[mpich-discuss] Cannot use the main node to run a process of the programme

[Jayesh Krishna]

Hi,
 You should be able to use all the nodes (with MPICH2 installed) for
running your job (i.e., You should be able to use the main node to run
your MPI processes).
 If you are using a shared drive to run your program you should map the
drive on all the nodes using the "-map" option of mpiexec (see the windows
developer's guide, available at
http://www.mcs.anl.gov/research/projects/mpich2/documentation/index.php?s=
docs, for details)
 
Regards,
Jayesh

Subject: [mpich-discuss] Cannot use the main node to run a process of the
programme


Hi all,

I'm using MPICH2 in Windows.
I can run my programme without errors if I don't use the machine in which
I execute the command (Main node).

mpiexec -channel ssm -n 3 -exitcodes -machinefile "c:\Program
Files\MPICH2\bin\hosts.txt" -wdir //10.8.102.27/ClusterShared GBMTest

If I use the main node also to execute one of the 3 processes, then it
gives the error below. But it prints the output I wanted too. then it
gives the error.
I wanted to know whether this is an issue with my programme(GBMTest) or I
cant use the main node to run the process.
In the machinefile I have included three machines. 
10.8.102.28
10.8.102.30
10.8.102.27 (main node)

This works fine if I remove the main node and add another node instead.

this is the error.
