/etc/nids - The static lookup table for Lustre NIDs

The static lookup table for Lustre NIDs

The nids file maps host names to NIDs and vice-versa.

Comments beginning with a hash (#) are ignored. Each line represents one host and includes the following information separated by white space:

The primary hostname of the node, e.g. uname -n.
The primary NID of the node.
Any additional NIDs.
