Hello,

I have achieved the checkpoint of an easy program without SGE. Now, I'm trying to do the integration openmpi+sge but I have some problems... When I try to do checkpoint of the mpirun PID, I got an error similar to the error gotten when the PID doesn't exit. The example below.

I do not have any experience with the SGE environment, so I suspect that there may something 'special' about the environment that is tripping up the ompi-checkpoint tool.

First of all, what version of Open MPI are you using?

Somethings to check:
 - Does 'ompi-ps' work when your application is running?
- Is there an /tmp/openmpi-sessions-* directory on the node where mpirun is currently running? This directory contains information on how to connect to the mpirun process from an external tool, if it's missing then this could be the cause of the problem.


Any ideas?
Somebody have a script to do it automatic with SGE?. For example I have one to do checkpoint each X seconds with BLCR and non-mpi jobs. It is launched by SGE if you have configured the queue and the ckpt environment.

I do not know of any integration of the Open MPI checkpointing work with SGE at the moment.

As far as time triggered checkpointing, I have a feature ticket open about this:
  https://svn.open-mpi.org/trac/ompi/ticket/1961

It is not available yet, but in the works.



Is it possible choose the name of the ckpt folder when you do the ompi-checkpoint? I can't find the option to do it.

Not at this time. Though I could see it as a useful feature, and shouldn't be too hard to implement. I filed a ticket if you want to follow the progress:
  https://svn.open-mpi.org/trac/ompi/ticket/2098
