[HPDD-discuss] Lustre 1.8 client on RedHat 7

Just wondering if anyone tried to build a Lustre 1.8 client on a RedHat 7 system (I believe I saw some chatter about building a Lustre 2+ client on el7). I have a legacy Lustre 1.8.4 file system, that I did not chance to upgrade to Lustre 2+, and I'd like to mount it on new RedHat 7 computes. On a RedHat 6 system a Whamcloud Lustre 1.8.7 client worked, but I was not able to get a Lustre 1.8.* Whamcloud rpm to install on RHEL7 --- too many old dependencies. I also tried to do a rpm --rebuild, but kept getting build errors such as: ---------------------------------------- .... .... cc1: all warnings being treated as errors make[6]: *** [/root/rpmbuild/BUILD/lustre-2.5.2/lustre/llite/llite_lib.o] Error 1 make[5]: *** [/root/rpmbuild/BUILD/lustre-2.5.2/lustre/llite] Error 2 make[4]: *** [/root/rpmbuild/BUILD/lustre-2.5.2/lustre] Error 2 make[3]: *** [_module_/root/rpmbuild/BUILD/lustre-2.5.2] Error 2 make[2]: *** [modules] Error 2 make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make: *** [all] Error 2 error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.hxvMyD (%build) RPM build errors: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.hxvMyD (%build) --------------------------------------- both for Lustre 1.8 client source rpms and Lustre 2.5 (on a RHEL7 system). I've never tried to build any part of Lustre from source --- only used the available rpms. However, nothing appears to have been released yet for RHEL7. When there is a release, I assume it will be for Lustre 2+, which is incompatible with Lustre 1.8.4 servers, right? Thanks, Zach
