Hi there,


Using slurm v24.11.0 together with openMPI 5.0.7 built with openpmix v5.0.6 i am facing a systematical crash at process wiring-up phase when launching standard MPI job (OSU benchmarks ) on our new AMD compute nodes
( amd-epyc 9654, 192 phys. cores +HT ) running Rocky Linux 9.4 OS

The typical error reads:

slurmstepd: error:  mpi/pmix_v5: pmixp_p2p_send: ccexe0094 [4]: pmixp_utils.c:469: send failed, rc=1001, exceeded the retry limit
slurmstepd: error:  mpi/pmix_v5: _slurm_send: ccexe0094 [4]: pmixp_server.c:1581: Cannot send message to /var/spool/slurmd/stepd.slurm.pmix.656.0, size = 46979, hostlist:
(null)
srun: error: Node failure on ccexe0091

after such a error as you can see the node move to state down
It looks like the slurmstep pmix_server can not use the local socket at var/spool/slurmd/stepd.slurm.pmix.job_id.0 for inter-node communication .

  • On one AMD node ( same SLURM version, same cluster setup ) wiring up works smoothly even at core satuation (192 cores used)
  • On Intel node (intel,xeon,gold6248r, 48 cores ) wiring-up works even with multiple node without any problem
  • When the problematic AMD nodes are setup as dynamic node

    the wiring-up phase with multiple nodes works perfectly, without any issue

Has anybody experienced this kind of problem?
Any idea what could be the reason for that?


I also add that when the problematic AMD nodes are setup as dynamic node
the wiring-up phase with multiple nodes works perfectly, without any issue


Cheers,

Denis
