I'm not sure what you mean by that statement. The orted passes its environment to its children; so whatever the slurm stepd set in the environment for the orted, the children should be getting. Clearly, something is different here -- maybe we do have a bug -- but as you stated below, why does it work for me? Is SLURM 2.2.x the difference? I don't know. > Now, the question still is, why does this work for Jeff? :) Is there a way > to get orted out of the way so the sleep processes are launched directly by > srun? Yes; see Ralph's prior mail about direct srun support in Open MPI 1.5.x. You lose some functionality / features that way, though. -- Jeff Squyres jsquy...@cisco.com For corporate legal information go to: http://www.cisco.com/web/about/doing_business/legal/cri/
