Hi,

We're trying to track down some curious behavior and decided to take a step
back and check a base assumption.

When running within a managed environment (job allocation):

    Q: Should you be able to use `--hostfile` or `--host` options to
       operate on a subset of the resources in the allocation?
       (Example: within 4 node SLURM allocation, run on just 2 nodes in
        allocation.)

    Q: Additionally, should this be the same when launching the DVM in
       order to run on a subset of resources using subsequent
       'mpirun --hnp ...' commands?
       (Only 'orte-dvm' would need to have `--hostfile` or `--host` args.)

There are a variety of interactions with ess/ras/rmaps and the resource
manager, but the thought was that you "should" be able to use a hostfile to
operate on a subset of the allocation. Is that a flawed assumption?

Thanks,
--tjn
