Hello all. Im started some test with Openmpi 4.0.1. I have two machines,
one local, the other remote. I have used ssh connection. Some basic test
(hello.c script) runs ok local and remote with mpirun. But I need to run a
script without mpirun and generate with spawn some processes. Here some
examples that what I get.
My hostfile:
cat hostfile
localhost slots=4
slave1 slots=4
If I set this:
MPI_Info_set( info, "add-hostfile", "hostfile" );
MPI_Info_set( info, "npernode", "3" );
And I run 6 processes (i.e. MPI_Comm_spawn() receives 6 procceses to run):
./dyamic.o
Its Runs Ok: 4 procceses local and 3 remote
Now, If I set (without add-hostfile and npernode):
MPI_Info_set( info, "add-host", "slave1,slave1,slave1,slave1" );
And I run 4 processes... its hangs, but I can see with Top one running
processes on local and 4 on remote (slave1), that I think Its ok however.
After a while It throws this:
“A request has timed out and will therefore fail:
Operation: LOOKUP: orted/pmix/pmix_server_pub.c:345
Your job may terminate as a result of this problem. You may want to
adjust the MCA parameter pmix_server_max_wait and try again. If this
occurred during a connect/accept operation, you can adjust that time
using the pmix_base_exchange_timeout parameter.

I watch with Top now and there are not any processes running.
I really need this type of allocation. Any help It will be very, very
appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
