[slurm-users] Problems calling mpirun in OpenMPI-3.1.6 + slurm and OpenMPI-4.0.3+slurm environments

[Ravi Reddy Manumachu]

Dear Slurm Users,

I am facing issues with the following combinations of OpenMPI and SLURM. I
was wondering if you have faced something similar and can help me.

OpenMPI-3.1.6 and slurm 19.05.5
OpenMPI-4.0.3 and slurm 19.05.5

I have the OpenMPI packages configured with "--with-slurm" option and
installed.






*  Configure command line:
'--prefix=/home/manumachu/openmpi-4.0.3/OPENMPI_INSTALL' '--with-slurm'
             MCA ess: slurm (MCA v2.1.0, API v3.0.0, Component v4.0.3)
           MCA plm: slurm (MCA v2.1.0, API v2.0.0, Component v4.0.3)
         MCA ras: slurm (MCA v2.1.0, API v2.0.0, Component v4.0.3)
    MCA schizo: slurm (MCA v2.1.0, API v1.0.0, Component v4.0.3)*
I am executing the sbatch script shown below:


*#!/bin/bash#SBATCH --account=xxxxx*


*#SBATCH --job-name=ompi4#SBATCH --output=ompi4.out#SBATCH
--error=ompi4.err*





*#SBATCH --ntasks-per-node=1#SBATCH --time=00:30:00export
PATH=/scratch/manumachu/openmpi-4.0.3/OPENMPI_INSTALL/bin:$PATHexport
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/scratch/manumachu/openmpi-4.0.3/OPENMPI_INSTALL/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATHmpirun
-np 4 ./bcast_timing -t 1*
No matter what option I give to mpirun, I get the following error:
*mpirun: Error: unknown option "-np"*

I have used mpiexec also but received the same errors.

To summarize, I am not able to call mpirun from a SLURM script. I can use
srun but I have no idea how to pass MCA parameters I usually give to mpirun
such as, "*--map-by ppr:1:socket -mca pml ob1 -mca btl tcp,self -mca
coll_tuned_use_dynamic_rules 1*".

Thank you for your help.
