When running jobs with XC Version 3.2, OFED InfiniBand, and HP-MPI Version 2.2.5.1 the following messages are printed once for each rank:

libibverbs: Warning: fork()-safety requested but init failed

HP-MPI Version 2.2.5.1 has support for fork() using OFED 1.2, but only for kernels more recent than version 2.6.12. HP XC Version 3.2 is currently based on kernel version 2.6.9. This message is a reminder that fork() is not supported in this release.

You can suppress this message by defining the MPI_IBV_NO_FORK_SAFE environment variable, as follows:

% /opt/hpmpi/bin/mpirun -np 4 -prot -e MPI_IBV_NO_FORK_SAFE=1 -hostlist nodea,nodeb,nodec,noded /my/dir/hello_world
