Ignore, After days of banging head against the wall and trying to use tunefs.lustre which appears to maybe suffer from the same bug. I found the alternative that specifying --mgsnode= more than once was valid. This mixed with the wonderful --print option to mkfs.lustre I think I have my work around.
mkfs.lustre --reformat --ost --fsname=nobackup --mgsnode=mds1 -- mgsnode=mds2 --mkfsoptions -j "-J device=/dev/md27" /dev/md17 Thanks, Though I am scared about behavior of tunefs.lustre if we ever needed to re-ip the nodes. Re-formating is not really an option.
