Instructions for integration Lustre 1.2.4
            ----------------------------------------------
1. Currently, you will have to build your own kernel and lustre package from
source. We will have the rpms for installing lustre in the next release. Also,
the testing so far has been very rudimentary, so you might see problems. If
you do, let us know.

2. Checkout the OpenSSI kernel source from CVS:
     http://www.openssi.org/cgi-bin/view?page=cvs.html
Lustre 1.2.4 has been briefly tested against the OPENSSI-FC branch.
For that branch, use OPENSSI-FC-1-2-STABLE if you want the stable branch 
for the 1.2 releases. Alternatively, you can checkout a release tag, such 
as OPENSSI-FC-1-2-1.
At this point, your directory should contain the following:
	# ls
	ci  openssi  srpms

3. Follow the instructions in step 3 to build the kernel with the following
   caveat. Before performing the "make fullkern" step, remove the existing
   lustre-ssi.patch in the openssi/kernel.patches/common/ directory. This
   patch integrates the older supported version of lustre i.e. 1.0.4.

4. Download the lustre-ssi.patch for lustre 1.2.4 from
   http://www.openssi.org/contrib/lustre/. Copy the new patch
   into openssi/kernel.patches/common/ directory
	# ls
	ci  openssi  srpms
	# cp lustre-1.2.4-ssi.patch openssi/kernel.patches/common/

6. To build the OpenSSI kernel from source, follow the instructions 
      openssi/docs/fedora/devel/INSTALL.cvs.
   Typically you will do the following:
   # tar jxvf srpms/linux-fc-2.4.22-1.2199.nptl.tar.bz2
   # ls
     ci  openssi  srpms

   # cd openssi
   # make fullkern

7. Download and copy the new kernel config file into linux-ssi
      http://www.openssi.org/contrib/lustre/kernel-ssi-2.4.22-i686-smp.config
   # cp kernel-ssi-2.4.22-i686-smp.config linux-ssi/.config

8. Build the kernel as per instructions in 
	   openssi/docs/fedora/devel/INSTALL.cvs.

9. Download the modified lustre-1.2.4 package from 
   http://www.openssi.org/contrib/lustre/lustre-1.2.4-ssi.tar.gz

10. Configure and Build as you would with the normal lustre package
   # tar zxvf lustre-1.2.4-ssi.tar.gz
   # ./configure --with-linux="path to the linux-ssi source tree"
   # make
   # make install.

11. Reboot new kernel
    Test and enjoy Lustre 1.2.4 !!
