[mpich-discuss] FW: How to use MPICH2 to run a MPI application across two Windows XP machines?

[Jayesh Krishna]

 Hi,
  The error message says that the job launcher, mpiexec, was not able to
contact the process manager, smpd, running on machine2.
  Make sure that you install MPICH2 on all the machines/hosts/nodes
involved in the MPI job.
  Also make sure that you disable windows firewall (or any 3rd party
firewalls) on all the nodes. You can alternately refer to the section
"Runtime environment --> firewalls" in the windows developer's guide
(http://www.mcs.anl.gov/research/projects/mpich2/documentation/index.php?s
=docs) to configure the windows firewall for MPICH2.
  Let us know if it works for you.

Regards,
Jayesh

Hi,  Everybody, I am a new comer here and I am interested to know more
about MPICH2.

Here is what I came across when I was trying to run a MPI application
across two Windows XP computers:
I use the command, machine 1 is my local machine and machin 2 is a remote
one.

mpiexec -hosts 2 machine1 machine2 myapp.exe

Then the error message is:
MPIDU_Sock_Post_Connect<1228>: Unable to connect to machine2 on port 8676.
MPIDU_Sock_Post_Connect<1275>: A connection attempt failed because the
connected party did not actively respond after a period of time.

Can anyone tell me how can I deal with it?
Thanks a lot.

Thanks and Regards
Sincerely Yours
Jeffrey
