[mpich-discuss] seek help on mpi- mpich

[Jayesh Krishna]

Hi,

>> so, i am using the second administrator on both machine (they have the same passwd) to register...

 As I mentioned before try registering a username different from the "Administrator".
 Please follow the steps below,

1) On the XP machine & the Vista machine create a user, "mpiuser", with the same password (As I mentioned before do not register "Administrator" with mpiexec).
2) Register & Validate "mpiuser" on each machine.
3) Test whether the user, "mpiuser" can launch MPI processes locally on each machine.
4) Run your job across the XP & Vista machines and see if it works.

Regards,
Jayesh

Hello again,

Yeah,  At the first place I've done that (the same windows user/same
password with administrator privileges both on XP and Vista).
As I emailed to you,
  in XP, there are 2 windows user 1) hpxp (user with administrator
privileges)  2) Administrator (administrator privileges)
  in Vista, There are also 2 windows user 1) user (administrator
privileges)   2) Administrator (administrator privileges)
so, i am using the second administrator on both machine (they have the same
passwd) to register username/password with mpiexec which as follows:

Eventhough I cannot validate, but I can run the MPI program from 1 node or
multithreading.
result :
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\myPar>mpiexec
-machinefile mf.txt helloCluster.exe

in both machine.

The firewalls are all off.
Currently, I tried to change the administrator privileges on user hpxp on
XP, but it disables me to change the role to user privilege, so that I only
have 1 administrator privileges. in vista, it can be done easily, will let
you know later.
before that,  do you have any suggestions please?

thanks Mr Jayesh.
