Configure DAL Mounts (Optional)

Optional procedure on how to configure DAL mounts.

If the system has a direct attached Lustre (DAL) filesystem that is mounted on login nodes, in addition to adding the login_nodes_aarch64 node group to the client_mounts setting of the cray_lustre_client service, the auto boot file must be modified to mount the DAL filesystem on the aarch64 login nodes after it is started with the lustre_control start command.

  1. Modify the auto boot file to mount the DAL filesystem on the aarch64 login nodes after it is started with the lustre_control start command.
    The following example assumes that the auto file has the following two lines to start the DAL filesystem and then mount it on the existing login node.
    lappend actions { crms_exec_on_bootnode "root" "module load lustre-utils; lustre_control start -f dal" }
    lappend actions { crms_exec_on_bootnode "root" "module load lustre-utils; lustre_control mount_clients -f dal -w login" } 
  2. Add the two new nodes to the second line if the two aarch64 login nodes were added to the system with hostnames login1-aarch and login2-aarch.
    lappend actions { crms_exec_on_bootnode "root" "module load lustre-utils;lustre_control mount_clients -f dal -w login,login1-aarch,login2-aarch" }
