<br>MPIEXEC 392 error says no msg recvd from mpd when expecting ack of request. So I am thinking that it could be taking very very long to receive acknowledgement of request while the MPIEXEC_RECV_TIMEOUT value is too low. Hence that causes the mpiexec 392 error in my case. I am using a virtual network adapter and not physical Gigabit network adapter.<br>

<br>薛正华 (ID: <span></span>zhxue123) from China reported solving the mpiexec 392 error. According to 薛正华, the cause of the mpiexec 392 error is the absence of high performance network in his environment. He had changed the default communication method from nemesis to ssm and also increased the value of MPIEXEC_RECV_TIMEOUT in the mpiexec.py python source code.

have access to the MPICH2 binaries by mounting NFS share from node 1. Please

6 F11 linux PV guests to simulate 6 HPC compute nodes. The network adapter

anything.<br><br>According to Appendix A troubleshooting section of the MPICH2
install guide, I have verified that the 2-node test scenario with "mpdcheck
-s" and "mpdcheck -c" is working. The 2 nodes each acting as server and client
respectively can communicate with each other without problems. Both nodes can
communicate with each other in server and client modes respectively. I have
also tested mpdboot with the 2-node scenario and the ring of mpd is
working.<br><br>After the troubleshooting process, I have successfully created
a ring of mpd involving 6 compute nodes. "mpdtrace -l" successfully lists all
the 6 nodes. However, when I want to run a job with mpiexec, it gives me the
following error:<br><br>[enming@enming-f11-pv-hpc-node0001 ~]$ mpiexec -n 2
examples/cpi<br>mpiexec_enming-f11-pv-hpc-node0001 (mpiexec 392): no msg recvd
from mpd when expecting ack of request<br><br>I have also tried starting the
mpd ring with the root user but I still encounter the same error
above.<br><br>Thank you.<br><br>PS. config.log is also attached.<br clear="all"><br>-- <br>Mr. Teo En Ming (Zhang Enming) Dip(Mechatronics)
