[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?

Can we land the patch and close the ticket?
