Subject: [Lustre-devel] Start the MGS first?
Date: Wed, 25 Mar 2009 12:48:03 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <49CA8A73.9080103@sun.com> (raw)
As of Lustre 1.6, servers can be started in any order (after the initial registration at first startup). Internally, this required significant bending of our connection rules, and with a move toward ZFS becomes even more burdensome.
So my question to the Lustre community is this: would anyone strenuously object to a startup ordering requirement that the MGS must be started before any other servers?
This would probably be in the Lustre 3.0 timeframe. It is also likely that we will have to divorce the MGS and MDT onto separate devices -- no more "combo" MDT/MGSes.
