Thanks for the update Sheila. I am using manual for Lustre 1.8 (May-09). Arden, as per the 1.8 manual: --- --- Install the kernel, modules and ldiskfs packages. Use the rpm -ivh command to install the kernel, module and ldiskfs packages. For example: $ rpm -ivh kernel-lustre-smp-<ver> \ kernel-ib-<ver> \ lustre-modules-<ver> \ lustre-ldiskfs-<ver> c. Install the utilities/userspace packages. Use the rpm -ivh command to install the utilities packages. For example: $ rpm -ivh lustre-<ver> d. Install the e2fsprogs package. Use the rpm -i command to install the e2fsprogs package. For example: $ rpm -i e2fsprogs-<ver> If you want to add any optional packages to your Lustre file system, install them now. 4. Verify that the boot loader (grub.conf or lilo.conf) has --- --- I followed the same order.
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: --- --- [r...@localhost ~]# mount -t lustre 10.0.0...@tcp0:/lustre /mnt/lustre mount.lustre: mount 10.0.0...@tcp0:/lustre at /mnt/lustre failed: No such device Are the lustre modules loaded? Check /etc/modprobe.conf and /proc/filesystems Note 'alias lustre llite' should be removed from modprobe.conf --- --- The modprobe on client says, 'module lustre not found'. Any clues?
