<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">You will have to recompile lustre with the patch in LU-8397. The key for us was to look at the contents of /proc/fs/lustre/mgc/*/import. Before the patch, failover_nids from
that file was only showing one NID, despite mkfs.lustre/tunefs.lustre showing multiple service nodes configured. See the mailing list thread and the LU for more details.
