Hi Michael

indeed I'm a little bit lost with all these parameters in OpenMPI,
mainly because for years it works just fine out of the box in all my
deployments on various architectures, interconnects and linux flavor.
Some weeks ago I deploy OpenMPI4.0.5 in Centos8 with gcc10, slurm and
UCX on an AMD epyc2 cluster with connectX6, and it just works fine.  It
is the first time I've such trouble to deploy this library.

If you have my mail posted  the 25/01/2021 in this discussion at 18h54
(may be Paris TZ) there is a small test case attached that show the
problem. Did you got it or did the list strip these attachments ? I can
provide it again.

Many thanks

Patrick
