-et <echo-string>
Authenticates with the remote service and performs a
simple echo test, returning the string.
-sys Authenticates with the remote service and returns
remote system information, including node name, CPU
count, and username.
-ps [username]
Authenticates with the remote service, and lists
processes running on the remote system. If a username
is included, only that user’s processes are listed.
-dir <path> Authenticates with the remote service and lists the
files for the given path. This is a useful tool to
determine if access to network shares are available to
the authenticated user.
-sdir <path> Same as -dir, but will list a single file. No directory
contents are listed. Only the directory is listed if
accessible.
-kill <pid> Authenticates with remote service and terminates the
remote process indicated by the pid. The process is
terminated as the authenticated user. So, if the user
does not have permission to terminate the indicated
process, the process will not be terminated.
mpidiag authentication options are the same as mpirun authentication
options. These include: -pass, -cache, -clearcache, -iscached,
-token/-tg, -package/-pk. See “mpirun options” on page 119 for
detailed descriptions of these options.
The mpidiag tool can be very helpful in debugging issues with remote
launch and access to remote systems through the HP-MPI Remote
Launch service.
To use the tool, you must always supply a 'server' with the -s option.
Then you can use various commands to test the access to the remote
service, and check a limited number of remote machine resource.
For example, to test if machine 'winbl16' HP-MPI remote launch service
is running, use the -at flag:
