Sorry if I confused you. In fact, I want to use grid adaptively using block-based AMR technique. By that, I mean I will have the same stencil for all points inside the block. For better functionality of AMR and its parallelization, it is needed to know the location of points for both working vectors and also vectors obtained from DMPlex. That’s why I think I need to specify the AMR block across processors.

I am going to use a block-based amr. I think I need to know exactly the mesh distribution of blocks across different processors for implementation of amr. And as a general question, can we set block size of vector on each rank? I don't understand what you mean by AMR in this context exactly. And I'm not sure what you mean by blocks size. Block size is the number of dof per vertex (eg, 3) and it is a constant for a vector.

Is it possible to set the distribution across processors manually. I mean, how can I set the share of dm on each rank (local)? You could make a Shell partitioner and tell it the entire partition: https://www.mcs.anl.gov/petsc/petsc-master/docs/manualpages/DMPLEX/PetscPartitionerShellSetPartition.html However, I would be surprised if you could do this. It is likely that you just want to mess with the weights in ParMetis.
