From my understanding of the lustre manual, I'm not sure what I
want
to do is possible, so I figured i'd ask
I have several clusters on different subnets
clusterA eth0 192.168.1.0/24 ib0 192.168.2.0/24
clusterB eth0 192.168.3.0/24 ib0 192.168.4.0/24
...etc...
what i want to do is connect lustre onto a separate network and use
only infiniband for the lustre communication
lustreA eth0 192.168.5.0/24 ib0 192.168.6.0/24
if i add
ib0:1 192.168.2.250/32
ib0:2 192.168.4.250/32
to the lustreA server I can talk via ipoib. however as i understand
it (probably incorrectly) lustreA would appear in lnet as
o2ib0(ib0) 192.168.6.250
o2ib1(ib0:1) 192.168.2.250
o2ib2(ib0:2) 192.168.4.250
however the clients would appear as
clusterA o2ib0(ib0) 192.168.2.250
clusterB o2ib0(ib0) 192.168.4.250
which as i understand it, creates a conflict in the o2ib devices where
o2ib0 on the client will not match o2ib2(ib0:2) on the lustre server
Is there a way to accomplish this or a better way overall?
