[BProc] Help on nodeinfo ?

[rwillis <rw...@ct...>]

Hi,
 I'm not using the entire toolset that makes up Clustermatic, as I already
have a nice working node bootup system running. I have BProc up and running,
and I am using MPICH-GM, so I would like to use your version of mpirun. I
downloaded, built and installed CMtools 1.1, but the file
/var/beowulf/nodeinfo is missing. I have not found out yet what makes this
file. If anybody knows I would be interested in hearing from you.

 Also, there was a patchfile in the mpirun directory
(mpich-1.2.4..8a-gm-bproc.patch). I manually patched the gmpi_conf.c file in
the mpich-1.2.5..9 directory with it. I am just curious why it is needed,
and how the environment variables it requires are created. It is even
required?

 The environment variables that cmtools (and the patched mpich-gm) needs
are;
 GMPI_CONF, BPROC_RANK & NODES. Do I set these manually?
