OK! Found the solution (came from a Luster user). So simple!...<br>
<br>
<br>

I think the possible solution to your problem lies in
differentiating the two different IB networks - by changing the
lustre lnet device names.<br>
This means that each separate cluster would have different
non-default "o2ib" naming convention in modprobe.conf.<br>
<br>
The IB3 lustre servers might call it:<br>
<p class="MsoPlainText"> options lnet
networks="o2ib3(bond0),tcp(eth0)"</p>
and the IB4 lustre servers might call it:<br>
<p class="MsoPlainText"> options lnet
networks="o2ib4(bond0),tcp(eth0)"</p>
---<br>
<br>
That solution works perfectly.<br>
<br>
Thanks to repliers!<br>
<br>
Season's Greetings all!<br>

Maybe our configuration is a bit special. We are running two
Infiniband partitions, one for storage and the other for TCP over
IB. Both clusters are named IB3 and IB4.<br>
<br>
I have 4 OSS on clustre IB3 which are configured like:<br>

<br>
I have two Infiniband clusters, each in a separate
location with a solid ethernet connectivity between each
of them. Say they are named cluster A and cluster B.
All members of each clusters have both IB and eth
networks available to them, and the IB network is not
routed between cluster A and B, but ethernet is. On
each clusters, I have 4 OSS's serving FC disks. Clients
on cluster A mounts Lustre disk from their local
cluster, and the same goes on for for cluster B, both on
Infiniband NIDs.<br>
<br>
What I would like to achieve is client from cluster A
to mount disks from OSS's on cluster B on the ethernet
connection. The same goes on for clients in cluster B
to mount disks from OSS's on cluster A.<br>
<br>
From my readings in the luster 1.8.7 manual, I got:<br>
<br>
7.1.1 Modprobe.conf<br>
Options under modprobe.conf are used to specify the
networks available to a node.<br>
You have the choice of two different options the
networks option, which explicitly<br>
lists the networks available and the ip2nets option,
which provides a list-matching<br>
lookup. Only one option can be used at any one time. The
order of LNET lines in<br>
modprobe.conf is important when configuring multi-homed
servers. <b>If a server<br>
node can be reached using more than one network, the
first network specified in<br>
modprobe.conf will be used.</b><br>
<br>
Is the last sentence means that I cannot do that?<br>
