-*-ALL:unknown-*-
# This is invoked when we have no idea what happened

%1: Oops -- some unknown error happened here. Not really sure what
happened to cause this.
This might be helpful -- here's what Unix thinks the error is:
Unix errno: %errno
%perror
-*-ALL:system-call-fail-*-
# Invoked when some system call fails. This is not good!
# %1 = name of system call that failed
LAM encountered an error when invoking the system call "%1".
This is an unexpected error; we don't have much additional information
here. Perhaps this Unix error message will help:
Unix errno: %errno
%perror
-*-ALL:lib-call-fail-*-
# Invoked when some system call fails. This is not good!
# %1 = name of system call that failed
LAM encountered an error when invoking the library call "%1".
This is an unexpected error; we don't have much additional information
here. Perhaps this Unix error message will help:
Unix errno: %errno
%perror
-*-ALL:deny-root-*-
# This message is displayed when any LAM program is invoked by root.
# No parameters are sent.
It is a Very Bad Idea to run this program as root.
LAM was designed to be run by individual users; it was *not* designed
to be run as a root-level service where multiple users use the same
LAM daemons in a client-server fashion.
Especially with today's propensity for hackers to scan for root-owned
network daemons, it could be tragic to run this program as root.
While LAM is known to be quite stable, and LAM does not leave network
sockets open for random connections after the initial setup, several
factors should strike fear into system administrator's hearts if LAM
were to be constantly running for all users to utilize:
1. LAM leaves a Unix domain socket open on each machine in the
/tmp directory. So if someone breaks into root on one
machine, they effectively have root on all machines that
are connected via LAM.
2. Indeed, there must have been a .rhosts (or some other trust
mechanism) for root which must have allowed you to run LAM
on remote nodes. Depending on your local setup, this may
not be safe.
3. LAM has never been checked for buffer overflows and other
malicious input types of errors. We don't *think* that
there are any buffer-overflow types of situations in LAM,
we've never checked explicitly (hence, per Mr. Murphy,
there are certainly some hiding somewhere).
4. LAM programs are not audited or tracked in any way. This
could present a sneaky way to execute binaries without log
trails (especially as root).
Hence, it's a Very Bad Idea to run LAM as root. Please login as a
different user and run LAM again.
-*-ALL:root-warning-*-
# This message is displayed when recon is invoked by root.
# No parameters are sent.
Warning: You are invoking this program as root. All other LAM executables
are not allowed to be run as root for security reasons. The use of recon
is allowed because of the common need for system administrators to validate
a LAM installation.
-*-ALL:close-file-*-
# Invoked by anyone when the user-provided host file could not be
# closed properly.
# %1 = name of the invoking entity
# %2 = name of the host file
%1 could not close the file "%2" for the following reason:
Unix errno: %errno
%perror
-*-ALL:open-file-*-
# Invoked by anyone when the user-provided host file could not be opened
# %1 = name of the invoking entity
# %2 = name of the host file
%1 could not open the file "%2" for the following reason:
Unix errno: %errno
%perror
Things to check:
- ensure that the file exists
try "ls -l %2"
- ensure that you have read permissions on the file
try "cat %2"
-*-ALL:abnormal-exit-*-
# Invoked when a process unexpectedly returns a nonzero exit status
# No parameters are passed
One of the processes started has exited with a nonzero exit code.
This typically indicates that the process finished in error.
Hopefully, this error is displayed above.
-*-ALL:uninitialized-*-
# This message is displayed when some program invokes an MPI function
# (not including MPI_Initialized) before invoking MPI_Init
# %1 is the hostname
# %2 is the PID
It seems that at least one rank invoked some MPI function before
invoking MPI_INIT. The only information that I can give is that it
was PID %2 on host %1.
-*-ALL:already-finalized-*-
# This message is displayed when some program invokes an MPI function
# (not including MPI_Initialized) after invoking MPI_Finalize
# %1 is the hostname
# %2 is the PID
# %3 the rank in MPI_COMM_WORLD
It seems that at least one rank invoked some MPI function after
invoking MPI_FINALIZE. The only information that I can give is that
it was PID %2 on host %1.
It was probably rank %3 on MPI_COMM_WORLD, but I can't say that for
sure...
-*-ALL:init-after-finalize-*-
# This message is displayed when some program invokes MPI_INIT
# after invoking MPI_FINALIZE.
# %1 is the hostname
# %2 is the PID
# %3 is the rank in MPI_COMM_WORLD
It seems that at least one rank invoked MPI_INIT after invoking
MPI_FINALIZE. MPI can not be re-initialized after MPI_FINALIZE has
been called. The process was PID %2 on host %1.
It was probably rank %3 on MPI_COMM_WORLD, but I can't say that for
sure...
-*-ALL:unable-rmdir-*-
# This message is displayed if there is some error while trying to remove
# a directory. This is typically in tkill when trying to remove the
# internal LAM session directory. If you see this message, something is
# very wrong, and probably requires manual intervention.
# %1 name of program with problem
# %2 directory that can't be removed
It seems that LAM was not able to remove a directory properly. This should
not happen, and will probably require manual intervention on your part.
%1 was trying to remove the following directory:
%2
when some error occurred. Perhaps the following Unix error message will
help:
Unix errno: %errno
%perror
This directory contains some internal temporary LAM files, and is safe
to remove. Please go remove it manually.

