$ make -j 4 ; make -j 4 modules
$ make install ; make modules_install
$ mkinitramfs -o /boot/initrd.img-2.6.18.8 2.6.18.8
$ update-grub

3. Build Lustre modules and tools

$ ./configure --with-linux=/usr/src/xen-3.1.3/linux-2.6.18.8-xen/
$ make -j 4 ; make install
$ depmod -a
$ vim /etc/modules 
ldiskfs
lnet networks=tcp
$ reboot

4. Test Lustre

• Check Luster modules

  $ lsmod | grep lnet
  $ lsmod | grep ldoskfs
  

4. Setup Lustre

• Setup Meta Data & Management Server

  $ mkfs.lustre --fsname=cloudfs --mdt --mgs /dev/sda2
  $ sudo mount -t lustre /dev/sda2 /home/mdt
  

• Setup Object Storage Target

  $ mkfs.lustre --fsname=cloudfs --ost --mgsnode=cloud@tcp0 /dev/sda3
  $ sudo mount -t lustre /dev/sda3 /home/ost
  

• Lustre Client started

  $ sudo mount -t lustre cloud@tcp0:/cloudfs /home/cloudfs
  $ df -h
  $ mount
