[mpich-discuss] Fw: not able to run mpi jobs

Dear mpich community,

I am quite new to mpi but I got a small slurm cluster with 3 compute nodes running.
I can run simple jobs like `srun -N3 hostname` and I am trying now to run an mpi helloworld app. My issue is that the job hangs and fails after a few seconds.

# srun -N2 -n4 /scratch/helloworld-mpi
srun: error: mpi/pmi2: failed to send temp kvs to compute nodes
srun: Job step aborted: Waiting up to 32 seconds for job step to finish.
slurmstepd: error: *** STEP 2.0 ON nid001001-cluster-1 CANCELLED AT 2022-03-22T16:43:07 ***
srun: error: nid001002-cluster-1: task 3: Killed
srun: launch/slurm: _step_signal: Terminating StepId=2.0
srun: error: nid001001-cluster-1: tasks 0-2: Killed

​I can see this in the slurmd logs:

I compiled mpich-4.0.0 and I can run mpi jobs outside  slurm

# mpirun -ppn 2 --hosts nid001001-cluster-1,nid001003-cluster-1,nid001003-cluster-1 /scratch/helloworld-mpi
Warning: Permanently added 'nid001003-cluster-1,172.29.9.83' (ECDSA) to the list of known hosts.

Hello world from processor nid001001-cluster-1, rank 0 out of 4 processors

Could someone please give me a hint of what to look in regards running mpi jobs in slurm?

thank you very much