# %1 = name of upper-level LAM library call/program that had a problem
At lamboot time, LAM stores some run-time files for each user under
the /tmp directory. This error was caused by the fact that LAM either
could not create a directory (or files in that directory), or was not
able to remove an old directory that already exists (or any files in
that previously-existing directory).
This error occurred in: %1

# Invoked by any booting program (e.g., lamboot, recon) when the
# user-provided host file could not be closed properly
# %1 = name of the invoking program

Unix errno: %errno
%perror
-*-boot:open-hostfile-*-
# Invoked by any booting program (e.g., lamboot, recon) when the

%1 could not open the hostfile "%2" for the following reason:
Unix errno: %errno
%perror
Things to check:
- ensure that the file exists
try "ls -l %2"
- ensure that you have read permissions on the file
try "cat %2"
-*-boot:find-hostfile-*-
# Invoked by any booting program (e.g., lamboot, recon) when the

-*-boot:find-hostname-*-
# Invoked by any booting program (e.g., lamgrow, lamshrink) when

# Invoked by any booting program (e.g., lamboot, recon) when one of
# the hosts listed in the hostfile cannot be resolved to an IP

# %1 = name of the host that we had a problem with
Could not resolve the hostname "%1" that was in the host file.
Things to check:
- is "%1" in /etc/hosts?
try "grep %1 /etc/hosts"
- is "%1" resolvable by DNS (or some other naming service)?
try "ping %1" or "dig %1" or "nslookup %1"
-*-boot:resolve-unknown-*-
# Invoked by any booting program (e.g., lamboot, recon) when some
# unknown error occurred while trying to resolve hosts in the host
# file.
# %1 = the errno
Encountered some unknown error (errno=%2) when trying to resolve
the hosts from the hostfile. Here's a guess at the problem:
%terror
-*-boot:duplicated-host-*-
# Invoked by any booting program (e.g., lamboot, recon) when a
# duplicate host name is discovered in a host file.
# %1 = name of the invoking program
# %2 = the duplicated host from the host file
%1 found at least one duplicated host in the list (which is not
allowed):
%2
Please remove the duplicate entry for this host (and any other
duplicates) from the list.
Be sure to check for multiple names that refer to the same host (i.e.,
resolve to the same IP address).
If you are trying to execute multiple copies on an SMP, you do *not*
need to list hosts more than once. Instead, only list each host once
in the boot schema, and see the man page for mpirun(1) for the "-c"
option, which will execute multiple copies of an executable on a
single node.
-*-boot:no-localhost-*-
# Invoked when the name of the localhost was not included in the boot
# schema.
# %1 = name of the invoking program
# %2 = name of the hostfile/boot schema
%1 found that your local host is not in the
hostfile "%2".
The local host name *must* be in the list of hosts in the hostfile.
In other words, you must boot LAM from a node that will be part of the
universe.
- If you simply forgot to put the local host in the boot
schema file, add it and re-run %1
- If you are trying to boot LAM from a node that will not be
part of the universe, you must login to on of the nodes that
will be part of the universe (i.e., one of the nodes in the
hostfiles), and re-run %1
Although the local host name is usually the first in the list to avoid
I/O ambiguities, it can actually appear anywhere in the list.
-*-boot-ssi:resolve-localhost-*-
# Invoked when there are more than one hosts in the host file and one
# resolves to 127.0.0.1. Protects users from accidently setting up an
# environment where remote lamds can not talk to the origin lamd.
# %1 = name of the invoking program
# %2 = name of offending host
%1 found that the hostname "%2" resolves to "%3".
When using LAM/MPI with more than one host, all hosts specified in the
