[MPICH] smpd error message on windows - Do you have sufficient privileges ?

[Richard Li]

I checked the registry on the machine which shows this error message and didn't see process entry under \software\mpich\smpd.
This is the case for all other machines used to run our MPI APP, but we didn't experience the same problem on those machines.

The MPICH2 package is installed on each machine using individual account which has local admin right and then we create a service account and use
mpiexec -register to register the service account on every machine for MPI run. What could be wrong here on this machine?

Thanks
Richard

Hi,
 MPICH2 uses this (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\mpich\smpd\process\) registry 
entry to store information (like the full path of the 
executable) pertaining to an MPI process created by the 
PM/smpd.
 Check 
to see if you have sufficient privileges (to access registry entries) on 
the machine where you are executing your MPI job.
 Since 
your program is executing correctly, the error could be during the cleanup of 
the registry entries. Please look into the process registry entries on the 
machine and let us know if it is clean.
 

1. Run 
"regedit.exe"
2. 
Check the values in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MPICH\SMPD\process  -- This should be clean (no entries) if there are no MPI processes 
running on the system. (Also right-click on the process entry and you will know 
more about the permissions allocated for the 
entry)
  
Regards,
Jayesh

  Hi,

I saw the following error message 
  when running our MPICH APP on windows.


  "unable to open the 
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\mpich\smpd\process\3884 registry error 5 acces 
  denied."


  While I don't believe that our APP  is affected by the error 
  message(everything seems to be OK and we get the results we want),
I would 
  like to make sure that nothing is going wrong. Does anyone have any idea what 
  that error message means and what its 
implications are 
  ?

Thanks

Richard
