A set of system configuration utilities are provided with Lustre. These utilities include:<br />
<br />
: '''mkfs.lustre''' - Used to format a disk for a Lustre service.<br />
<br />
: '''tunefs.lustre''' - Used to modify configuration information on a Lustre target disk.<br />
<br />
: '''lctl''' - Used to directly control Lustre via an ''ioctl'' interface, allowing various configuration, maintenance and debugging features to be accessed.<br />
<br />
: '''mount.lustre''' - Used to start a Lustre client or target service.<br />
<br />
For examples using these utilities, see:<br />
* [[Completing Basic Administrative Tasks]] - many of these procedures use one or more system configuration utilities. For example, in [http://wiki.lustre.org/manual/LustreManual20_HTML/LustreOperations.html#50438194_pgfId-1307131 ''Running Multiple Lustre File Systems''], ''mkfs.lustre'' is used to create a second file system and to set up a Lustre installation with two file systems.<br />
* [[Configuring the Lustre File System]] - ''mkfs.lustre'' and ''tunefs.lustre'' are used to configure a Lustre file system after installation.<br />
* [[Managing OSTs]] and related subtopics - ''lctl'' is used to show the status of an OST, to deactivate and activate an OST, to set weighting for free space, and to create a new pool and add an OST.<br />