boot schema must resolve to an address that is reachable from all
other hosts. This is not possible with the special IP addresses
127.x.y.z -- by definition, 127.x.y.z can *only* be reached from the
local host.
In order to fix this problem:
- Ensure that "%2" is not specified in your boot
schema when attempting to %1 more than one host, or
- Ensure that the hostname
%2
does not resolve to 127.x.y.z.
Note that in many recent Linux distributions, the host name of a
machine will be added to /etc/hosts for the entry 127.0.0.1. This is
a shortcut that, while it works in many situations, is not technically
correct. The host name of the local machine should instead be in a
separate entry with the IP address to which the name resolves.
Also note that it is perfectly acceptable to use "%3" when only
*ONE* host is being used with LAM/MPI.
-*-boot-ssi:selected-module-unavailable-*-
# Invoked when a specific boot SSI module was requested on the command
# line, but is unavailable.
# %1: Name of the module requested
The boot SSI module that was requested (%1) reports that it is
not available to run. If more information is required, try using the
"-d" flag.
-*-boot:server-socket-fail-*-
# This is invoked from lambootagent.c when we failed to create an
# internet server socket
# No parameters are passed
LAM failed to generate a listening internet socket. This should not
happen -- please check your local TCP stack and setup options.
Perhaps this will help:
Unix errno: %errno
%perror
-*-boot:fork-fail-*-
# This is invoked when _lam_few fails in lambootagent.c. It is only
# for the case where the local lamd failed to launch.
# %1 = name of the lamd executable that was attempted to be invoked
LAM failed to fork/exec a process to launch the local LAM daemon
(lamd). LAM first launches %1 to launch the local LAM daemon, so
several things could have gone wrong:
- "%1" itself could not be found (check your $PATH)
- "%1" failed for some reason (consult previous error messages,
if any)
- Too many processes exist and Unix could not fork another
-*-boot:remote-shell-fail-*-
# This is invoked when inetexec fails in lambootagent.c. It is only
# for the case where a remote lamd failed to launch, specifically when
# were were trying to obtain the remote shell name (i.e., before we

LAM failed to execute a process on the remote node "%1".
LAM was not trying to invoke any LAM-specific commands yet -- we were
simply trying to determine what shell was being used on the remote

This usually indicates an authentication problem with the remote
agent, some other configuration type of error in your .cshrc or
.profile file, or you were unable to executable a command on the
remote node for some other reason. The following is a list of items
that you should check on the remote node:
- You have an account and can login to the remote machine
- Incorrect permissions on your home directory (should
probably be 0755)
- Incorrect permissions on your $HOME/.rhosts file (if you are
using rsh -- they should probably be 0644)
- You have an entry in the remote $HOME/.rhosts file (if you
are using rsh) for the machine and username that you are
running from
- Your .cshrc/.profile must not print anything out to the
standard error
- Your .cshrc/.profile should set a correct TERM type
- Your .cshrc/.profile should set the SHELL environment
variable to your default shell
Try invoking the following command at the unix command line:
%4
You will need to configure your local setup such that you will *not*

LAM attempted to execute a process on the remote node "%1",
but received some output on the standard error. This heuristic
assumes that any output on the standard error indicates a fatal error,
and therefore aborts. You can disable this behavior (i.e., have LAM
ignore output on standard error) in the rsh boot module by setting the
SSI parameter boot_rsh_ignore_stderr to 1.

