OverviewThe Lustre 101 web-based
course series is focused on administration and monitoring of large-scale
deployments of the Lustre parallel file system. Course content is drawn from
nearly a decade of experience in deploying and operating leadership-class
Lustre file systems at the Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility (OLCF) at
Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL),
as well as contributions from other sites with large-scale Lustre experience. A primary concern in deploying a large system such as Lustre is building the operational experience and insight to triage and resolve intermittent service problems. Although there is no replacement for experience, it is also true that there is no adequate training material for becoming a Lustre administration expert. The overall goal of the Lustre 101 course series is to distill and disseminate to the Lustre community the working knowledge of those with significant experience in administration of large-scale Lustre deployments in the hope that others can avoid the trials and tribulations of Lustre administration and monitoring at scale. Available Courses1. Lustre
Administration Essentials This course is targeted at experienced
system administrators who are relatively new to Lustre, but may have prior
experience with other distributed and parallel file systems. Topics in
this course include an introduction to Lustre, hardware selection and
benchmarking strategies, Lustre software installation and basic
configuration, Lustre tuning and LNet configuration, basic file system
administration and monitoring, and methods for problem diagnosis and analysis. 2. Lustre
Administration Tutorials This course includes a series
of tutorials on specific aspects of Lustre administration and
monitoring. Lessons in this course are intended for system
administrators who are relatively new to Lustre, as well as more
experienced admins seeking to learn about new ways of using Lustre or
improving its reliability or performance. |
