Dear my folks in Lam-mpi field:
       My name is Zhiyi Li, a research assistant in Virginia
Bioinformatics Institute in Virginia Tech. I try to install lam-mpi
and have some problems. I wish I can find help here.
       The objective is that I want to install lam-mpi in IBM Linux
Cluster system. This system is adminstrated by OpenPBS operating
system and parallel programming job can only submitted to a batch
queue by PBS scripts.
This system include one Linux server and 96 Linux Cluster nodes.
       I installed lam-mpi in my directory for example /home/zli/lammpi
and setup appropriate path, then I can execute lamboot command to
activate lam-mpi interface environment.
       The problem is that lamboot only boot my server linux node,
however, it does not boot other linux cluster node. I try to modify
lam-bhost.def file to add other linux host cluster node name in it
to tell lam-mpi also boot other nodes, the system failed and
responds it can not access my Linux Cluster node. According to my
thinking is that PBS system is a batch system and mpi job includes
lamboot command only can submit to system by PBS scripts, only
lamboot command in server side can not access directly with other
Linux Cluster nodes. Is it true? Are there any special software or
setup system to let lamboot command boot all Linux Clusters lam-mpi
environments?
      Are there any path to go around wall (PBS scripts) and let lamboot
to boot Linux ClusterI am very eager and wait to find solutions.

Sincerely