This is an unusual error -- it does not typically indicate a
permissions problem. But it can sometimes indicate latent (or
"silent") errors in your $HOME/.cshrc, $HOME/.login, or $HOME/.profile
file.

LAM failed to execute a LAM binary on the remote node "%1".
Since LAM was already able to determine your remote shell as "%3",
it is probable that this is not an authentication problem.

This can indicate several things. You should check the following:
- The LAM binaries are in your $PATH
- You can run the LAM binaries
- The $PATH variable is set properly before your

# Called when lambootagent times out waiting for the newly booted
# client to call back
# No arguments are passed
The lamboot agent timed out while waiting for the newly-booted process
to call back and indicated that it had successfully booted.
*** PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE MESSAGE, FOLLOW ITS SUGGESTIONS, AND
*** CONSULT THE "BOOTING LAM" SECTION OF THE LAM/MPI FAQ
*** (http://www.lam-mpi.org/faq/) BEFORE POSTING TO THE LAM/MPI USER'S
*** MAILING LIST.
As far as LAM could tell, the remote process started properly, but
then never called back. Possible reasons that this may happen:
- There are network filters between the lamboot agent host and
the remote host such that communication on random TCP ports
is blocked
- Network routing from the remote host to the local host isn't
properly configured (this is uncommon)
You can check these things by watching the output from "lamboot -d".
1. On the command line for hboot, there are two important parameters:
one is the IP address of where the lamboot agent was invoked, the
other is the port number that the lamboot agent is expecting the
newly-booted process to call back on (this will be a random
integer).
2. Manually login to the remote machine and try to telnet to the port
indicated on the hboot command line. For example,
telnet <ipnumber> <portnumber>
If all goes well, you should get a "Connection refused" error. If
you get any other kind of error, it could indicate either of the
two conditions above. Consult with your system/network
administrator.
-*-boot:read-clt-coord-*-
# Called when lambootagent fails reading the client coordinated over
# the socket. This should never happen.
# No arguments are passed
The lamboot agent failed to read a message over a socket from the
newly-booted process. This should not happen (especially since TCP is
a guaranteed protocol).

*** CONSULT THE "BOOTING LAM" SECTION OF THE LAM/MPI FAQ
*** (http://www.lam-mpi.org/faq/) BEFORE POSTING TO THE LAM/MPI USER'S

You should probably check the following:
- Network connectivity: Ensure that messages can be passed reliably
over TCP using random ports.
- Environment / PATH settings: Ensure that you are running the same
version of LAM/MPI on all nodes. Sometimes premature disconnects
(and therefore this error message) may be caused if mismatched
versions of LAM are used on different nodes.
- Node health: Ensure that the host where the newly-booted process was
launched is healthy and still available on the network.
-*-boot:close-socket-fail-*-
# Called when lambootagent fails to close the socket from the callback
# from the newly-booted process. This should never happen.
# No arguments are passed
The lamboot agent failed to close a socket from the newly-booted
process. This should not happen (especially since TCP is a guaranteed
protocol).
Please check your network connectivity and ensure that messages can be
passed reliably over TCP. Additionally, ensure that the host where
the newly-booted process was launched is healthy and still available
on the network.
-*-boot:open-client-socket-fail-*-

The lamboot agent failed to open a client socket to the newly-booted
process at IP address %1, port %2.
*** PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE MESSAGE, FOLLOW ITS SUGGESTIONS, AND

