We are seeing the similar problem with our infiniband machines. After some 
investigation I discovered that we were not setting our slurm environment 
correctly (ref: 
https://computing.llnl.gov/linux/slurm/mpi_guide.html#open_mpi). Are you 
setting the ports in your slurm.conf and executing srun with --resv-ports?

I have yet to see if this fixes the problem for LANL. Waiting on a sysadmin to 
modify the slurm.conf.

Thanks.  We're only seeing it on machines with Ethernet only as the
interconnect.  fortunately for us that only equates to one small
machine, but it's still annoying.  unfortunately, i don't have enough
knowledge to dive into the code to help fix, but i can certainly help
test

Any ideas on what might be causing this one?  Or atleast what
additional debug information someone might need?

I'm still testing the slurm integration, which seems to work fine so
far.  However, i just upgraded another cluster to openmpi-1.5 and
slurm 2.1.15 but this machine has no infiniband

if i salloc the nodes and mpirun the command it seems to run and complete
fine
however if i srun the command i get

[btl_tcp_endpoint:486] mca_btl_tcp_endpoint_recv_connect_ack received
unexpected prcoess identifier

the job does not seem to run, but exhibits two behaviors
running a single process per node the job runs and does not present
the error (srun -N40 --ntasks-per-node=1)
running multiple processes per node, the job spits out the error but
does not run (srun -n40 --ntasks-per-node=8)

I copied the configs from the other machine, so (i think) everything
should be configured correctly (but i can't rule it out)

I saw (and reported) a similar error to above with the 1.4-dev branch
(see mailing list) and slurm, I can't say whether they're related or
not though

Yo Ralph --

I see this was committed
https://svn.open-mpi.org/trac/ompi/changeset/24197.  Do you want to add a
blurb in README about it, and/or have this executable compiled as part of
the PSM MTL and then installed into $bindir (maybe named ompi-psm-keygen)?

Right now, it's only compiled as part of "make check" and not installed,
right?

Run the program only once - it can be in the prolog of the job if you
like. The output value needs to be in the env of every rank.

You can reuse the value as many times as you like - it doesn't have to
be unique for each job. There is nothing magic about the value itself.

How early does this need to run? Can I run it as part of a task
prolog, or does it need to be the shell env for each rank?  And does
it need to run on one node or all the nodes in the job?

Well, I couldn't do it as a patch - proved too complicated as the psm
system looks for the value early in the boot procedure.

What I can do is give you the attached key generator program. It
outputs the envar required to run your program. So if you run the attached
program and then export the output into your environment, you should be
okay. Looks like this:

$ ./psm_keygen

OMPI_MCA_orte_precondition_transports=0099b3eaa2c1547e-afb287789133a954
$

You compile the program with the usual mpicc.

Let me know if this solves the problem (or not).

Ah, yes - that is going to be a problem. The PSM key gets generated
by mpirun as it is shared info - i.e., every proc has to get the same value.

I can create a patch that will do this for the srun direct-launch
scenario, if you want to try it. Would be later today, though.

Well maybe not horray, yet.  I might have jumped the gun a bit,
it's
looking like srun works in general, but perhaps not with PSM

With PSM i get this error, (at least now i know what i changed)

Error obtaining unique transport key from ORTE
(orte_precondition_transports not present in the environment)
PML add procs failed
--> Returned "Error" (-1) instead of "Success" (0)

Turn off PSM and srun works fine

Yes that's true, error messages help.  I was hoping there was
some
documentation to see what i've done wrong.  I can't easily cut
and
paste errors from my cluster.

Here's a snippet (hand typed) of the error message, but it does
look
like a rank communications error

ORTE_ERROR_LOG: A message is attempting to be sent to a process
whose
contact information is unknown in file rml_oob_send.c at line
145.
*** MPI_INIT failure message (snipped) ***
orte_grpcomm_modex failed
--> Returned "A messages is attempting to be sent to a process
whose
contact information us uknown" (-117) instead of "Success" (0)

This msg repeats for each rank, an ultimately hangs the srun
which i
have to Ctrl-C and terminate

I have mpiports defined in my slurm config and running srun
with
-resv-ports does show the SLURM_RESV_PORTS environment variable
getting parts to the shell

It would really help if you included the error message.
Otherwise, all I can do is guess, which wastes both of our time :-(

My best guess is that the port reservation didn't get passed
down to the MPI procs properly - but that's just a guess.

Can anyone point me towards the most recent documentation for
using
srun and openmpi?

I followed what i found on the web with enabling the MpiPorts
config
in slurm and using the --resv-ports switch, but I'm getting
an error
from openmpi during setup.

I'm using Slurm 2.1.15 and Openmpi 1.5 w/PSM

I'm sure I'm missing a step.

Thanks
