Comment: add shortcut to bypass kernel build

...

This document walks through the steps of patching the kernel, building Lustre and running a basic test of the complete system. 

If you prefer to skip the kernel build steps and get right to building Lustre, you can download and install pre-patched server kernel RPMs from a recent lustre-master, and can then jump straight to the Configure and build Lustre section below.  You should navigate to the el8.x server results (green checkmarked circle), then Build Artifacts→Artifacts→RPMs→x86_64, and get at least the kernel, kernel-devel, kernel-modules RPMs to install.

Process

Provision machine and installing dependencies.

...

  1. Configure Lustre source:

    Code Block
    languagebash
    themeEclipse
    cd lustre-release
./configure --with-linux=/home/build/kernel/rpmbuild/BUILD/kernel-4.18.0-425.19.2.el8_7/linux-4.18.0-425.19.2.el8_lustre.`uname -m`/ --disable-gss --disable-shared --disable-crypto

  2. Build and install Lustre:

    Code Block
    languagebash
    themeEclipse
    make -j8
sudo make install
sudo depmod -a

  3. Run /usr/lib64/lustre/tests/llmount.sh and tests lustre:

    Code Block
    languagebash
    themeEclipse
    /usr/lib64/lustre/tests/llmount.sh
