[LU-676] Select machinefile option for mpirun via a variable

• Type: Bug
• Resolution: Fixed
• Priority: Minor
• Fix Version/s: Lustre 2.4.0, Lustre 2.1.5, Lustre 1.8.9
• Affects Version/s: Lustre 1.8.6
• Environment: 1.8.6 servers running centos5.6 and 1.8.6 clients running sles11sp1.
• Severity: 3
• Assignee: Zhenyu Xu
• Reporter: Jay Lan (Inactive)

Description

Not all MPI implementations pass the host file to mpirun via the same
option. Common options are -machinefile and -hostfile.

This problem can be resolved by using a variable MACHINEFILE_OPTION
instead. A default value is assigned if the variable not defined.

Ah, we have updated our Lustre filesystems to 2.1.2/2.1.3.
Can we try to land the patch to b2_1 and master instead?

[Jay Lan (Inactive)]

Can we land the patch and close the ticket?

You have attached this patch as an attachment rather than uploading to gerrit as you did in LU654. Does this mean that you explicitly do not want this patch landed into the tree as-is?
