Hi..

I'm relatively new to using OpenFOAM, especially using the cluster that has been put at my disposal.. It's a rather small cluster, consisting of 5 nodes with 2 processors each.. I've read in the user manual about decomposing the domain, and i have done so, using decomposePar, and this dict-file:

// Mesh decomposition control dictionary

// * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * //

FoamFile
{
version 0.5;
format ascii;

root "ROOT";
case "CASE";
instance "system";
local "";

class dictionary;

object decompositionDict;
}

// * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * //

numberOfSubdomains 4;

//method simple;
method hierarchical;
//method metis;
//method manual;

simpleCoeffs
{
n (2 2 1);
delta 0.001;
}

hierarchicalCoeffs
{
n (2 2 1);
delta 0.001;
order xyz;
}

manualCoeffs
{
dataFile "decompositionData";
}




Thereafter i have made a hostfile (called 'machines'), listing the two nodes I would like to test on:

i14cluster-21 cpu=2
i14cluster-22 cpu=2

I've copied the case and the hostfile to the cluster-master, and via ssh I log into it.. From there do a mpirun like this:

mpirun --hostfile machines -np 4 turbFoam-vt . mesh2 -parallel

(I've edited the turbfoam for variable timesteps, and renamed it, but that part works smoothly)

But when I do this, I get an error:

[tepe3-1@i14cluster Cases]$ mpirun --hostfile machines -np 4 turbFoam_vt . mesh2
-parallel
tepe3-1@i14cluster-21's password: tepe3-1@i14cluster-22's password:

Can anybody give me a hint of what I'm doing wrong?

Hi Mark,

1. try parallel running on ONE node! if it works try.

2. check if you have set up passwordless ssh to the nodes

3. check if your home with your case is available on every node (usually shared raid e.g. through NFS)

4. check if compiled and or linked your mpi-lib, e.g. openmpi-1.2.6 or vendors mpi
