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

Hi,
 You might also want to check with the mcnpx developers if they have seen the error message (You should mention that you can run cpi.exe with the same command).

Regards,
Jayesh

-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).

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!
