I have a single MDT/MGT that is hosted on a pair of MGS/MDS machines acting as a failover pair.  Both MDS/MGS machines have visibility to the shared MDT/MGT.  One of the two machines has the FS mounted, the other does not.

 

On my client side I have the following in my fstab:

 

10.248.58.101@tcp0:10.248.58.100@tcp0:/content     /content           lustre  defaults,_netdev 0 0

 

I have also tried separating the machines with a “,” but it hasn’t made any run difference.  There is a difference in /var/log/messages, but either way, it doesn’t work.

 

Should I be using the , or the :?  Is my syntax correct?

 

Thanks!

Andrew,

This is how I use it:

# mount -t lustre mds-0-0@tcp0:mds-0-1@tcp0:/npfs /mnt/npfs

So /etc/fstab would be something like:

mds-0-0@tcp0:mds-0-1@tcp0:/npfs /mnt/npfs lustre ...whatever...


Note that mds-0-0 and mds-0-1 are also MGS, despite their name.

Thanks! I think I had a parameter problem when I formatted the mgs. I am re-doing that now.
