-noprompt argument gives 'unrecognized argument' when running mpiexec from Intel MPI 2021.11

hveaster — Tue, 16 Jan 2024 11:18:18 GMT

If I run the following command:

mpiexec -noprompt -np2 HOSTNAME

on my Windows 11 machine, I get the following error:

The following occurs if I run with versions 2021.11.0 and 2019.10.321, but not with version 2018.3.210.

The error is suggesting that the -noprompt argument is no longer used, but it is still documented in the online help. Is this a bug or am I just using the argument incorrectly?

Hello @hveaster
-nopromt in the help / documentation is indeed a left over from previous versions and was removed when we introduced the new authentication method described here:
https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/docs/mpi-library/developer-guide-windows/2021-11/user-authorization.html

-nopromt will be removed from the docs, sorry for the inconvenience.
