[Comswg] [Swg] OpenSFS Support Working Group draft white paper - Round 2

[John Carrier]

Pam,

Dan raises a good point.  If we're talking Lustre 2.x, then servers will only run on RHEL and its derivatives.  But many of us are running Lustre 1.8.x on SLES and do not have the option of moving to RHEL without changing the hardware platform on which the servers are running.  Is the support working group considering support for Lustre 1.8.x?

Thanks,

I agree SLES (and RH) need to be added for clients.

I know Oracle's support policy (for their current but not new customers and partners - and for 1.8 and not 2.0) is online, and here is Whamcloud's support plans, just as another datapoint:

Hi Pam,

Your description of release mentions Redhat only.  I think this is appropriate for the servers, but many members are using other distributions on their cluster nodes.   What are the support plans for the Lustre clients for the OpenSFS distribution?

Oracle has stated that their Linux support is for OEL and other RHEL derivatives.  Clients will continue to be supported on all current distributions (SLES, RHEL, etc).

Thanks,

Hi all,

Attached is another draft of the OpenSFS Support Working Group white paper. During support model discussions, the SWG felt we were lacking a good understanding of the high level requirements for OpenSFS and any release distributed by the organization. Without this understanding, we are struggling with developing the support model. Therefore, this draft of includes a section with what we see as high level requirements for OpenSFS. I'm sending to the execs and other working groups to get a discussion started and hopefully we can reach a consensus regarding the requirements.

Regards,
Pam
