Glite/31/mpi

Prepare

Configuration is necessary on both the CEs (gLite) and WNs in order to support and advertise MPI correctly (see Site configuration for MPI for details). This is performed by the gLite YAIM module glite-yaim-mpi which should be run on both the CE and WNs.


Install

The following packages to install:

  • glite-MPI_utils

Configure

  1. Add the following to the site-info.de of the CE and WNs. see YaimConfig for detailed information.
  2. export set of environment variables to avoid INFO: No MPI flavours enabled.
  3. execute yaim command to configure

WARNING: in /etc/hosts you have to set wn with full hostname, otherwise yaim wont't find hostname -f:hostname wn.fzk.de and the yaim will abort the configuration!!!

After yaim configuration has finished edit /etc/hosts again with wn older hostname, other wise the node will be seen twice as different node wn and wn.fzk.de while reserving nodes for an MPI job.!!!
