I am seeing similar issues on our slurm clusters. We are looking into the issue.

Any ideas on what might be causing this one?  Or atleast what
additional debug information someone might need?

I'm still testing the slurm integration, which seems to work fine so
far.  However, i just upgraded another cluster to openmpi-1.5 and
slurm 2.1.15 but this machine has no infiniband

if i salloc the nodes and mpirun the command it seems to run and complete fine
however if i srun the command i get

[btl_tcp_endpoint:486] mca_btl_tcp_endpoint_recv_connect_ack received
unexpected prcoess identifier

the job does not seem to run, but exhibits two behaviors
running a single process per node the job runs and does not present
the error (srun -N40 --ntasks-per-node=1)
running multiple processes per node, the job spits out the error but
does not run (srun -n40 --ntasks-per-node=8)

I copied the configs from the other machine, so (i think) everything
should be configured correctly (but i can't rule it out)

I saw (and reported) a similar error to above with the 1.4-dev branch
(see mailing list) and slurm, I can't say whether they're related or
not though

I see this was committed https://svn.open-mpi.org/trac/ompi/changeset/24197.  
Do you want to add a blurb in README about it, and/or have this executable 
compiled as part of the PSM MTL and then installed into $bindir (maybe named 
ompi-psm-keygen)?

Right now, it's only compiled as part of "make check" and not installed, right?

Run the program only once - it can be in the prolog of the job if you like. The 
output value needs to be in the env of every rank.

You can reuse the value as many times as you like - it doesn't have to be 
unique for each job. There is nothing magic about the value itself.

How early does this need to run? Can I run it as part of a task
prolog, or does it need to be the shell env for each rank?  And does
it need to run on one node or all the nodes in the job?

Well, I couldn't do it as a patch - proved too complicated as the psm system 
looks for the value early in the boot procedure.

What I can do is give you the attached key generator program. It outputs the 
envar required to run your program. So if you run the attached program and then 
export the output into your environment, you should be okay. Looks like this:

$ ./psm_keygen
OMPI_MCA_orte_precondition_transports=0099b3eaa2c1547e-afb287789133a954
$

You compile the program with the usual mpicc.

Let me know if this solves the problem (or not).

Sure, i'll give it a go

Ah, yes - that is going to be a problem. The PSM key gets generated by mpirun 
as it is shared info - i.e., every proc has to get the same value.

I can create a patch that will do this for the srun direct-launch scenario, if 
you want to try it. Would be later today, though.

Well maybe not horray, yet.  I might have jumped the gun a bit, it's
looking like srun works in general, but perhaps not with PSM

With PSM i get this error, (at least now i know what i changed)

Error obtaining unique transport key from ORTE
(orte_precondition_transports not present in the environment)
PML add procs failed
--> Returned "Error" (-1) instead of "Success" (0)

Turn off PSM and srun works fine

I think i take it all back.  I just tried it again and it seems to
work now.  I'm not sure what I changed (between my first and this
msg), but it does appear to work now.

Yes that's true, error messages help.  I was hoping there was some
documentation to see what i've done wrong.  I can't easily cut and
paste errors from my cluster.

Here's a snippet (hand typed) of the error message, but it does look
like a rank communications error

ORTE_ERROR_LOG: A message is attempting to be sent to a process whose
contact information is unknown in file rml_oob_send.c at line 145.
*** MPI_INIT failure message (snipped) ***
orte_grpcomm_modex failed
--> Returned "A messages is attempting to be sent to a process whose
contact information us uknown" (-117) instead of "Success" (0)

This msg repeats for each rank, an ultimately hangs the srun which i
have to Ctrl-C and terminate

I have mpiports defined in my slurm config and running srun with
-resv-ports does show the SLURM_RESV_PORTS environment variable
getting parts to the shell

I'm not sure there is any documentation yet - not much clamor for it. :-/

It would really help if you included the error message. Otherwise, all I can do 
is guess, which wastes both of our time :-(

My best guess is that the port reservation didn't get passed down to the MPI 
procs properly - but that's just a guess.

Can anyone point me towards the most recent documentation for using
srun and openmpi?

I followed what i found on the web with enabling the MpiPorts config
in slurm and using the --resv-ports switch, but I'm getting an error
from openmpi during setup.

I'm using Slurm 2.1.15 and Openmpi 1.5 w/PSM

I'm sure I'm missing a step.

Thanks
