Spectrum MPI

Scenarios

This section describes how to run Spectrum MPI (version 10.01.01 is used as an example) in a BMS cluster.

Prerequisites

Password-free login has been configured between BMSs in the cluster.
Spectrum MPI has been installed on all BMSs in the cluster.

Procedure

Disable the firewall.
1. Log in to a BMS in the cluster.
2. Run the following command to disable the BMS firewall:
  # service firewalld stop
  
  # iptables -F
3. Run the following command to check whether the firewall has been disabled:
  # service firewalld status
  
  Figure 1 Disabled firewall
4. Log in to all other BMSs in the cluster and repeat 1.b to 1.c to disable firewalls on all BMSs.
Modify the configuration file.
1. Log in to a BMS in the cluster.
2. Run the following command to obtain the BMS hostname:
  $ hostname
  
  Figure 2 Viewing the BMS hostname
3. Log in to all other BMSs in the cluster and repeat 1.b to 2.b to obtain hostnames of all BMSs.
4. Log in to a BMS in the cluster.
5. Run the following command to add the hosts configuration file:
  # vi /etc/hosts
  
  Add the private network IP addresses and hostnames of all BMSs in the cluster. For example, run the following commands:
  
  192.168.0.1 bms-0004
  
  192.168.0.2 bms-0005
  
  ...
6. Run the following command to add the hostfile file:
  $vi hostfile
  
  Add hostnames of all BMSs in the cluster, for example:
  
  bms-0004
  
  bms-0005
  
  ...
7. Log in to other BMSs in the cluster and repeat 2.e to 2.f.
Run the following command on a BMS to run the executable file through Spectrum MPI:
$ mpirun -np 2 -pernode --hostfile hostfile /home/rhel/hello

Figure 3 Successful execution of Spectrum MPI in the BMS cluster

Specify the path of hostfile when running it. The path of the executable file hello must be absolute. All executable files in the cluster must be in the same directory.
