Thankfully, Rocks v4.3 kernel roll and Lustre v1.6.1 appear to be based on the same kernel version. This saved me from having to get the kernel source, and patch it for Lustre. I've done that before with some success, but I'm happy to be able to avoid doing it again. The following applies to setting up Rocks so that Lustre is installed and ready on compute nodes. I also put Lustre on the frontend node, but that was done manually, simply by installing the rpms, and configuring grub.
