Hi,
I am trying to use the rankmap to bind a 4-proc mpi job to one socket of a
two-socket, 8 core machine. However I'm getting a strange error.
CMDS USED
orterun --hostfile hostlist.1 -n 4 --mca rmaps_rank_file_path ./rankmap.1
desres-netscan -o $OUTDIR
$ cat rankmap.1
rank 0=drdb0235.en slot=0:0
rank 1=drdb0235.en slot=0:1
rank 2=drdb0235.en slot=0:2
rank 3=drdb0235.en slot=0:3
$ cat hostlist.1
drdb0235.en slots=8
ERROR SEEN

If I specify 8 slots in the rankmap, I see a different error: Error, invalid
rank (4) in the rankfile (./rankmap.1)
Thanks,
