PRRTE Version v{{ release }} DVM Configuration Tool

This configuration tool is intended to help system administrators create a PRRTE configuration file that sets important configuration parameters.

While every attempt is made to maintain compatibility of the PRRTE configuration tool and options across versions, we recommend that the configuration file be built using the tool distributed with the version being installed on your cluster. Some parameters will be set to default values, but you can manually edit the resulting prte.conf file as desired for greater flexibility. See the PRRTE documentation at https://docs.prrte.org, or your locally generated docs (if available), for more details about the configuration parameters for this version.

Note that while PRRTE daemons create log files and other files as needed, they treat the lack of parent directories (e.g., the specified "DVMTempDir") as a fatal error. This prevents the daemons from running if critical file systems are not mounted.

After you have filled in the fields of interest, use the "Submit" button on the bottom of the page to display the resulting prte.conf file. It will appear on your web browser. Save the file in text format as prte.conf for use by the DVM.

NOTE: Hostname values should not be specified as fully qualified domain names (e.g. use foo rather than foo.bar.com).

NOTE: This configuration file must be installed as prte.conf in the etc directory under the PRRTE installation location on all nodes in your cluster. For example, if PRRTE was installed in /prrte, then the configuration file must be stored as /prrte/etc/prte.conf so that all prted daemons can find it.

Supported Options

The following options are supported by PRRTE v{{ release }}.

Bootstrap Options

ClusterName:
The name of the cluster upon which the DVM is executing. This is used by PRRTE to form the namespace for the DVM daemons, which is taken as -prte-dvm. Using different names for each of your clusters is important if you use a single database to record information from multiple PRRTE-managed clusters.

DVMControllerHost:
The host upon which the DVM controller will be executing. The prted that finds itself booting onto this host will declare itself to be the system controller and will initialize itself accordingly.

DVMControllerPort:
The TCP port upon which the DVM controller will be listening for connections from its prted daemons on the remaining system nodes.

PRTEDPort:
The TCP port upon which each prted daemon will be listening for connections from its peer daemons on the other system nodes.

DVMNodes:
Provides a regular expression identifying the nodes that upon which user applications can run. IP addresses can be provided in place of hostnames if desired.The regular expression can consist of a simple comma-delimited list of hostnames, or a comma-delimited list of hostname ranges (e.g., "linux0,linux[2-10]"), or a PMIx "native" regular expression.

Operational Options

DVMTempDir:
The temporary directory that the DVM daemons and controller are to use as the base for their session directories. Working files/directories for the DVM will be placed under this location.

SessionTmpDir:
The temporary directory that the DVM daemons are to use as the base for session directories for all application sessions. Working files for each session will be placed under this location, separated out into a directory for each session.

Logging Options

ControllerLogJobState:
Directs the DVM controller to log each DVM-launched job state transition. Log entry includes the namespace of the job, the state to which it is transitioning, and the date/time stamp when the transition was ordered.

ControllerLogProcState:
Directs the DVM controller to log each process (in a DVM-launched job) state transition. Log entry includes the namespace and rank of the process, the state to which it is transitioning, and the date/time stamp when the transition was ordered.

ControllerLogPath:
Path to where the logs are to be written. If a relative path is provided, then the directory will be created under the DVMTempDir location. The path defaults to the specified SessionTmpDir in the absence of any input to this field. The log filename is formatted as prtectrlr--log.

PRTEDLogJobState:
Directs each prted in the DVM to log each DVM-launched job state transition. Log entry includes the namespace of the job, the state to which it is transitioning, and the date/time stamp when the transition was ordered.

PRTEDLogProcState:
Directs each prted in the DVM to log each process (in a DVM-launched job) state transition. Log entry includes the namespace and rank of the process, the state to which it is transitioning, and the date/time stamp when the transition was ordered.

PRTEDLogPath:
Path to where the logs are to be written. If a relative path is provided, then the directory will be created under the DVMTempDir location. The path defaults to the specified SessionTmpDir in the absence of any input to this field. The log filename is formatted as prted--log.
