OK. I just thought this was Open MPI related because i was able to use the
aliases of the hosts (i.e. plankton instead of plankton.uzh.ch) in
the host file...
However, I encountered a new problem:
if the rankfile lists all the entries which occur in the host file
there is an error message.
In the following example, the hostfile is
[jody@plankton neander]$ cat th_02
nano_00.uzh.ch slots=2 max-slots=2
nano_02.uzh.ch slots=2 max-slots=2
and the rankfile is:
[jody@plankton neander]$ cat rf_02
rank 0=nano_00.uzh.ch slot=0
rank 2=nano_00.uzh.ch slot=1
rank 1=nano_02.uzh.ch slot=0
rank 3=nano_02.uzh.ch slot=1
Here is the error:
[jody@plankton neander]$ mpirun -np 4 -hostfile th_02 -rf rf_02 ./HelloMPI
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are not enough slots available in the system to satisfy the 4 slots
that were requested by the application:
./HelloMPI
Either request fewer slots for your application, or make more slots available
for use.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
A daemon (pid unknown) died unexpectedly on signal 1 while attempting to
launch so we are aborting.
There may be more information reported by the environment (see above).
This may be because the daemon was unable to find all the needed shared
libraries on the remote node. You may set your LD_LIBRARY_PATH to have the
location of the shared libraries on the remote nodes and this will
automatically be forwarded to the remote nodes.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
mpirun noticed that the job aborted, but has no info as to the process
that caused that situation.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
mpirun: clean termination accomplished
If i use a hostfile with one more entry
[jody@aim-plankton neander]$ cat th_021
aim-nano_00.uzh.ch slots=2 max-slots=2
aim-nano_02.uzh.ch slots=2 max-slots=2
aim-nano_01.uzh.ch slots=1 max-slots=1
Then this works fine:
[jody@aim-plankton neander]$ mpirun -np 4 -hostfile th_021 -rf rf_02 ./HelloMPI
Is there an explanation for this?
Thank You
Jody
