[mpich-discuss] genvlist & map is not working in config file

[Jayesh Krishna]

Hi,
 Did you try adding quotes ("d:\mpi\")?

Jayesh

Hi Jayesh, 

I found the reason behind this strange behavior. 

The config file 

-host localhost -genvlist CNTRL_MPI_DIR -p 8676 -wdir <Working DIR> -path <pathDIR> test.exe -mpion 

won't work if CNTRL_MPI_DIR is set with trailing backslash i.e. CNTRL_MPI_DIR=D:\MPI\. 
It works perfectly fine if it is set CNTRL_MPI_DIR=D:\MPI. 

Similarly, -map Y:\\machine-1\abhishek\ won't work but -map Y:\\machine-1\abhishek works. 

Now, the question is : Is this known behavior or a bug ? 

Thanks, 
Abhishek

Hi, 
Try this config file and see whether the environment variable is set in the output. 

# Config file to test genvlist 
-genvlist CNTRL_MPI_DIR -n 1 cmd /c set

Hi, 
That is strange. It works fine on my Win XP machine. 
Which version of MPICH2 are you using ? What is the version of windows that you are using ? Also I noticed that in the failure case you are launching test.exe and in the successful case you are launching product.exe (Can you try the same executable for all your tests ?).

Hi, 

genvlist is working on command line. Also command "set C" on shell shows the value of CNTRL_MPI_DIR & CNTRL_MPI_OUT. 

BTW, I have not tried -map command without config file. 

Thanks, 
Abhishek.

Hi, 
Does it work when you enter the command in the command line (without a config file) ? Have you set the environment variable CNTRL_MPI_DIR (Type "set" at the command prompt to see the list of environment variables set) in the shell environment used to launch the job ?

Hi Jayesh, 

This is my config file. 

In this sample MPICH2 does not launch the test.exe. 

-host localhost -genvlist CNTRL_MPI_DIR,CNTRL_MPI_OUT -p 8676 -wdir <Working DIR> -path <pathDIR> test.exe -mpion -controller 
-host localhost -p 8676 -wdir <Working DIR> -path <pathDIR1> test.exe -mpion -worker 
-host localhost -p 8676 -wdir <Working DIR> -path <pathDIR2> test.exe -mpion -worker 

However this is working : 

-host localhost -env CNTRL_MPI_DIR d:\mpi -p 8676 -wdir <Working DIR> -path <pathDIR> product.exe -mpion -controller 
-host localhost -p 8676 -wdir <Working DIR> -path <pathDIR1> product.exe -mpion -worker 
-host localhost -p 8676 -wdir <Working DIR> -path <pathDIR2> product.exe -mpion -worker 

In this sample mapping is not done on all the nodes. The workaround : I have to map network drive first manually and then use -mapall option on controller. 

-host localhost -map z:\\abhishekp-xp\mpi\ -p 8676 -wdir <Working DIR> -path <pathDIR> test.exe -mpion -controller 
-host localhost -p 8676 -wdir <Working DIR> -path <pathDIR1> test.exe -mpion -worker 
-host localhost -p 8676 -wdir <Working DIR> -path <pathDIR2> test.exe -mpion -worker 

Am I missing something in config file. 

Thanks, 
Abhishek

Hi, 

On windows, I tried to use genvlist and map in mpi config file. ( mpiexec.exe -configfile <config file>). 
But it is not working. Am I missing something ? 

However -env and -mapall options are working in configfile. Also, I always have to set environment variables in configfile. Is there a way to just use the environment variables once it has been set on command line or in my-computer properties ? 

Thanks, 
Abhishek
