The package MUMPS has an option to use metis in its ordering process which
can be turned on as indicated while using MUMPS. Most preconditioners that
PETSc can use do not use metis for any purpose hence there is no option to turn
on its use. For what purpose do you wish to use metis? Partitioning, ordering,
?
