Howard Pritchard 39367ca0bf plm/alps: only use srun for Native SLURM
Turns out that the way the SLURM plm works
is not compatible with the way MPI processes
on Cray XC obtain RDMA credentials to use
the high speed network.  Unlike with ALPS,
the mpirun process is on the first compute
node in the job.  With the current PLM launch
system, mpirun (HNP daemon) launches the MPI
ranks on that node rather than relying on
srun.

This will probably require a significant amount
of effort to rework to support Native SLURM
on Cray XC's.  As a short term alternative,
have the alps plm (which gets selected by default
again on Cray systems regardless of the launch system)
check whether or not srun or alps is being used on the
system.  If alps is not being used, print a helpful
message for the user and abort the job launch.

[multiple-prefixes]
The ALPS process starter for Open MPI does not support multiple
different --prefix options to mpirun. You can specify at most one
unique value for the --prefix option (in any of the application
contexts); it will be applied to all the application contexts of your
parallel job.
Put simply, you must have Open MPI installed in the same location on
all of your ALPS nodes.
Multiple different --prefix options were specified to mpirun. This is
a fatal error for the ALPS process starter in Open MPI.
The first two prefix values supplied were:
%s
and %s
#
[no-hosts-in-list]
The ALPS process starter for Open MPI didn't find any hosts in
the map for this application. This can be caused by a lack of
an allocation, or by an error in the Open MPI code. Please check
to ensure you have a ALPS allocation. If you do, then please pass
the error to the Open MPI user's mailing list for assistance.

[slurm-not-supported]
mpirun is not a supported launcher on Cray XC using Native SLURM.
srun must be used to launch jobs on these systems.
