Hi Syed

This really sounds as a problem specific to Rocks Clusters,
not an issue with Open MPI.
A confusion related to mount points, and soft links used by Rocks.

I haven't used Rocks Clusters in a while,
and I don't remember the details anymore, so please take my
suggestions with a grain of salt, and check them out
before committing to them

Which --prefix did you use when you configured Open MPI?
My suggestion is that you don't use "/export/apps" as a prefix
(and this goes to any application that you install).
but instead use a /share/apps subdirectory, something like:

--prefix=/share/apps/openmpi-1.8.4_gcc-4.9.2

This is because /export/apps is just a mount point on the
frontend/head node, whereas /share/apps is a mount point
across all nodes in the cluster (and, IIRR, a soft link on the
head node).

My recollection is that the Rocks documentation was obscure
about this, not making clear the difference between
/export/apps and /share/apps.

Issuing the Rocks commands:
"tentakel 'ls -d /export/apps'"
"tentakel 'ls -d /share/apps'"
may show something useful.

I hope this helps,
Gus Correa

ORTE was unable to reliably start one or more daemons.

I am using Environment modules to load OpenMPI 1.8.4 and PATH and
LD_LIBRARY_PATH points to same openmpi on nodes

[pmdtest@hpc bin]$ which mpirun
/share/apps/openmpi-1.8.4_gcc-4.9.2/bin/mpirun
[pmdtest@hpc bin]$ ssh compute-0-0

[pmdtest@compute-0-0 ~]$ which mpirun
/share/apps/openmpi-1.8.4_gcc-4.9.2/bin/mpirun

The only this I notice important is that in the error it is referring to
     /export/apps/openmpi-1.8.4_gcc-4.9.2/share/openmpi/help-opal-runtime.txt:

While it should have shown
/share/apps/openmpi-1.8.4_gcc-4.9.2/share/openmpi/help-opal-runtime.txt:
which is the path compute nodes see.

Please help!
Ahsan
