Description

Lustre Client 2.15.3 will not work with the above OS release.  I tried the DKMS client, but got the following error:

error: Failed dependencies:
        /usr/bin/python2 is needed by lustre-client-dkms-2.15.3-1.el9.noarch

I tried downgrading the kernel to 5.14.0-284.11.1.el9_2.x86_64 which the kmod Lustre client couldn't recognize the IB network.  I did some searching and found RH Problem/solution (Lustre client crashes) with bugzilla 2189349. That issue was resolved in the kernel I'm attempting to use (5.14.0-284.18.1.el9_2.x86_64), change log - mm/filemap: fix page end in filemap_get_read_batch (Nico Pache) [2189349 2181263].

Then I saw LU-16242 which documents the problem of python2 referenced in the lustre-client-dkms RPM. But that isn't scheduled until 2.16. How do I install Lustre on a RHEL/AlmaLinux 9.2 system? The release notes state that 9.2 is supported.
