CMA: unable to open /dev/infiniband/rdma_cm


This Error Reference is intended for: Any audience.

After running a job, you may get this error message if you don't use infiniband

A message similar to this:

 

CMA: unable to open /dev/infiniband/rdma_cm
librdmacm: couldn't read ABI version.
librdmacm: assuming: 4
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
[[35854,1],0]: A high-performance Open MPI point-to-point messaging module
was unable to find any relevant network interfaces:

Module: OpenFabrics (openib)
  Host: compute-29-5.local

Another transport will be used instead, although this may result in
lower performance.

May appear when you use mpi on the nodes which are not connected to infiniband.

This is only a warning, not an error.

You can avoid that mpi try to use the infiniband network with:

mpirun --mca btl ^openib --mca btl_tcp_if_include eth0 MyProg.exe

Of course this should not be used if you want to use the infiniband network.

 

To use Infiniband interconnect, submit with -lnodes=ib, for example:

#PBS -lnodes=2:ppn=8:ib
