Requirements for HP-MPI v2.2.5 for
Linux & HP MLIB v9.6 for Itanium
Linux
The basic requirements for installing the HP-MPI v2.2.5 & HP
MLIB v9.6 DVD on Linux systems are as follows:
HP-MPI for Linux Version 2.2.5
HP-MPI for Linux Version 2.2.5 is supported on HP ProLiant and
HP Integrity servers running Red Hat Linux Enterprise AS 3
and 4, or SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 and 10 operating
systems; as well as HP XC3000, HP XC4000, and HP XC6000
clusters. HP-MPI for Linux Version 2.2.5 was tested with the
Intel, Portland, Pathscale, and GNU compilers, but is not
compiler dependent.
9
HP MLIB for Itanium Linux Version 9.6
HP MLIB for Itanium Linux Version 9.6 is supported on Red Hat
Linux Enterprise 3 and 4 operating systems on Itanium
processors.

Licensing Policy
Licenses can be purchased from HP’s software depot at
http://www.hp.com/go/softwaredepot, or contact your HP
representative.
HP-MPI for Linux Licensing Policy
HP-MPI 2.2.5 for Linux uses FLEXlm licensing technology. A
license is required to use HP-MPI for Linux. Licenses can be
purchased from HP’s software depot at
http://www.hp.com/go/softwaredepot, or contact your HP
representative. Demo licenses for HP-MPI are also available
from HP’s software depot.
IMPORTANT
No license is required for HP XC systems
because the XC system license is used.
A license file can be named either as license.dat or any file
name with an extension of .lic. The license file must be placed
11
in the installation directory (default /opt/hpmpi/licenses) on
all the runtime systems, and on the license server.
You will need to provide the hostname and hostid number of the
system where the FLEXlm daemon for HP-MPI for Linux will
run. The hostid, which is the MAC address of eth0, can be
obtained either by typing the following command if HP-MPI is
already installed on the system:
% /opt/hpmpi/bin/licensing/<arch>/lmutil lmhostid
Or:
% /sbin/ifconfig | egrep "^eth0" | awk'{print $5}' |
sed s/://g
The hostname can be obtained by entering the command
hostname.
The default search path used to find an MPI license file is:
% $MPI_ROOT/licenses:/opt/hpmpi/licenses:.
For example, if MPI_ROOT=/home/hpmpi, license files will be
searched in the following order:
/home/hpmpi/licenses/license.dat
/home/hpmpi/licenses/*.lic
12
/opt/hpmpi/licenses/license.dat
/opt/hpmpi/licenses/*.lic
./license.dat
./*.lic
If the license needs to be placed in another location which would
not be found by the above search, the user may set the
environment variable LM_LICENSE_FILE to explicitly specify the
location of the license file.
For more information, see http://licensing.hp.com.
Installing License Files
A valid license file contains the system hostid and the associated
license key. License files can be named either as license.dat or
any name with extension of *.lic (like mpi.lic, for example).
The license file must be copied to the installation directory
(default /opt/hpmpi/licenses) on all runtime systems, and to
the license server.
The command to run the license server is:
% $MPI_ROOT/bin/licensing/<arch>/lmgrd -c mpi.lic
13
License Testing
Build and run the hello_world program in
$MPI_ROOT/help/hello_world.c to check for a license. If your
system is not properly licensed, you will receive an error
message.
Merging HP-MPI Licenses
Newer HP-MPI licenses use the INCREMENT feature which
allows separate HP-MPI licenses to be used in combination by
concatenating files. For example:
License 1:
SERVER myserver 0014c2c1f34a
DAEMON HPQ
INCREMENT HP-MPI HPQ 1.0 permanent 8
9A40ECDE2A38 \
NOTICE="License Number = AAAABBBB1111"
SIGN=E5CEDE3E5626
License 2:
SERVER myserver 0014c2c1f34a
DAEMON HPQ
INCREMENT HP-MPI HPQ 1.0 permanent 16
14
BE468B74B592 \
NOTICE="License Number = AAAABBBB2222"
SIGN=9AB4034C6CB2
Here, License 1 is for 8 ranks, and License 2 is for 16 ranks. The
two licenses can be combined into a single file:
SERVER myserver 0014c2c1f34a
DAEMON HPQ
INCREMENT HP-MPI HPQ 1.0 permanent 8 9A40ECDE2A38 \
NOTICE="License Number = AAAABBBB1111"
SIGN=E5CEDE3E5626
SERVER myserver 0014c2c1f34a
DAEMON HPQ
INCREMENT HP-MPI HPQ 1.0 permanent 16 BE468B74B592 \
NOTICE="License Number = AAAABBBB2222"
SIGN=9AB4034C6CB2
The result is a valid license for 24 ranks.
HP MLIB for Itanium Linux Licensing Policy
HP MLIB V9.4 and earlier versions for Linux were available in
demo mode and required a license key for full performance. This
version does not require a license key for full performance, and
15
the demo mode is no longer available. HP MLIB for Itanium®
Linux Version 9.6 can be installed and used without any license
key. However, as in the past, users are still required to purchase
a license certificate in order to have the right to use the HP
MLIB product.
