Hi,
I'm trying to get openmpi working over openib partitions. On this cluster, the partition number is 0x109. The ib interfaces are pingable over the appropriate ib0.8109 interface: d2:/opt/openmpi-ib # ifconfig ib0.8109 ib0.8109 Link encap:UNSPEC HWaddr 80-00-00-4A-FE-80-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00 inet addr:10.21.48.2 Bcast:10.21.255.255 Mask:255.255.0.0 inet6 addr: fe80::202:c902:26:ca01/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:65520 Metric:1 RX packets:16811 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:15848 errors:0 dropped:1 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:256 RX bytes:102229428 (97.4 Mb) TX bytes:102324172 (97.5 Mb) I have tried the following: /opt/openmpi-ib/1.2.6/bin/mpirun -np 2 -machinefile machinefile -mca btl openib,self -mca btl_openib_max_btls 1 -mca btl_openib_ib_pkey_val 0x8109 -mca btl_openib_ib_pkey_ix 1 /cluster/pallas/x86_64-ib/IMB-MPI1 but I just get a RETRY EXCEEDED ERROR. Is there a MCA parameter I am missing? I was successful using tcp only: /opt/openmpi-ib/1.2.6/bin/mpirun -np 2 -machinefile machinefile -mca btl tcp,self -mca btl_openib_max_btls 1 -mca btl_openib_ib_pkey_val 0x8109 /cluster/pallas/x86_64-ib/IMB-MPI1 Thanks, Matt Burgess
