Lustre is an open-source, parallel distributed file system used for high-performance computing. In this tutorial, we will go through the steps to install Lustre from http://lustre.org/ on Fedora CoreOS latest.

Prerequisites

Before starting, make sure you have the following requirements:

• A machine running Fedora CoreOS latest
• A user with sudo privileges

Step 1: Install Required Packages

Lustre requires a number of packages to be installed on the system. Open the terminal and update the package repository index by typing:

sudo dnf update

Next, install the required packages by running the following command:

sudo dnf install \
     elfutils-libelf-devel \
     rpm-build \
     dbench \
     git \
     kernel-devel \
     kernel-modules-extra \
     libyaml \
     lvm2 \
     make \
     perl \
     python \
     zip \
     zlib-devel

Step 2: Clone Lustre

To clone the Lustre source code, open the terminal and navigate to the directory where you want to store the Lustre source code. Then, type the following command:

git clone git://git.hpdd.intel.com/fs/lustre-release.git

Step 3: Build and Install Lustre

Navigate to the Lustre source directory by typing:

cd lustre-release

To build and install Lustre, type the following command:

./configure
make 
sudo make install

This will install Lustre on your system.

Step 4: Set up Lustre

To set up Lustre, create a configuration file named lustre.conf in the /etc/modprobe.d/ directory by typing:

sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/lustre.conf

Add the following lines to the lustre.conf file:

options lnet networks=tcp(nic)#This line should contain the ip address of the node in place of 'nic'
options lnet accept-new-nids=1

Replace 'nic' with the IP address of the node.

Finally, reload the Lustre kernel modules by typing:

sudo modprobe lustre
sudo modprobe lustre_tcp
sudo modprobe lnet
sudo modprobe lnet_selftest

With these commands, Lustre is now installed and ready to use on your Fedora CoreOS latest system.
