[mpich-discuss] MPICH2 Errors running MCNPX-SMPDU connect failed?

-It is a 32 bit Windows XP Pro system and I am only trying to run on the
local system.

-I read through the manual and found that MPICH2 only uses TCP protocols
so I briefly allowed all TCP ports and IP addresses. But I still had the
same errors when I executed MCNPX.

-CPI and MCNPX have the same privileges, except I could not modify
MCNPX's by click on the check boxes- they were grayed out.  But the same
boxes were checked for each group or user name.  At minimum all users
could read & execute applications.

-My firewall only allows me to make exceptions for particular protocols
like TCP, UDP, etc., so I could not explicitly allow MCNPX exe file
through firewall.  

Just to give you a bit more information in the hopes that it may trigger
new ideas:

-Desktop computer is setup with to be on a the parsons.com Domain but is
not actively on the "Parsons" network (since I work remotely).  I
mention this because the error I receive is "PMI_ConnectToHost failed:
unable to post a connect to PBRFPNM1.Parsons.com"
-Computer receives internet connection from a router with its own
firewall that I have assumed does not affect what I am doing.
-I am getting a new firewall program tomorrow! 


Anything else I should try?

Hi,

# Is your machine 32-bit or 64-bit (You seem to be running a 32-bit
version of mcnp)?
# Try adding an exception for the executable
(C:\MCNP\mcnp5\bin\MCNPX27mpi_Win32.exe) in your firewall.
# Do the executables "C:\Documents and
Settings\p0038192\Desktop\Testcpi" and
"C:\MCNP\mcnp5\bin\MCNPX27mpi_Win32.exe" have different privileges?
# For more information on how MPICH2 can work with firewalls see Section
9.5 of the Windows developer's guide
(http://www.mcs.anl.gov/research/projects/mpich2/documentation/index.php
?s=docs).

Regards,
Jayesh

I have not been able to disable firewalls yet but here are the results
of your other requests.  Commands give similar results.  What exactly
needs to go through the firewalls?  I can add exceptions and  modify
both of the firewalls.  I just have not figured out how to temporarily
disable them for testings.  I have request with our IT department for
that.  Any other ideas?  Thanks for the fast response!!!

Hi,
 Some suggestions,

# Make sure that any firewall running on the machine is turned off # In
the step where Testcpi is run (c:\mcnp\mcnp5\bin>"C:\Program
Files\MPICH2\bin\mpiexec.exe" -hosts 1 PBRFPNM1 20 C:\Documents and
Settings\p0038192\Desktop\Testcpi ), try specifying a "number of
intervals" other than 0 and see if it works.
# Try specifying the ipaddress of "PBRFPNM1" in the mpiexec command
(instead of "PBRFPNM1").

 Let us know the results.

Regards,
Jayesh

I am in the process of trying to run a version of software that has is
widely distributed and was compiled to be run with MPICH2. I have been
running around in circles trying to figure out why I am not having
success running the software with multiple processors and I though this
group might be able to help me. Below are the results of a series of
commands that I copied and pasted from the DOS window. Everything seems
to be working as expected until I try to execute the MCNPX software. CPI
examples ramps up to nearly 100% CPU usage. 



I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling MPICH2, using an admin
command prompt. SMPD and MPIEXEC.exe have been added as exceptions
through the windows firewall although I am not sure how much windows is
actually blocking because my company uses Trend MICRO Officescan and it
has its own firewall. I have found that adding SMPD and MPIEXEC as
exceptions through the windows firewall does not have an effect on the
errors I am receiving. I am running low on ideas right now, and any
help? 



Here are the results from the command prompt. Thanks in advanced!
