You have several options: 1. If you did a default Open MPI install, you can simply rm the "mca_btl_openib.so" plugin that was installed under $prefix/lib/openmpi. Open MPI then won't know that that plugin exists, and it won't try to use OpenFabrics-based devices. 2. You can set a system-wide MCA parameter to ignore the openib BTL. That way, you don't have to type it on the mpirun command line every time. 3. You can rebuild Open MPI with the --without-verbs configure command line switch. This will ultimately have the same effect as #1 (i.e., the openib plugin won't be in the installation tree). As for using your 10G, I assume you mean over TCP sockets, right? If so, you can use --mca btl_tcp_if_include <NAME_OF_10G_DEVICE> or <CIDR_OF_10G_NETWORK>. E.g.: mpirun --mca btl_tcp_if_include eth1 ... mpirun --mca btl_tcp_if_include 10.20.30.0/24 ... -- Jeff Squyres jsquy...@cisco.com For corporate legal information go to: http://www.cisco.com/web/about/doing_business/legal/cri/
