Mounting and Accessing a Lustre File System
To access a File Storage with Lustre file system, you need to mount it from a Compute instance or OKE node. On the instance from which you want to mount the file system, you need to install a Lustre client. First, build the Lustre client package on a system, then install the client package on all instances that need to mount a Lustre file system.
Mount Commands
From an instance with Lustre client modules installed, you can mount a file system.
Getting the mount command
Use the following steps to get the mount command for a particular file system:
- On the Lustre file systems list page, select the file system that you want to work with. If you need help finding the list page, see Listing File Systems.
- On the file system's details page, under Lustre properties, find Mount command.
- Select Copy to copy the mount command to the clipboard.
Mounting a file system
From the instance, run the mount command copied to the clipboard in the previous steps. For example:
mount -t lustre 10.0.0.2@tcp:/lustrefs /mnt/mymountpointClients
A Lustre client running on a Compute instance is required to access Lustre file systems. Build and install a client that's compatible with the OS of the instances mounting the file system. If you need help with Lustre clients, contact support.
