[LU-654] Select machinefile option for mpirun via a variable.

• Status: Resolved
• Project: Lustre
• Affects Version/s: Lustre 1.8.6
• Type: Bug
• Priority: Minor
• Reporter: Jay Lan (Inactive)
• Assignee: Robert Read (Inactive)
• Resolution: Incomplete

Environment

1.8.6 servers running centos5.6 and 1.8.6 clients running sles11sp1.

• Severity: 3

Description

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

The attached patch showed we replaced "-machinefile" with $MACHINEFILE_OPTION. It does not need to be named that way. Just a meaning variable will be fine. Also, our patch did not give a default value should MACHINEFILE_OPTION not defined. Maybe cfg/local.sh a good place?

It would be really helpful if you could upload patches into gerrit - http://wiki.whamcloud.com/display/PUB/Submitting+Changes

Peter,

Can I kill this bug report? I like to remove the line:
Signed-off-by: Jason Rappleye <[e-mail]>

After reading implication of Signed-off-by in gerrit documentation, I decided
I should not have included Jason here.

[Peter Jones]

Do you mean that you would like to cancel the patch from gerrit or to close this ticket or both?

[Jay Lan (Inactive)]

The patch is in gira, but I have not submitted it to gerrit.
I like to close this ticket and submit a new one since
the "Signed-off-by Jason" clause is in the description.

I am learning your system.

Jay

[Peter Jones]

ok Jay. I have closed the ticket
