Lustre Development Environment

This vagrant configuration creates Lustre development environment based on the master branch. This provides new virtual machine running on new patched kernel, the kernel source tree, all dependencies installed, and a lustre_release repo ready to be configured and compiled. (Or optionally already compiled and installed.)

N.B. One of kernel patches, block-integrity-allow-optional-integrity-functions-rhel9.3.patch is currently disabled as it does not apply.

Notes

  • The base distribution is locked to 9.4 by hardcoding the 9.4 URLs in the repo files. The version numbers are mostly parameterized in variables so support for multiple os releases should be straightforward with a refactor.
  • The setup process downloads a lustre repo and a kernel source rpm. This could be optimized to use local resources.
  • The main directory in this repo is shared with the VM with nfs, and this requires a user password during setup. This is not required and can be disabled or customized.

How To Use

Install vagrant

Download Vagrant

Install libvirt

  • RHEL/Rocky

    dnf install -y libvirt libvirt-client libvirt-devel vagrant qemu-kvm libvirt-daemon-kvm

  • Ubuntu

    apt install qemu-kvm libvirt-daemon-system
sudo adduser $USER libvirt

Install libvirt plugin for Vagrant

   vagrant plugin install vagrant-libvirt

Start VM

cd lustre-devel-vagrant
export VAGRANT_DEFAULT_PROVIDER=libvirt
vagrant up

The initial setup will take a while as dependencies are installed and a new kernel is built and installed.

After the VM is up

Once vagrant up completes successfully, then you need to restart the VM so it is running the new kernel.

vagrant reload

At this point you can compile and install lustre modules with:

vagrant provision --provision-with=build-lustre

Alternatively, you can login with vagrant ssh and build Lustre manually. The lustre source is in ~/src/lustre-release, and the path to the kernel source is /home/vagrant/kernel/rpmbuild/BUILD/kernel-5.14.0-427.42.1.el9_4/linux-5.14.0-427.42.1_lustre.el9.x86_64.

Install Rust development tools with: vagrant provision --provision-with=rust

The setup and kernel building is from the Walk-thru Build Lustre Master on Rocky 8.7 wiki page.
