[mpich-discuss] Multi-homed system - specify "-ifhn" in machinefile

[Denis Lima]

Hello,

    Thanks for your quick reply, but today I solved this issue by setting the environment variable MPICH INTERFACE HOSTNAME with the local network interface ip address.

Regards,
Denis

  Hi,
   You can use the "-ifhn" option in the machinefile for specify the interface to be used for MPI communication.
   Let us know if it works for you.

  (Note: In the machinefile specify, HOSTNAME:<NUM_OF_PROCS> -ifhn <INTERFACE_IP_ADDR>. Now launch your MPI job with mpiexec using the "-machinefile" option)

  Regards,
  Jayesh

  Hello,

      I have an application running on 5 computers under Windows Xp, they all belong to two distinct networks.  One local (A) with only these computers, and the other one for file sharing (B) with other pcs. It doesn't matter if I specify the local ip (A) on the mpiexec -host argument the data exchange always happens on network B.  In the user's guide it says to use the argument --ifhn=<ip address> on the mpd.  Does the smpd service accept this argument?  Just configuring smpd with this argument in all computers enough to be able to run on network A?

  Thanks,
  Sorry about the english,
  Denis
