Description

Following the instructions in Section 19.1.2 of the ops manual I deactivated an OST.

t:~# lctl dl
...
 21 UP osp lustre-OST0000-osc-MDT0000 lustre-MDT0000-mdtlov_UUID 5
 22 UP osp lustre-OST0001-osc-MDT0000 lustre-MDT0000-mdtlov_UUID 5
t:lustre# lctl --device 21 deactivate
t:lustre# lctl dl
...
 21 UP osp lustre-OST0000-osc-MDT0000 lustre-MDT0000-mdtlov_UUID 5
 22 UP osp lustre-OST0001-osc-MDT0000 lustre-MDT0000-mdtlov_UUID 5

Device 21 should be IN instead of UP. This is controlled by the obd_inactive field of struct obd_device which is only modified in the lov layer.

The active proc files do work correctly:

t:lustre# cat /proc/fs/lustre/osp/lustre-OST0000-osc-MDT0000/active 
0
t:lustre# cat /proc/fs/lustre/osp/lustre-OST0001-osc-MDT0000/active 
1

Also note that the examples in the manual need to be updated to reflect the osc to osp switchover.
