The following will be a high level recount of how we easily implement the solution using the BCM tool to deploy and configure.
The first thing we did was to establish an optimized and fully functional Lustre environment. For this solution, we used the Dell
Storage for HPC with Intel Enterprise Edition (EE) for Lustre software as the Lustre solution, Cloudera CDH as the
Hadoop distribution and Bright Cluster Manager (BCM) as the imaging and cluster deployment tool.
Using the Intel Manager for Lustre (IML) GUI interface, we verified the MDT and OST objects are healthy and in an optimal
state. We also verified that the LNet interface and the Lustre Kernel modules are loaded and Lustre NIDS are accessible.
Verify contents of /etc/modprobe.d/iml_lnet_module_parameters.conf are correct for each MDS and OSS server. Example below.
[root@boulder_mds1 ~]# cat /etc/modprobe.d/iml_lnet_module_parameters.conf
# This file is auto-generated for Lustre NID configuration by IML
# Do not overwrite this file or edit its contents directly
options lnet networks=o2ib0(ib0)
