Thanks, Tim for a quick response. I should have mentioned the specific scenario - In this case, lustre client is co-located with an MDS lustre server and the rest of the nice on the host are specifically for MDTs.
I believe the lustre.conf approach wouldn’t work in that case, or there is still a way ?

For example, let’s say I have a host with this below LNet configuration, then is there a way that I can have the Lustre client to use only “10.30.201.26@tcp” for all its communication [node1]# lnetctl net show net: - net type: lo local NI(s): - nid: 0@lo status: up - net type: tcp local NI(s): - nid: 10.30.201.26@tcp status: up interfaces: 0: enp1s0 - nid: 10.30.201.10@tcp status: up interfaces: 0: enp1s0:10269 - nid: 10.30.202.241@tcp status: up interfaces: 0: enp1s0:10257 Best regards Sonia Confidential – Oracle Internal _______________________________________________ lustre-discuss mailing list [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> http://lists.lustre.org/listinfo.cgi/lustre-discuss-lustre.org<https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://lists.lustre.org/listinfo.cgi/lustre-discuss-lustre.org__;!!ACWV5N9M2RV99hQ!JK-5U3bPxJEQg0wm-92Mtqb9akrLlnZ1vY2azcQ5KmoD9Azb5QAtP0Vxm1xhag_lMu1sQU3Zs6lmaLEGcltmBmWysWgLsw$>
