpm -ivh lustre-1.8.0-2.6.18_92.1.17.el5_lustre.1.8.0smp.x86_64.rpm<br>
rpm -ivh lustre-ldiskfs-3.0.8-2.6.18_92.1.17.el5_lustre.1.8.0smp.x86_64.rpm<br>
rpm -ivh lustre-modules-1.8.0-2.6.18_92.1.17.el5_lustre.1.8.0smp.x86_64.rpm<br>
rpm -Uvh e2fsprogs-1.40.11.sun1-0redhat.rhel5.x86_64.rpm<br>
<br>
Hope that helps as that order has worked for me many times.<br>