*** (http://www.lam-mpi.org/faq/) BEFORE POSTING TO THE LAM/MPI USER'S
*** MAILING LIST.
Although the newly-booted process has already communicated
successfully with the lamboot agent over other TCP sockets, this is
the first time that the lamboot agent tried to initiate a connection
to the newly-booted process. As such, this may indicate:
1. %1 is not the correct IP address for the machine where the
newly-booted machine was launched
2. There are network filters between the lamboot agent host and
the remote host such that communication on random TCP ports
is blocked
3. Network routing from the the local host to the remote isn't
properly configured (this is unlikely)
For number 1, check to ensure that %1 is the correct IP address for
that machine. If it is not, check the host mapping on that machine
(e.g., /etc/hosts) to ensure that %1 is both reachable and is the by
the host where the lamboot agent is running, and is the correct host.
For numbers 2 and 4, try to telnet to %1, port %2. You should get a
"connection refused" error, which will indicate that you successfully
connected to some machine at that IP address, and no process was
listening on that port. If you get any other kind of error, check
with your system/network administrator -- it may indicate network /
routing issues between the two hosts.
-*-boot:open-client-socket-fail-*-
# Called when lambootagent fails to write down an already-established
# TCP socket. This should never happen.
# No parameters are passed.
The lamboot agent unexpectedly failed to write data to a TCP socket
where it was communicating with a newly-booted process. This should
not happen (especially since TCP is a guaranteed protocol).
Please check your network connectivity and ensure that messages can be
passed reliably over TCP. Additionally, ensure that the host where
the newly-booted process was launched is healthy and still available
on the network.
-*-boot:no-schedulable-nodes-*-
# This is a warning displayed by lamboot and lamgrow if a user has a
# LAM universe with no default schedulable nodes.
WARNING: The current LAM universe has no default schedulable nodes.
For example, if you try to execute "mpirun C my_mpi_program" or
"lamexec N uptime", you will likely get "Exec format error" messages,
and nothing will run.
This is because LAM's "N" and "C" notation will only expand to
"schedulable" nodes in the LAM universe -- of which you currently
have none. Note, however, that you can still run on explicit nodes
(e.g., "mpirun n0 n1 n2 n3 my_mpi_program").
This is a warning only. The LAM universe is up and operating
correctly.

-*-bhost-parse:garbage-after-hostname-*-
# Called when something after a hostname is not a key-value pair

An invalid entry was found after the hostname on hostfile line %1.
This indicates either: there were two hostnames on one line, or a
key-value pair did not have valid syntax.
Only one hostname is allowed per line, and key-value pairs must be of
the form "key=value", with no spaces. The line will be ignored.
The offending line was:

-*-recon:happiness-*-
# Invoked when recon completes successfully.
# No parameters are sent.
Woo hoo!
recon has completed successfully. This means that you will most likely
be able to boot LAM successfully with the "lamboot" command (but this
is not a guarantee). See the lamboot(1) manual page for more
information on the lamboot command.
If you have problems booting LAM (with lamboot) even though recon
worked successfully, enable the "-d" option to lamboot to examine each
step of lamboot and see what fails. Most situations where recon
succeeds and lamboot fails have to do with the hboot(1) command (that
lamboot invokes on each host in the hostfile).
-*-recon:unhappiness-*-
# Invoked when recon completes unsuccessfully.
# No parameters are sent.
recon was not able to complete successfully. There can be any number
of problems that did not allow recon to work properly. You should use
the "-d" option to recon to get more information about each step that
recon attempts.
Any error message above may present a more detailed description of the
actual problem.
Here is general a list of prerequisites that *must* be fulfilled
before recon can work:
- Each machine in the hostfile must be reachable and operational.
- You must have an account on each machine.
- You must be able to rsh(1) to the machine (permissions
are typically set in the user's $HOME/.rhosts file).
*** Sidenote: If you compiled LAM to use a remote shell program
other than rsh (with the --with-rsh option to ./configure;
e.g., ssh), or if you set the LAMRSH environment variable
to an alternate remote shell program, you need to ensure
that you can execute programs on remote nodes with no
password. For example:
unix% ssh -x pinky uptime
3:09am up 211 day(s), 23:49, 2 users, load average: 0.01, 0.08, 0.10
- The LAM executables must be locatable on each machine, using
the shell's search path and possibly the LAMHOME environment
variable.
- The shell's start-up script must not print anything on standard
error. You can take advantage of the fact that rsh(1) will
start the shell non-interactively. The start-up script (such
as .profile or .cshrc) can exit early in this case, before
executing many commands relevant only to interactive sessions
and likely to generate output.

