[mpich-discuss] seek help on mpi- mpich

Hi,

>> mpiexec -machinefile mf.txt helloCluster.exe

 If you do not specify the number of MPI processes only 1 MPI process is launched. Use the "-n" option to specify the number of MPI processes required for the job (mpiexec -n 2 -machinefile mf.txt helloCluster.exe).

>> ...when I right-click to choose "run as administrator" ...

 Which program are you referring ? Are you running all the commands from an administrator command prompt (In Vista even a user with admin privileges opens a command prompt it is not an elevated command prompt. In Vista to open an administrator/elevated command prompt right-click on the command prompt icon and select "run as administrator". Run all the commands on Vista from an administrator command prompt and see if it works)?

Regards,
Jayesh

Hello and thank for your suppot..

yes. I tried create new user (mpiuser) with administrator privilege, the
other are other windows user with limited privilege.
then I registered mpiuser using mpiexec with password. but the validate part
fail as following error.

>Error during CryptEncrypt: Unknown failure 234
> unable to encrypt the password for the validate command.

but it can lauch mpi locally but only run on master node (which is in this
case xp machine) if >>mpiexec -machinefile mf.txt helloCluster.exe


fyi, when I right-click to choose "run as administrator" there are two
option user provided.
 either to choose (domain\username) or administrator. (see the attachment:
image on run as administrator option). This is also happen to my vista
machine.

i am using xp sp2, and vista home premiun sp2

additionally, I also have read your comment in mpich-discuss but  cannot
refer the documentation (usually suggested by you on the installation guide)
at
http://www.mcs.anl.gov/research/projects/mpich2/documentation/index.php?s=
it is not available.
