Description of problem: OpenMPI automatically detects when it is running under SGE (aka gridengine) and uses qrsh to launch remote tasks rather than ssh. This integration is broken in 1.5.3 as included in 6.2. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): openmpi-1.5.3-3 How reproducible: Every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Launch an OpenMPI-1.5.3 program using SGE 2. 3. Actual results: OpenMPI attemts to use ssh Expected results: OpenMPI uses qrsh Additional info: Upstream claims this was fixed in 1.5.4. See <https://svn.open-mpi.org/trac/ompi/ticket/2763>.
Since RHEL 6.3 External Beta has begun, and this bug remains unresolved, it has been rejected as it is not proposed as exception or blocker. Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to propose this request, if appropriate and relevant, in the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
It looks like this should be fixed by the OpenMPI upgrade in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.3. Can you test the 6.3 beta version and report whether this is still broken?
That version does indeed fix it -- thanks!