It appears that the current LAM universe only has a single node, and
that node's address is 127.0.0.1. lamgrow cannot grow this universe.
LAM must know the real IP address of this node -- the special
127.0.0.1 address will not work with multiple nodes.
It is suggested that you re-lamboot this universe with an IP address
of this node other than 127.0.0.1, and then invoke lamgrow again (or
simply lamboot the entire desired set of nodes).

Session directory:
A LAM session directory will be created on each node where the
LAM run-time environment is started. This directory must be
unique to each node. It will be created in the form:
<prefix>/lam-<username>@<hostname>[-<suffix>]
<prefix> will be based on the following search order:
1. The value of the LAM_MPI_SESSION_PREFIX environment
variable (if it exists).
2. The value of the TMPDIR environment variable (if it
exists).
3. /tmp
<suffix> will be based on the following search order (if a
valid <suffix> is not found, it is not used):
1. The value of the LAM_MPI_SESSION_PREFIX environment
variable (if it exists).
2. If running under a supported batch system, a unique job ID
will be used.

It seems that [at least] one of the processes that was started with
mpirun chose a different RPI than its peers. For example, at least
the following two processes mismatched in their RPI selections:
MPI_COMM_WORLD rank %1: %2
MPI_COMM_WORLD rank %3: %4
All MPI processes must choose the same RPI module and version when
they start. Check your SSI settings and/or the local environment

It seems that [at least] one of the processes that was started with
mpirun chose a different CR module than mpirun. For example, at least
the following process mismatched in its CR selection:
MPI_COMM_WORLD rank %1: %2
mpirun : %3

One of the processes started by mpirun has apparently exited without
invoking MPI_FINALIZE (it had already invoked MPI_INIT).
The program did not exit due to a signal, however.
MPI programs must invoke MPI_FINALIZE before terminating. As such,
this is considered an error, and LAM will now kill any remaining

One of the processes started by mpirun has exited with a nonzero exit
code. This typically indicates that the process finished in error.
If your process did not finish in error, be sure to include a "return
0" or "exit(0)" in your C code before exiting the application.

Examples: mpirun n0-7 prog1
Executes "prog1" on nodes 0 through 7.
mpirun -lamd -x FOO=bar,DISPLAY N prog2
Executes "prog2" on all nodes using the LAMD RPI.
In the environment of each process, set FOO to the value
"bar", and set DISPLAY to the current value.
mpirun n0 N prog3
Run "prog3" on node 0, *and* all nodes. This executes *2*
copies on n0.
mpirun C prog4 arg1 arg2
Run "prog4" on each available CPU with command line
arguments of "arg1" and "arg2". If each node has a
CPU count of 1, the "C" is equivalent to "N". If at
least one node has a CPU count greater than 1, LAM
will run neighboring ranks of MPI_COMM_WORLD on that
node. For example, if node 0 has a CPU count of 4 and
node 1 has a CPU count of 2, "prog4" will have
MPI_COMM_WORLD ranks 0 through 3 on n0, and ranks 4
and 5 on n1.
mpirun c0 C prog5
Similar to the "prog3" example above, this runs "prog5"
on CPU 0 *and* on each available CPU. This executes
*2* copies on the node where CPU 0 is (i.e., n0).
This is probably not a useful use of the "C" notation;
it is only shown here for an example.

