Using any of the names will result in exactly identical behavior. . .\" ************************** .\" Synopsis Section .\" ************************** .SH SYNOPSIS . .B ompi-restart .R [ options ] .B . .\" ************************** .\" Options Section .\" ************************** .SH Options . \fIompi-restart\fR will attempt to restart a previously checkpointed parallel job from the global snapshot handle reference returned by \fIompi_checkpoint\fP. . .TP 10 .B The global snapshot handle reference returned by \fIompi_checkpoint\fP, used to restart the job. This is required to be the last argument to this command. . . .TP .B -h | --help Display help for this command . . .TP .B -p | --preload Preload the checkpoint files on the remote systems before restarting the application. Disabled by default. . . .TP .B --fork Fork off a new process, which is the restarted process. By default, the restarted process will replace \fIompi-restart\fR. . . .TP .B -s | --seq The sequence number of the checkpoint to restart from. By default, the most recent sequence number is used (specified by -1). . . .TP .B -hostfile | --hostfile The hostfile from which to restart the application. Useful in unscheduled environments. (Same behavior as --machinefile option) . . .TP .B -machinefile | --machinefile The machinefile from which to restart the application. Useful in unscheduled environments. (Same behavior as --hostfile option) . . .TP .B -v | --verbose Enable verbose output for debugging. . . .TP .B -gmca | --gmca \fR \fP Pass global MCA parameters that are applicable to all contexts. \fI\fP is the parameter name; \fI\fP is the parameter value. . . .TP .B -mca | --mca Send arguments to various MCA modules. . . .\" ************************** .\" Description Section .\" ************************** .SH DESCRIPTION . .PP \fIompi-restart\fR can be invoked multiple, non-overlapping times. This allows the user to restart a previously running parallel job. . . .\" ************************** .\" See Also Section .\" ************************** . .SH SEE ALSO orte-ps(1), orte-clean(1), ompi-checkpoint(1), opal-checkpoint(1), opal-restart(1), opal_crs(7) .
