Hi,

The option --enable-ft-thread doesn't exist. By default is enable.
The options --with-blcr and --with-blcr-libdir have to point to your BLCR installation dir.
Before compiling openmpi, you have to load the blcr modules.

When I installed BLCR, my installation dir was in a different directory.

Regards,
Sergio

One more thing:
when you installed BLCR did you install it in the same directory with the sources or in a different one? And when you point to the blcr directory and the blcr library directory in openmpi configure command, do you point to the installation or to the sources directory?

Regards,
Andreea

Hi again.

I have installed BLCR, passed all the tests, and now I tried to install OpenMPI. This is the configuration call:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
./configure --prefix=/home/andreea/MPIrelated/OpenMPI/openmpi_1.3.3/ --enable-ft-thread --with-ft=cr --enable-mpi-threads --with-blcr=/home/andreea/MPIrelated/BLCR/blcr-0.8.2/builddir/ --with-blcr-libdir=/home/andreea/MPIrelated/BLCR/blcr-0.8.2/builddir/lib
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the output I got, among others, this warnings:

configure: WARNING: no usable BFD found; using nm-output file for addr./symbol mapping
configure: WARNING: Unrecognized options: --enable-ft-thread, --with-ft, --enable-mpi-threads, --with-blcr, --with-blcr-libdir, --enable-ltdl-convenience
configure: WARNING: Unrecognized options: --enable-ft-thread, --with-ft, --enable-mpi-threads, --with-blcr, --with-blcr-libdir, --enable-ltdl-convenience

Any ideas?
Thanks,
Andreea

Hi Andreea,

I compiled an installation of openmpi with checkpoint/restart support and it is working fine and I'm trying to integrate it with SGE.
Did you set the right option compiling openMPI?
Did you installed BLCR before?

I used these options:

./configure --prefix=/opt/cesga/openmpi-1.3.3 --with-ft=cr --enable-mpi-threads --with-blcr=/opt/cesga/blcr-0.8.2 --with-blcr-libdir=/opt/cesga/blcr-0.8.2/lib -with-sge CC=icc CXX=icpc F77=ifort FC=ifort

Regards,
Sergio

Hi,

I'm a newbie, and I want to test the checkpoint/restart mechanism included in OpenMPI v 1.3.3. I have tried to search for some documentation about how to install the OpenMPI implementation in order to support checkpoint/restart, and I found lots of links to

https://svn.open-mpi.org/trac/ompi/wiki/ProcessFT_CR
which seems not to work. Can you please advise me what to read or what steps to follow in order to have everything working?

I already installed OpenMPI but checkpoint/restart doesn't work. During installation, in installation log I found teh following lines (don't know if it's my software configuration fault or the way I installed OpenMPI):
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--- MCA component pml:crcpw (m4 configuration macro)
checking for MCA component pml:crcpw compile mode... dso
checking if MCA component pml:crcpw can compile... no

+++ Configuring MCA framework crcp

--- MCA component crcp:bkmrk (m4 configuration macro)

checking if MCA component crcp:bkmrk can compile... no
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks,
Andreea
