Lustre is an open-source, parallel, distributed file system designed for large-scale, high-speed data storage and retrieval. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Lustre on OpenSUSE Latest.
Before starting with the installation, make sure that you have the following:
The first step is to install the required packages for Lustre on your OpenSUSE machine. Run the following command in the terminal:
sudo zypper install lustre-client lnet
This command will install the Lustre client and the Lustre Networking (LNET) module.
To load the Lustre modules, run the following command in the terminal:
sudo modprobe lustre
sudo modprobe lnet
These commands will load the Lustre and LNET modules into the kernel.
The next step is to configure Lustre. For this tutorial, we will assume that you are setting up Lustre to connect to a Lustre server running on a remote machine.
Edit the Lustre configuration file /etc/modprobe.d/lustre.conf and add the following lines:
options lnet networks=tcp(eth0)
options lnet tcp_ports=10000
Replace eth0 with the name of your network interface.
To install the Lustre utilities, run the following command in the terminal:
sudo zypper install lustre-utils
The final step is to mount the Lustre file system. Run the following command in the terminal:
sudo mount -t lustre <lustre_server>:<lustre_filesystem> <mount_point>
Replace <lustre_server> with the IP address or hostname of the Lustre server and <lustre_filesystem> with the name of the Lustre file system. Replace <mount_point> with the directory where you want the Lustre file system to be mounted.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Lustre on your OpenSUSE machine and mounted a Lustre file system. You can now start using Lustre for high-speed data storage and retrieval.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
