Dear Experts,

I want use two PCs to run parallel. Fedora 12 and OpenFOAM-1.7.0 are installed on both machines.

They have passwordless ssh connection with each other.

By using:

mpirun --hostfile ~/hosts.txt -np 8 pisoFoam -parallel

nothing happened and terminal was freezed, by using Ctrl+C the error which be appeared was:

[ssedt@ssedt4 bfs-maysam]$ mpirun --hostfile /home/ssedt/OpenFOAM/ssedt-1.7.0/run/bfs-maysam/hosts.txt -n 8 pisoFoam -parallel  
^Cmpirun: killing job...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
mpirun noticed that the job aborted, but has no info as to the process
that caused that situation.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
mpirun was unable to cleanly terminate the daemons on the nodes shown
below. Additional manual cleanup may be required - please refer to
the "orte-clean" tool for assistance.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    ssedt2 - daemon did not report back when launched

Both machine have same OS, OpenFOAM path and username.
I have searched a lot but there is not any suitable guide about OpenFOAM parallel available.

Any help will be appreciated
Regards.

Check this post:

I saw the similar problem. The solution might be the fix for you.

Thanks.

Greetings to both!

@Maysam: I've been tracking the questions you've been making about running in parallel, but I haven't found the time to answer you. But in the meantime, if the thread Pkr pointed to isn't enough, then check this:

Dear pkr and Bruno,
Thanks a lot for your helps.

This command solved the problem:

mpirun --mca btl_tcp_if_exclude lo,virbr0 -hostfile machines -np 2 /home/rphull/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.6/bin/foamExec interFoam -parallel

Dear pkr,

Are you able to solve your problem? I mean have you been successful in connecting 2 machines till now?
