[LU-11888] Unreachable client NID confusing Lustre 2.12

Duplicate — Mon, 2 Nov 2020 18:23:12 +0000

Just wanted to report this, although probably not critical. During testing of 2.12.0 on IB only (o2ib with routers), we mistakenly set up a client with two NIDs, one on tcp0:

[root@sh-06-33 ~]# lctl list_nids
10.10.6.33@tcp
10.8.6.33@o2ib6

This confused the Lustre servers a LOT:

But the main problem is that and even after the client rebooted without the tcp0 NID, the server was still logging things like:

[664150.993807] Lustre: fir-MDT0000: Connection restored to 49c3dc53-716e-1689-4b27-666ee552afb7 (at 10.10.6.33@tcp)

Re: this last line, it was after the client has rebooted. While it looks like the server only prints the first client NID, but in that case it remembered the last client's tcp0 nid, which is weird...

The servers are using o2ib only:

[root@fir-md1-s1 ~]# lctl list_nids
10.0.10.51@o2ib7
[root@fir-md1-s1 ~]# lctl route_list

We were wondering how it is even possible. The solution to fix this in a timely manner was to restart the Lustre servers.
