[MPICH] setup and testing of smpd and mpiexec for MPICH2 under WinXP

[Jayesh Krishna]

Hi,
  Are you using the latest version of MPICH2 (1.0.6p1)? I would recommend
that you try installing the latest version of MPICH2 on your machine. (Are
there multiple versions of smpd/mpiexec on your machine ? Check the PATH and
make sure that you are running the right smpd/mpiexec.)
  Is there a reason you chose to run "smpd -install" (Instead of letting the
MPICH2 installer install SMPD as a service, which gets started when you
logon the next time)?
  Can you provide us the output of "smpd -status -d" ? Can you try "mpiexec
-n 1 dir" ?

Regards,

Jayesh

Subject: [MPICH] setup and testing of smpd and mpiexec for MPICH2 under
WinXP


Windows XP SP2 machine with Dual Core CPU
 
I have an MPICH2 application that was working correctly and now does not get
submitted.
I am trying to go back and test the smpd and mpiexec installations and
hitting some problems that I do not understand.
 
smpd -install
  starts an smpd process under user SYSTEM that seems to be running
 
smpd -status 
   starts another smpd process under my username but never returns a status;
basically just hangs at the command prompt
 
smpd -stop
   Stopping MPICH2 Process Manager, Argonne National
Lab...................................
   MPICH2 Process Manager, Argonne National Lab failed to stop.
 
I can kill the smpd  process from the Windows Task Manager
I will put the Debug output from "smpd -d"  below
 
mpiexec -validate -user USERNAME
   hangs at the command prompt without any further output
 
mpiexec -register
prompts for username and password which I can register and is confirmed as
"Password encrypted into the Registry."
 
a simple test like:
mpiexec  -timeout 20   -verbose   -n 1 ping
 
will just terminate due to the timeout
I will put the verbose output below  under the smpd debug
 
What am I missing?   Thanks for any assistance.
Regards,
Kim
