The instructions I sent were from memory, so there were probably some mistakes in there. Can’t think why I would have suggested -ba instead of --rebuild, for example. I’m working on improving my notes and my memory :).

As for the kernel versions, the current Lustre release us built against the 431.17.1.el6 kernel, but the exact mechanics of how your 431 system ended up with a 431.17.1 build I don’t quite know.

Hi Malcolm,

Thank you for your response. I was able to build the RPMs but noticed the following, not sure if I understand why…

This option worked for me:

rpmbuild --rebuild --define "lustre_name lustre-client" --define "configure_args --disable-server --enable-client" --without servers lustre-client-2.4.3-2.6.32_358.23.2.el6.x86_64.src.rpm

With the first option below I still got the same errors. I don’t understand why.

Other odd thing was my kernel is at: 2.6.32-431.el6.x86_64 and the RPM’s built during the build process was for: 2.6.32_431.17.1.el6

Not sure how or why it did that, any thoughts?

Thank you for your help!!

Amit

==================

You should be able to work-around the problem by supplying additional arguments to rpmbuild that will force a client build. For example:

rpmbuild -ba --define 'lustre_name lustre-client' lustre-client-2.4.3-2.6.32_358.23.2.el6.x86_64.src.rpm

A more complete example, including 3rd party OFED:

rpmbuild --rebuild --define 'configure_args --with-o2ib=/usr/src/ofa_kernel' \

--define 'lustre_name lustre-client' lustre-client-2.4.3-2.6.32_358.23.2.el6.x86_64.src.rpm

Another possible option is to manage the build through the configure arguments:

rpmbuild --rebuild --define 'configure_args --disable-server --enable-client --with-o2ib=/usr/src/ofa_kernel' \

lustre-client-2.4.3-2.6.32_358.23.2.el6.x86_64.src.rpm

However, I think that the first option is more consistent, since the "lustre-client" field is used to manipulate the package dependencies.

Subject: [HPDD-discuss] ReBuilding Lustre Client RPM v2.4.3 from source for RHEL6.5

Dear All,

I am rebuilding client RPMS(from lustre-client-2.4.3-2.6.32_358.23.2.el6.x86_64.src.rpm) for RHEL 6.5 kernel v2.6.32

And ran into a BUG https://jira.hpdd.intel.com/browse/LU-3954 that has been fixed in Lustre 2.5 release. Is there a patch for me to get around this on Lustre 2.4.3

Any help is greatly appreciated. Here is the error snip>>
