Setup guide

To make the storage system visible over the network:
1 Log in to the Lustre system (or the central storage system) as root. The
storage filesystem is mounted as /mnt/StorageMedia(on HP Z800
workstations) or /mnt/md0(on older workstations).
2 Open the /etc/exports file in a text editor, such as vi.
The contents of the exports file appears, listing the available network
shares (filesystems mountable over the network).
3 At the end of the file, add a new line for the mount point of the storage
filesystem:
/mnt/StorageMedia *(rw,no_subtree_check,async)
or
/mnt/md0 *(rw,no_subtree_check,async)
This line creates a network share for the mount point of the storage
filesystem. Other users on the network will access the storage devices by
mounting its network share.
4 Save and close the file.
5 Activate the new network share for the storage device. Type:
exportfs -a
The list of network shares is refreshed from the exports file.
6 Verify the storage devices are available to be mounted by typing:
exportfs
Make sure the storage filesystem mount points are listed in the command
output.
Installing Backburner Manager and Backburner
Web Monitor
On Lustre stations, Backburner components are automatically installed with
the Lustre software. The installer asks you if you want to run Backburner
components on the station.
To avoid performance degradation, it is recommended to avoid running
Backburner components on your Lustre stations, and to relocate Backburner
Manager on a dedicated Linux machine in your network. Render jobs handled
by Backburner can be viewed and managed in Backburner Web Monitor from
any workstation on the network.
