(Swapnil) The MDT on MDS1 is unable to communicate to the MGS on MDS0.
It keeps trying to communicate to 0@lo since that is the nearest peer. I
tried doing what you suggested - unmounting MGS from MDS0 and mounting
it on MDS1. In that case, targets get mounted on MDS1 but the targets on
MDS0 are unable to connect to MGS due to the same bug.

(Swapnil) If I understand this issue correctly, I think the fix for this
bug should be that the target code that connects to the MGS should try
to connect to both the mgsnodes that it is configured with.

MDT mount fails if mkfs.lustre is run with multiple mgsnode arguments on MDSs where MGS is not running
by Swapnil Pimpale
Hi All,
We are facing the following issue. There is a JIRA ticket opened for the
same (https://jira.hpdd.intel.com/browse/LU-3829)
The description from the bug is as follows:
If multiple --mgsnode arguments are provided to mkfs.lustre while
formatting an MDT, then the mount of this MDT fails on the MDS where the
MGS is not running.
Reproduction Steps:
Step 1) On MDS0, run the following script:
mgs_dev='/dev/mapper/vg_v-mgs'
mds0_dev='/dev/mapper/vg_v-mdt'
mgs_pri_nid='10.10.11.210@tcp1'
mgs_sec_nid='10.10.11.211@tcp1'
mkfs.lustre --mgs --reformat $mgs_dev
mkfs.lustre --mgsnode=$mgs_pri_nid --mgsnode=$mgs_sec_nid
--failnode=$mgs_sec_nid --reformat --fsname=v --mdt --index=0 $mds0_dev
mount -t lustre $mgs_dev /lustre/mgs/
mount -t lustre $mds0_dev /lustre/v/mdt
So the MGS and MDT0 will be mounted on MDS0.
Step 2.1) On MDS1:
mdt1_dev='/dev/mapper/vg_mdt1_v-mdt1'
mdt2_dev='/dev/mapper/vg_mdt2_v-mdt2'
mgs_pri_nid='10.10.11.210@tcp1'
mgs_sec_nid='10.10.11.211@tcp1'
mkfs.lustre --mgsnode=$mgs_pri_nid --mgsnode=$mgs_sec_nid
--failnode=$mgs_pri_nid --reformat --fsname=v --mdt --index=1 $mdt1_dev
# Does not mount.
mount -t lustre $mdt1_dev /lustre/v/mdt1
The mount of MDT1 will fail with the following error:
mount.lustre: mount /dev/mapper/vg_mdt1_v-mdt1 at /lustre/v/mdt1 failed:
Input/output error
Is the MGS running?
These are messages from Lustre logs while trying to mount MDT1:
LDISKFS-fs (dm-20): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode. quota=on.
Opts:
LDISKFS-fs (dm-20): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode. quota=on.

Lustre: server umount v-MDT0001 complete
LustreError: 8059:0:(obd_mount.c:1277:lustre_fill_super()) Unable to
mount (-5)
Step 2.2) On MDS1:
mdt1_dev='/dev/mapper/vg_mdt1_v-mdt1'
mdt2_dev='/dev/mapper/vg_mdt2_v-mdt2'
mgs_pri_nid='10.10.11.210@tcp1'
mgs_sec_nid='10.10.11.211@tcp1'
mkfs.lustre --mgsnode=$mgs_pri_nid --failnode=$mgs_pri_nid --reformat
--fsname=v --mdt --index=1 $mdt1_dev
mount -t lustre $mdt1_dev /lustre/v/mdt1
With this MDT1 will mount successfully. The only difference is that
second "--mgsnode" is not provided during mkfs.lustre.
Step 3: On MDS1 again:
mkfs.lustre --mgsnode=$mgs_pri_nid --mgsnode=$mgs_sec_nid
--failnode=$mgs_pri_nid --reformat --fsname=v --mdt --index=2 $mdt2_dev
mount -t lustre $mdt2_dev /lustre/v/mdt2
Once MDT1 is mounted, then using a second "--mgsnode" option works
without any errors and mount of MDT2 succeeds.
Lustre Versions: Reproducible on 2.4.0 and 2.4.91 versions.
Conclusion: Due to this bug, MDTs do not mount on MDSs that are not
running the MGS. With the workaround, HA will not be properly configured.
Also note that this issue is not related to DNE. Same issue and
"workaround" applies to an MDT of a different filesystem on MDS1 as well.
My initial thoughts on this are as follows:
In the above case, while mounting an MDT on MDS1 one of the mgsnode is
MDS1 itself.
It looks like ptlrpc_uuid_to_peer() calculates the distance to NIDs
using LNetDist() and chooses the one with the least distance. (which in
this case turns out to be MDS1 itself which does not have a running MGS)
Removing MDS1 from mgsnode and adding a different node worked for me.
I would really appreciate any inputs on this.
Thanks!

