Display information about the open mpi installation
ompi_info [options]
ompi_info provides detailed information about the Open MPI installation. It can be useful for at least three common scenarios:
1. Checking local configuration and seeing how Open MPI was installed.
2. Submitting bug reports / help requests to the Open MPI community (see http://www.open-mpi.org/community/help/)
3. Seeing a list of installed Open MPI plugins and querying what MCA parameters they support.
ompi_info accepts the following options:
-a|--all
Show all configuration options and MCA parameters
--arch
Show architecture Open MPI was compiled on
-c|--config
Show configuration options
-gmca|--gmca <param> <value>
Pass global MCA parameters that are applicable to all contexts.
-h|--help
Shows help / usage message
--hostname
Show the hostname that Open MPI was configured and built on
--internal
Show internal MCA parameters (not meant to be modified by users)
-mca|--mca <param> <value>
Pass context-specific MCA parameters; they are considered global if --gmca is not used and only one context is specified.
--param <type> <component>
Show MCA parameters. The first parameter is the type of the component to display; the second parameter is the specific component to display (or the keyword "all", meaning "display all components of this type").
--parsable
When used in conjunction with other parameters, the output is displayed in a machine-parsable format --parseable Synonym for --parsable
--path <type>
Show paths that Open MPI was configured with. Accepts the following parameters: prefix, bindir, libdir, incdir, pkglibdir, sysconfdir.
--pretty
When used in conjunction with other parameters, the output is displayed in 'prettyprint' format (default)
-v|--version <component> <scope>
Show version of Open MPI or a component. <component> can be the keywords "ompi" or "all", the name of a framework (e.g., "coll" shows all components in the coll framework), or the name of a specific component (e.g., "pls:rsh" shows the information from the rsh PLS component). <scope> can be one of: full, major, minor, release, greek, svn.
ompi_info
Show the default output of options and listing of installed components in a human-readable / prettyprint format.
ompi_info --parsable
Show the default output of options and listing of installed components in a machine-parsable format.
ompi_info --param btl openib
Show the MCA parameters of the "openib" BTL component in a human-readable / prettyprint format.
ompi_info --param btl openib --parsable
Show the MCA parameters of the "openib" BTL component in a machine-parsable format.
ompi_info --path bindir
Show the "bindir" that Open MPI was configured with.
ompi_info --version ompi full --parsable
Show the full version numbers of Open MPI (including the ORTE and OPAL version numbers) in a machine-readable format.
ompi_info --version btl major
Show the major version number of all BTL components in a prettyprint format.
ompi_info --version btl:tcp minor
Show the minor version number of the TCP BTL component in a prettyprint format.
ompi_info --all
Show all information about the Open MPI installation, including all components that can be found, the MCA parameters that they support, versions of Open MPI and the components, etc.
