Mounting and unmounting Lustre file systems on client nodes4–16
4.9 Restricting interconnect interfaces on the client node
When a Gigabit Ethernet interconnect is used to connect client nodes to an HP SFS system, the default
behavior is for only the first Gigabit Ethernet interface on a client node to be added as a possible network
for file system traffic.
To ensure that the correct interfaces on the client node are available for file system traffic, you must ensure
that the options lnet settings in the /etc/modprobe.conf.lustre or
/etc/modules.conf.lustre file are correct. Use the sfsconfig command to set the options, or see
Appendix B for information on setting the options manually.
4.10 File system service information and client communications
messages
You can use the sfslstate command to view information on the connection state of file system services
on a client node; see Section 4.10.1 for more information.
Messages relating to communications failures and recovery are displayed in the /var/log/messages
files. See Section 4.10.2 for examples and explanations of these messages.
Refer to Chapter 4 of the HP StorageWorks Scalable File Share System User Guide for more information on
file system states with reference to client connections.
4.10.1Viewing file system state information using the sfslstate command
When Lustre mounts a file system on a client node, the node has a connection with the MDS service and
with each OST service used by the file system. You can use the sfslstate command to view information
on the state of each of these connections.
The syntax of the sfslstate command is as follows:
sfslstate [filesystem_name] [-v]
To view a summary of connection states for all file systems on a client node, enter the sfslstate command
without arguments on the node, as shown in the following example. In this example, there are two file
systems, data and scratch:
# sfslstate
data: MDS: FULL OSTs: FULL
scratch: MDS: FULL OSTs: FULL
To display information about one file system, specify the name of the name of the file system with the
sfslstate command, as shown in the following example. Note that you must enter the name of the file
system, not the mount point:
# sfslstate data
data: MDS: FULL OSTs: FULL
To display information about each OST service, specify the -v option with the sfslstate command.
Note the following points regarding service connection states:
• The FULL state shows that the service is fully connected and operating normally. You will be able to
perform I/O operations to a file system where all services are in the FULL state.
• If an HP SFS service is not in the FULL state, the connection to that service is not operating normally.
Any attempts to perform I/O operations to the file system that uses the service will stall.
• During a mount request, it is normal for the NEW state to be shown.
• If a connection fails to establish immediately, the state of the connection alternates between the
CONNECT state and the DISCONN state.
