- <para>Lustre 2.0 is built on a new architectural code base, which is different than the one used with Lustre 1.8. These architectural changes require existing Lustre 1.8.x users to follow a slightly different procedure to upgrade to Lustre 2.0 - requiring clients to be unmounted and the file system be shut down. Once the servers are upgraded and restarted, then the clients can be remounted. After the upgrade, Lustre 2.0 servers can interoperate with compatible 1.8 clients and servers.
