I actually tried both:
-- in the interactive mode, as soon as I hit enter, the PBS sends me to a
worker node (WN2) that does not have tm support.
I guess if I added the head node to the list of PBS nodes, I would not run
into the problem. However, I am glad I did run into
the problem. You guys helped me understand how mpirun interacts with PBS.
-- in the batch mode, the PBS chooses WN2 as the root node (rank 0) to run
mpirun.
So, Both behaved in the same in my case.
With many thanks Ralph for the clarification. I am now getting into the openMPI
spirit. By the way, I love it :)

Subject: Re: [OMPI users] mpirun is using one PBS node only
Just to further show my confusion (since I wrote much of the TM support):
If you get an interactive allocation and then type "mpirun ....", mpirun will
execute on the node upon which you are sitting. Jeff's statement is -only- true
if you "qsub" the job - i.e., you run it in batch mode.

If you are running it in batch mode, then Jeff is correct - you will need OMPI
built with TM support on all nodes since you (in general) cannot know which
node PBS will launch you on.
Hope that is clearRalph

That's exactly the sound logic I understood from OpenMPI documentation but
I thought the website is reliable in the sense it configured the server node
with
tm support.
I am very grateful to subscribe to this list. It is one of the most active list
I ever saw.
Thanks a lot Jeff.
With Best Regards.
