Description

We are trying to stand up a new Lustre instance based on version 2.12.1. The DKMS packages downloaded from the Whamcloud website install without error. But, there doesn't seem to be a way to start the Lustre service. /usr/lib/systemd/system/lustre.service appears to only unmount a filesystem and there is no longer an /etc/rc.d/init.d/lustre

 

We found that removing both lnet.service and lustre.service from /usr/lib/systemd/system/ and recopying /etc/rc.d/init.d/lnet and /etc/rc.d/init.d/lustre from a working Lustre 2.10.3 system allowed us to start the system and mount the OSTs that we created with mkfs.lustre.

 

Creating an MGS/MDS with mkfs.lustre executes and running zpool list reports the expected values. The server is using the in kernel OFED for Mellanox ConnectX 100GBE cards. The packages we installed were:
