8/11/21: Intel MPI 2018.x.y and Earlier Libraries and Related Applications Failing

Description

Since the last maintenance where Slurm has been updated we have noticed a backward incompatibility issue when using with the Intel MPI libraries. Any application that uses the intel-mpi 2018.x.y and earlier libraries will fail to run.

For example, if you have a local version of say VASP that has been built and uses module load intel-mpi.x.y

Solution

To resolve the issue, insert the following after the srun command within your command-line / submission script: srun --mpi=pmi2

Beartooth MPI Fail

6 Jan. 2023. Symptoms:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
WARNING: Open MPI failed to TCP connect to a peer MPI process.  This
should not happen.

Your Open MPI job may now hang or fail.

This is an issue with MPI. ARCC is working to resolve this intermittent issue. If you encounter it, simply restarting your job is the workaround at this time.

Credential Caching

Description

Occasionally some users' credentials are getting cached on Teton Beartooth that prevents them from logging in.

Solution

We have a script in place that clears the cache on the system that runs every hour on the hour. We can also run this manually if users run into trouble with logging into Teton Beartooth when they have previously been able to login before and can’t wait for the hourly script.
