Amazon LinuxCentOS, Rocky Linux, and Red HatUbuntuSUSE Linux

Installing the Lustre client

To mount your Amazon FSx for Lustre file system from a Linux instance, first install the open-source Lustre client. Then, depending on your operating system version, use one of the following procedures. For kernel support information, see Lustre file system and client kernel compatibility.

If your compute instance isn't running the Linux kernel specified in the installation instructions, and you can't change the kernel, you can build your own Lustre client. For more information, see Compiling Lustre on the Lustre Wiki.

Amazon Linux

  1. Open a terminal on your client.

  2. Determine which kernel is currently running on your compute instance by running the following command.

    uname -r

  3. Review the system response and compare it to the following minimum kernel requirement for installing the Lustre client on Amazon Linux 2023:

    • 6.1 kernel minimum requirement - 6.1.79-99.167.amzn2023

    If your EC2 instance meets the minimum kernel requirement, proceed to the step and install the lustre client.

    If the command returns a result less than the kernel minimum requirement, update the kernel and reboot your Amazon EC2 instance by running the following command.

    sudo dnf -y update kernel && sudo reboot

    Confirm that the kernel has been updated using the uname -r command.

  4. Download and install the Lustre client with the following command.

    sudo dnf install -y lustre-client

  1. Open a terminal on your client.

  2. Determine which kernel is currently running on your compute instance by running the following command.

    uname -r

  3. Review the system response and compare it to the following minimum kernel requirements for installing the Lustre client on Amazon Linux 2:

    • 5.10 kernel minimum requirement - 5.10.144-127.601.amzn2

    • 5.4 kernel minimum requirement - 5.4.214-120.368.amzn2

    • 4.14 kernel minimum requirement - 4.14.294-220.533.amzn2

    If your EC2 instance meets the minimum kernel requirements, proceed to the step and install the lustre client.

    If the command returns a result less than the kernel minimum requirement, update the kernel and reboot your Amazon EC2 instance by running the following command.

    sudo yum -y update kernel && sudo reboot

    Confirm that the kernel has been updated using the uname -r command.

  4. Download and install the Lustre client with the following command.

    sudo amazon-linux-extras install -y lustre

    If you are unable to upgrade the kernel to the kernel minimum requirement, you may install the legacy 2.10 client with the following command.

    sudo amazon-linux-extras install -y lustre2.10

  1. Open a terminal on your client.

  2. Determine which kernel is currently running on your compute instance by running the following command. The Lustre client requires Amazon Linux kernel 4.14, version 104 or higher. 

    uname -r

  3. Do one of the following:

    • If the command returns 4.14.104-78.84.amzn1.x86_64 or a higher version of 4.14, download and install the Lustre client using the following command.

      sudo yum install -y lustre-client

    • If the command returns a result less than 4.14.104-78.84.amzn1.x86_64, update the kernel and reboot your Amazon EC2 instance by running the following command. 

      sudo yum -y update kernel && sudo reboot

      Confirm that the kernel has been updated using the uname -r command. Then download and install the Lustre client as described previously.

CentOS, Rocky Linux, and Red Hat

You can install and update Lustre client packages that are compatible with Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), Rocky Linux, and CentOS from the Amazon FSx Lustre client yum package repository. These packages are signed to help ensure that they have not been tampered with before or during download. The repository installation fails if you don't install the corresponding public key on your system.
