[LU-4707] Don’t deploy the “lustre” init script on clients

Description

The "lustre" init script, etc/rc.d/init.d/lustre, is I think intended for use on Lustre servers only. Can it be removed from the payload for client nodes?

Thanks Dmitry. I've opened LU-5454 to get the lnet init script ported to SLES.

/etc/init.d/functions and /etc/sysconfig/network are specific to RHEL, but as far as I can tell, it's not using anything in /etc/init.d/functions.

I don't know why those scripts are specific to Red Hat distributive but those scripts are enabled if /etc/init.d/functions and /etc/sysconfig/network files exists.

The above change also has the side-effect that the lnet init script will not be included for non-redhat builds due to the "if INIT_SCRIPTS" check in lustre/scripts/Makefile.am.

Why do the init scripts not support a non-redhat environment? As far as I can tell, it actually looks like the lnet init script doesn't use anything from the redhat-specific /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions, and it would work on a SLES machine.

this is a Lustre bug - converting to an LU ticket, per IML triage meeting.