Uses gethostbyaddr(3) to get remote host names. If
gethostbyaddr(3) fails, prints the IP address of the node.
Options: -c Suppress printing CPU count for each node
-h Print this message
-i Print IP addresses (instead of IP names)
-n Suppress printing LAM node numbers
Examples: lamnodes
Print names of all nodes in the LAM. This is
equivalent to "lamnodes N".
lamnodes -n h
Print name of local node, with no LAM node number.
lamnodes -i c0 n2 -c
Print IP numbers of the node where CPU 0
resides and of node 2. Do not print the CPU
count for each node.
lamnodes C -c -n
Print the IP names of the nodes where each
CPU resides, and suppress printing the CPU
count. This will produce a valid boot schema,
suitable for use with lamboot.
lamnodes N -n
Print the IP names of all nodes along with
their CPU count. Like the above example, this
can be used to produce a boot schema that can
be used with lamboot.
-*-lamhalt:usage-*-
# Usage message for lamhalt. No arguments.
Synopsis: lamhalt [options]
Description: Shut down an entire running LAM run time system.
This command should be preferred over the "lamwipe" command;
it is much faster and does not require a boot schema
(hostfile). Instead, it simply tells the local LAM
daemon to shutdown and waits for acknowledgements.

-*-lamtrace:nompiworld-*-
# Message that lamtrace didn't find any MPI traces
lamtrace was unable to find any MPI traces.
This may mean that there is a problem with the lam daemon or lamtrace.
More than likely, however, it means that tracing was not enabled
during any of the MPI jobs run since the last lamboot. In order to
enable tracing, you should specify the '-t' flag to mpirun.

