If you plan to enable failover server functionality with Lustre™ (either on an OSS or MDS), you must add high-availability (HA) software to your cluster software. You can use any HA software package with Lustre.

For more information about failover in a Lustre file system, see Chapter 3: Understanding Failover in Lustre in the Lustre Operations Manual.
