Do you understand what the problem is here?

Thanks

Do you understand what the problem is here?

Sure. Yu Jian is trying to use an unsupported configuration: el6/ofa. The last build in which that combination was attempted (and was discovered not to work, and thus disabled for subsequent builds) was 8 builds ago (build 12, we are now on build 20). I wonder why she is using a build that is so old. Is this a tool failing of some sort or did she specifically ask for build 12?

[Jian Yu]

I just clicked into the "lustre-b1_8" and "lustre-master" entries on the Jenkins system and found such failures:

Can you please comment on this

Thanks

Peter,

I'm not sure there is anything more to comment on. It seems that Yu Jian is simply reporting a known issue which is that ofed 1.5.3 and el6 are not a supported combination for the kernel we are using on both b1_8 and master.

IOW, there is no action here for anyone that I can see. Probably we just need to close this ticket.

Brian,

Which version are we using for RHEL 6, if you tell me I will update the support matrix to match.

[Brian Murrell (Inactive)]

We can only build "inkernel" OFED for RHEL6. Our kernel is too far advanced for OFA's OFED.

[Chris Gearing (Inactive)]

This ticket can therefore become the tracker for getting OFA OFED into RHEL6 build when it becomes available. I'll leave it assigned to Brian and update the status matrix to reference this ticket.

[Andreas Dilger]

Should this ticket be closed, since we are already dealing with OFED 1.5.4 and RHEL6 in a separate ticket?

[Brian Murrell (Inactive)]

We have moved to OFED 1.5.4 on the build farm with support for RHEL6 kernels that will build with OFED 1.5.4 landing hopefully to the main development branches.
