git clone git://git.whamcloud.com/fs/lustre-release.git
git checkout multi-rail
# note make sure to pull out whatever the latest patch series is
git pull https://review.whamcloud.com/fs/lustre-release refs/changes/81/33181

sh ./autogen.sh
PYTHON_VERSION=3.6 ./configure --with-linux=<kernel_path>

Deploy Lustre rpms

Deploy lustre RPMs on your test nodes using your favourite method.

Suggested Method:

Copy the RPMs to the test node in some directory

mkdir ~/lustre_rpms
scp root@buildmachine:~/lustre_build/*.rpm ~/lustre_rpms

uninstall any existing Lustre rpms

rpm -e --nodeps kmod-lustre kmod-lustre-osd-ldiskfs kmod-lustre-tests lustre lustre-iokit \
lustre-osd-ldiskfs-mount lustre-tests lustre-resource-agents lustre-debuginfo

Install the new rpms

rpm --nodeps --ivh *.rpm

The LUTF is now installed with the rest of the lustre tests

cd /usr/lib64/lustre/tests/lutf
