Intel® Manager for Lustre*Lustre Installation & ConfigurationImplementing an IEEL SolutionSession 04June 2014
FOR USE IN IEEL SOLUTION CLASS ONLY
Description of Lustre Installation Lab
• You will use IML Manager to deploy a Lustre file system
• Review Lustre best practices employed by IEEL
• Create a Lustre file system
• Mount Lustre v2.5 Clients
• Review IML monitoring a fully configured Lustre file system
For this lab you will need to access the IEEL Training Cluster via:• Browser (Recommended: Google Chrome v27 or Mozilla Firefox v22)• Terminal or Windows Putty Command Line Interface

Lustre Installation and ConfigurationIEEL Training Cluster ReviewLustre Installation Requirements
IML implements a set of Lustre Best Practices during Lustre
install• This puts specific requirements against the server hardware
configurations• Install Intel® EE for Lustre* only as described in the IEEL Partner
Installation Guide
Required operating system: Red Hat* Enterprise Linux v6.5 or CentOS v6.5
Network and DNS configuration: Confirm correct network and DNS (FQDNs).
• The management network interfaces must be properly configured and active
• Do not configure IP addresses for the HA crossover cable interfaces (server to target)
RAM and mass storage: Provide adequate memory and disk space
• Take advantage of the IEEL Partner support and request a review by Intel HPDD
• See “Determining Space Requirements” and “Determining Memory Requirements” in the Lustre Operations Manual.
FOR USE IN IEEL SOLUTION CLASS ONLY5High Performance Data Division
Server Configuration: Servers are configured in HA pairs, with a primary and secondary server • Storage servers should have SSH running with root login
permitted.• Non-root users should be prevented from logging into the storage
servers
• Do not install or configure Lustre, Corosync, or Pacemaker.
• Do not configure NTP on storage servers
• Do provide power control to the IML manager via either IPMI or PDU outlets
Storage Configuration: Read “Adding storage servers” in the IEEL Partner Installation Guide • Provide separate Volumes for the MGT and the MDT
• Shared storage for HA on MDT, MGT, OSTs

IML implements High Availability as a part of Lustre Best PracticesSee “Creating a new HA Lustre file system” in the IEEL Installation Guide
• Storage servers are deployed in a high availability (HA) configuration with shared storage.
• Servers are configured in primary and failover server pairs. When a server becomes unavailable, Lustre services that were running on that server are started on another server attached to the same storage.
• To support HA failover, each HA server must be able to automatically power-off its peer server if a failover is required.
• Powering off a faulty server is known as "node fencing”, and ensures that a shared storage device is not mounted by more than one server at a time.

IML implements High Availability as a part of Lustre Best PracticesSee “Creating a new HA Lustre file system” in the IEEL Installation Guide
• Provide shared storage for HA on MDT, MGT, OSTs • Each server of a failover pair must have access to exactly
the same LUNs as its peer. Each LUN is visible only to its two, paired failover servers.
• To properly enforce Lustre file permissions • The MDS must have the same UID/GID database access as the
Lustre clients• Using LDAP, the MDS’s must be configured to check for user
account information on both nodes to ensure proper
functionality in the event of a failover.
