Install Lustre client on an Intel® Xeon Phi™ Coprocessor
To install Lustre, install the following two RPMs on the Intel® Xeon Phi™ coprocessor (not on the host).
# rpm –ivh lustre-client-mic-<version>.x86\_64.rpm
# lustre-client-mic-modules-<version>.x86\_64.rpm
In case of issues with dependencies, add the –nodeps option.
After restarting the MPSS service, the Lustre client will appear on the coprocessor card.
Configure Lustre for the Intel® Xeon Phi™ Coprocessor
Configuring Lustre for the Xeon Phi Coprocessor is easy. You only need
to specify the LNET configuration in /etc/modprobe.d/lustre.conf
file.
To check configuration, enter the following commands.
# ssh mic0
# echo 'options lnet networks="o2ib0(ib0)"' > /etc/modprobe.d/lustre.conf
# modprobe lustre
# mkdir -p /mnt/lustre
# mount.lustre <MGS\_IP>@o2ib0:<lustre\_FS\_name>;
/mnt/lustre
To make this configuration persistent across re-boots, enter the following commands (where “X” is the card number).
# mkdir -p /var/mpss/micX/mnt/lustrefs
# echo 'dir /mnt/lustrefs 0755 0 0' >> /var/mpss/micX.filelist
# mkdir -p /var/mpss/micX/etc/modprobe.d
# cp /etc/modprobe.d/lustre.conf /var/mpss/micX/etc/modprobe.d/
(or just create it in /var/mpss/micX/etc/modprobe.d/
)
# echo 'file /etc/modprobe.d/lustre.conf etc/modprobe.d/lustre.conf 0644 0 0' >> /var/mpss/micX.filelist