It depends on how the loop device is doing IO on the underlying objects.
It may
be that ext2 isn't the best filesystem for this. You could try formatting
it with:
mke2fs -t ext4 -O ^journal {device}
which will enable the flex_bg,extents and other ext4 features but disables
the
journal (which I assume you don't need because you are formatting as ext2
originally). You should also mount with "-t ext4".
The flex_bg and mballoc features of ext4 may help improve the IO going to
the
back-end storage and improve the performance when running over loop
devices.

How to add another servicenode
by Ryuichi Sudo ＠ SSTC
Hello,
I have Lustre 2.2 running and looking for a way to add another service
node based on tcp(ethernet).
My MDS,OSS are formatted with IB based NIDs(o2ib) like this;
(1) MDS
mkfs.lustre --reformat --fsname=lust01 --mgs --mdt
--servicenode=10.10.6.203@o2ib --servicenode=10.10.6.204@o2ib /dev/sdb
(2) OSS
mkfs.lustre --reformat --fsname=lust01 --servicenode=10.10.6.205@o2ib
--servicenode=10.10.6.206@o2ib --mgsnode=10.10.6.203@o2ib
--mgsnode=10.10.6.204@o2ib --ost --index=0 /dev/sdb
This lustre filesystem ('lust01') has been up & running for a while.
And I'd like to add tcp0 interfaces to the MDS/OSS as service nodes.
The purpose is to add non-IB based lustre clients to this LNET.
(e.g.)
--servicenode=10.10.1.1@tcp0 --servicenode=10.10.1.2@tcp0
Questions are;
- Is this valid lustre configuration?
- Is it possible to add tcp0 service nodes to an existing (operating)
lustre filesystem?
- If yes, would someone teach me how to add tcp0 NIDs to the MDS/OSS?
- Any pointer to the manual/URL are welcome.
Thanks, in advance.

Query on RDMA over IP with Lustre
by Singhal, Upanshu
Hello,
I am planning to use RDMA over IP with Lustre, can someone please let me know what are the configuration / settings we need to do for Lustre with RDMA over IP? Also, if there is any list of RDMA supporting cards which are certified with Lustre.
I looked in to the manual and it mentions RDMA with Infiniband, I hope we should be able to use RDMA with IP as well on Lustre, please reply.
Thanks,
-Upanshu

Hello guys,
does anyone of you have problems with chown and chmod operations taking extremely long time to complete. For example chown on 200 MB folder is taking minutes. The MDS is not loaded at all. All other operations (file read and write) seem to be doing fine.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Lustre Community Roadmap Update, Realignment on 2.5
by OpenSFS Administration
Background
----------
The Lustre community has banded together to work on the development of the
Lustre source code. As part of that effort, we regularly discuss the
roadmap for major Lustre releases. We have developed a schedule of major
releases that occur every six months.
We recognize, however, that many organizations need a branch of Lustre that
they can run for much longer periods of time than six months. To that end
we collectively decided that we would target the Lustre 2.4.0 feature
release to begin a side branch of Lustre to receive regularly scheduled
maintenance releases for a significant period of time (18 months or more).
Unfortunately, one particular feature that some folks feel strongly is an
absolute requirement, HSM (Hierarchical Storage Management), did not land on
the development branch in time for Lustre 2.4.0. Happily HSM is now landed
on the master branch, and will appear in the next Lustre feature release,
version 2.5.0.
Rather than split the community effort between two closely spaced scheduled
maintenance release branches, we have decided to realign our efforts from
the 2.4 branch to the 2.5 branch.
An updated Community Lustre Roadmap has been posted here:
http://lustre.opensfs.org/community-lustre-roadmap/
What this means in a Nutshell
-----------------------------
The Lustre 2.5 branch is the one for which we expect to see regularly
scheduled maintenance releases for an extended period of time (18+ months).
We no longer expect regularly scheduled maintenance releases on the Lustre
2.4 branch after the Lustre 2.4.2 release. Our recommended upgrade path
after 2.4.2 is an upgrade to the latest 2.5.X release.
What to do if you are already committed to Lustre 2.4
-----------------------------------------------------
If you have already committed to using Lustre 2.4 at your organization and
an upgrade to Lustre 2.5 is not either desired or possible, we recommend
that you contact your Lustre support vendor to find out which branches they
intend to support. Some Lustre vendors offer support for branches beyond
the Community's officially recommended releases.
Some Lustre vendors have already announced their intent to continue
supporting their users who have committed to the Lustre 2.4 branch.
