[MPICH] mpdcheck failure

[Cavey, Lester]

We are still getting the same 'No route to host.' error (see below).
Our IT guy and I listed our machines names (in lowercase, if that
matters) with the DNS server.  /etc/hosts contains each machine's IP
address, full name, and alias.  /etc/mpd.hosts contains each machine's
full name (in a separate test, we just listed the aliases, but it made
no difference in the results).  DHCP automatically detects our DNS
server (we can access the internet from the machines and browse with
Firefox).  We can ssh between machines okay.  Any ideas on why we are
still getting the error message?
 
Thanks,
Lester
 
Thanks.  I've asked our IT guy to check on getting our machines names
listed with our DNS server, in the hope that this will get us closer to
overcoming the error.
 
Thanks,
Lester

This part:
     socket.error: (113, 'No route to host') is telling you that
VA90DTEST01 cannot obtain info about VA90DTEST02 where the server is
running.
mpdcheck is NOT an mpi program.  Running with the -s and -c options, it
is acting as an ordinary program that is server on one host and client
on the other.  But, the connect system call is failing because there is
no route info.  This means that there are host and/ or net config
problems.  These problems are not mpi (or mpd) specific.  They could
affect any client/ server programs.
