Open RTE MCA File Management (FileM) Framework: Overview of Open RTE's FileM framework, and selected modules. Open MPI 4.1.4

## NAME

ORTE\_FILEM - Open RTE MCA File Management (FileM) Framework: Overview of Open RTE's FileM framework, and selected modules.  Open MPI 4.1.4

## DESCRIPTION

FileM is a utility framework used by OpenRTE for a variety of purposes, including the transport of checkpoint files, preloading user binaries, and preloading of user files.

## AVAILABLE COMPONENTS

Open RTE currently ships with one FileM component: *rsh*.

The following MCA parameters apply to all components:

- filem\_base\_verbose

  Set the verbosity level for all components. Default is 0, or silent except on error.

### rsh FileM Component

The *rsh* component uses *rcp* or *scp* to do its file transfers. This component requires the use of passwordless *rsh* or *ssh* between all nodes.

The *rsh* component has the following MCA parameters:

- filem\_rsh\_priority

  The component's priority to use when selecting the most appropriate component for a run.

- filem\_rsh\_verbose

  Set the verbosity level for this component. Default is 0, or silent except on error.

- filem\_rsh\_rcp

  The program to use to copy files. Generally will be rcp or scp.

- filem\_rsh\_rsh

  The program used to remotely log into a given machine and remove files. Generally will be rsh or ssh.

### none FileM Component

The *none* component simply selects no FileM component. All of the FileM function calls return immediately with ORTE\_SUCCESS.

This component is the last component to be selected by default. This means that if another component is available, and the *none* component was not explicity requested then ORTE will attempt to activate all of the available components before falling back to this component.
