RE: Question regarding multi-homed clients

options lnet networks="tcp0(eth0)"
 
...will make LNET always uses interface eth0 to construct a NID (i.e. <ip 
address of eth0>@tcp0). 
 
    Cheers, 
                   Eric

        Subject: [Lustre-discuss] Question regarding multi-homed clients
        
        
        Hi all,
        
        We're running a few clients who have multiple IPs assigned to them 
which are not broadcast. These however are picked up by
the Lustre client and the MDS evicts the client in question after bringing it 
up. 
        
        A way around this is to ensure that only the primary interface is up 
when Lustre is bought up on the client. Is there
however any way to restrict the client to only communicate via, say eth0?
        
        Thanks, 
        --
