When block device naming is not persistent, you may specify the “by-path” name on the <blockdev> line in a node’s disk setup instead of, say, /dev/nvme2n1. For example: <blockdev>/dev/disk/by-path/pci-0000:03:00.0-scsi-0:3:111:0</blockdev> You may find the “by-path” names for a node’s block devices by running the following command on that node: # ls…

The BCM Lmod package is built with spider cache functionality. The recommended directory for storing this cache is /var/lib/lmod/mData/cacheDir, and it is recommended that the timestamp file be located at /var/lib/lmod/mData/cacheTS.txt. The cache may be generated and updated as follows: # /usr/share/lmod/lmod/libexec/update_lmod_system_cache_files -t /var/lib/lmod/mData/cacheTS.txt -d /var/lib/lmod/mData/cacheDir /cm/shared/modulefiles Note how the…
