That's correct. I have prefixed them with OMPI_MCA_ when I defined them in my environment. Despite that I still see some of these files being created under the default directory /tmp which is different from what I had set.

Open MPI looks for this prefix to identify which parameters are intended for it specifically. -- Josh On May 12, 2010, at 11:09 PM, <ananda.mu...@wipro.com> <ananda.mu...@wipro.com <mailto:ananda.mu...@wipro.com%20%20> > wrote: > Ralph > > Defining these parameters in my environment also did not resolve the > problem.
