Hi,

FCoE is for storage, Ethernet is for the network.

I assume you can ssh into your nodes, which means you have a TCP/IP, and it is up and running.

i do not know the details of Cisco hardware, but you might be able to use usnic (native btl or via libfabric) instead of the plain TCP/IP network.


at first, you can build Open MPI, and run a job on two nodes with one task per node.

in your script, you can

mpirun --mca btl_base_verbose 100 --mca pml_base_verbose 100 ...

this will tell you which network is used.


Cheers,


Gilles

Hola,

I'm new to MPI and OpenMPI. Relatively new to HPC as well.

I've just installed a SLURM cluster and added OpenMPI for the users to take advantage of.

I'm just discovering that I have missed a vital part - the networking.

I'm looking over the networking options and from what I can tell we only have (at the moment) Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE).

Is this a network technology that's supported by OpenMPI?

(system is running Centos 7, on Cisco M Series hardware)

Please excuse me if I have terms wrong or am missing knowledge. Am new to this.

cheers
Lachlan
