[LU-10162] mount command does not appear to be using the failover MGS/second MGS

• Type: Bug
• Resolution: Unresolved
• Priority: Minor
• Affects Version/s: Lustre 2.10.1

Description

We have just started testing Lustre 2.10.1 (recent git) on one of our RHEL7 clients with our 2.7 based servers. One of the file systems I'm testing on is currently running with the (single) MDT and MGS on the second/failover server and the default mount command doesn't work. It does work if we swap the order of IPs in the mount command.

So this command does not work:

 mount -t lustre 10.144.134.13@o2ib,172.23.134.13@tcp:10.144.134.14@o2ib,172.23.134.14@tcp:/lustre04 /mnt/lustre04

But this command works and mounts the file system:

sudo mount -t lustre 10.144.134.14@o2ib,172.23.134.14@tcp:10.144.134.13@o2ib,172.23.134.13@tcp:/lustre04 /mnt/lustre04

On our older clients running 2.7.3, both commands succeed in mounting the file system as I expected it. This has been verified just now.

This is on clients which have both an NID on tcp and o2ib networks and as far as I can tell, the communication over both IB and ethernet works in general on the client where we're testing 2.10.1. I can ping 10.144.134.13 and 172.23.134.13 from the os, but lctl ping 10.144.134.13@o2ib times out.

The first MDS (10.144.134.13 and 172.23.134.13 does not have any lnet or lustre modules loaded.

Mount attempts:

[bnh65367@cs04r-sc-com99-20 ~]$ sudo mount -t lustre 10.144.134.14@o2ib,172.23.134.14@tcp:10.144.134.13@o2ib,172.23.134.13@tcp:/lustre04 /mnt/lustre04

Is the MGS running?

Syslog on the MDS does not seem to show anything, syslog from the clients for both mount attempts is below.

For now we are only testing this version but if this doesn't work, I'm not sure we can update any production machines.