# %2 child's MPI_COMM_WORLD rank
# %3 CR selection of child process
It seems that [at least] one of the child processes that was started
by MPI_Comm_spawn* chose a different CR module than the parent
application. For example, one (of the) child process(es) that
differed from the parent is shown below:
Parent application: %1
Child MPI_COMM_WORLD rank %2: %3
All MPI processes must choose the same CR module and version when
they start. Check your SSI settings and/or the local environment
variables on each node.
-*-sfh:open-server-socket-*-
# Called when we can't open a server socket to listen.
# %1 = rank number in MPI_COMM_WORLD
It seems that rank %1 was not able to open a TCP server socket for
some reason. LAM is likely to abort your program shortly. :-(
Perhaps this unix error message will help:
Unix errno: %errno
%perror
-*-sfh:open-client-socket-*-
# Called in the TCP RPI when we can't open a client socket to some other
# rank during the connection dance.
# %1 = rank number in MPI_COMM_WORLD
It seems that rank %1 was not able to open a TCP client socket for
some reason. LAM is likely to abort your program shortly. :-(
Perhaps this unix error message will help:
Unix errno: %errno
%perror
-*-sfh:accept-server-socket-*-
# Called in the TCP RPI when accepting on a server socket during the
# connection dance fails.
# %1 = rank number in MPI_COMM_WORLD
It seems that rank %1 was not able to accept on an already open TCP
server socket for some reason. LAM is likely to abort your program
shortly. :-(
Perhaps this unix error message will help:
Unix errno: %errno
%perror
-*-lamshrink:usage-*-
# Called in lamshrink for general usage
Synopsis: lamshrink [-d] [-h] [-v] [-w <secs>] <nodeid>
Description: Remove a node from a LAM universe.
Options:
-d Turn on debugging / help mode
-h Print this message
-v Be verbose
-w <secs> Warn target node processes and pause before killing
Node: n<id>, e.g., n5
Example: lamshrink n3
Remove node 3 from the LAM universe
-*-ssi:module-not-found-*-
# Called when a specific module was asked for, but was not able to be
# found at run time.
# %1: Kind of SSI
# %2: name of module requested
The %1 module named "%2" could not be found.
This typically means that you misspelled the desired module name, used
the wrong name entirely, or the module has decided that it does not
want to run in this environment.
-*-ssi-rpi:none-available-*-
# Called by the SSI RPI open function when no RPI says that it's
# available.
# No parameters are passed.
No SSI RPI modules said that they were available to run.
This should only happen if you request an MPI thread level that is too
high (for example, none of the SSI RPI modules that are included with
LAM/MPI currently support MPI_THREAD_MULTIPLE). If this happened and
you did not call MPI_INIT_THREAD with MPI_THREAD_MULTIPLE, something
catastrophic happened during SSI module selection such that no RPIs
were able to run.
-*-rpi-ssi:selected-module-unavailable-*-
# Invoked when a specific RPI SSI module was requested on the command
# line, but is unavailable.
# %1: Name of the module requested
The RPI SSI module that was requested (%1) reports that it is
not available to run. If more information is required, try using the
"-d" flag.
-*-ssi-boot:none-available-*-
# Called by the SSI boot open function when no boot module says that
# it's available.
# No parameters are passed.
No SSI boot modules said that they were available to run. This should
not happen.
-*-ssi-boot:too-many-available-*-
# Called by the SSI boot open function when more than one boot module
# says that it's available.
# No parameters are passed.
More than one SSI boot module said that it was available to run. This
should not happen.
-*-ssi-boot:parse-failure-*-
# Called by whoever (lamboot, lamgrow) to show that
# lam_ssi_boot_parse_options() returned a failure.
I'm confused -- the boot SSI module said that it wasn't able to parse
the command line. Aborting in despair.
-*-ssi-boot:unable-to-init-*-
# Called by whoever (lamboot, lamgrow) to show that
# lam_ssi_boot_parse_options() returned a failure.
I'm confused -- the boot SSI module said that it wasn't able to
initialize properly. Aborting in despair.
-*-ssi-boot:alg-not-implemented-*-
# Called by the boot SSI when a back-end algorithm has not yet been
# implemented. The need for this error message will go away someday
# (i.e., when threaded and tree-based booting algorithms are
# implemented).
# %1 - Name of the algorithm not yet implemented
The boot SSI does not yet implement the "%1" booting algorithm.
Please choose another.
Sorry!
-*-ssi-boot:start-unknown-rte-proc-*-
# Called by boot SSI modules when they are invoked with an unknown
# LAM RTE enum value. This should not happen.
The SSI boot module is confused; it was called with an unknown
enum to specify which LAM RTE process to start.
-*-ssi-boot:base-startup-proto-missing-args-*-
# Called by the base TCP startup protocol in the boot SSI when
# some command line parameters are missing.
The booted program is missing at least one of the -H, -P, or -n
command line arguments. These arguments are required to tell the
booted program how to contact the booting agent.
Cannot continue. Sorry.
-*-ssi-coll:none-available-*-
# Called by the SSI coll open function when no coll module says that
# it's available.
# No parameters are passed.
No SSI coll modules said that they were available to run. This should
not happen.
-*-lamclean:usage-*-
# Show the usage options of the "lamclean" command
# No parameters are sent
Synopsis: lamclean [options]
Description: Clean up resources on all nodes in the LAM universe
Options:
-h This message
-v Be verbose
-*-lamcheckpoint:usage-*-
# Show the usage options of the "lamcheckpoint" command
# No parameters are sent
Synopsis: lamcheckpoint -ssi cr [self|blcr] -pid <pid>
Description: Checkpoint a MPI Job with the given pid
Example: lamcheckpoint -ssi cr self -pid 20000
Checkpoint the MPI Job with pid 20000 using the cr self module
-*-lamrestart:usage-*-
# Show the usage options of the "lamrestart" command
# No parameters are sent
Synopsis: lamrestart -ssi cr blcr -ssi cr_blcr_context_file filename
or lamrestart -ssi cr self -ssi cr_restart_args "args to mpirun"
Description: Restart an MPI job. If the specified cr module is blcr
the SSI parameter to use cr_blcr_context_file, and if
the selected cr module is self use the
cr_self_restart_args parameter to specify the
parameters to be passed to the new mpirun
Example: lamrestart -ssi cr self \
-ssi cr_self_restart_args "-ssi rpi crtcp -np 3 myprogram"
Restart a MPI Job, pass the parameters
'-ssi rpi crtcp -np 3 myprogram' to the new mpirun.
lamrestart -ssi cr blcr \
-ssi cr_blcr_context_file mycontextfile
Restart an MPI job using the BLCR checkpoint/restart
module, using the context file 'mycontexfile' (created
during a previous successful checkpoint).
