Hi Jeff, Here are last night's reults of the following command on my 15 node cluster. One node is down from 16. mpirun --mca pml teg --mca btl_tcp_if_include eth1,eth0 --hostfile aa -np 15 ./xhpl No errors were spewed out to stdout as per my previous post when using btl tcp and btl_tcp_if_inc

Allan, If there are 2 Ethernet cards it's better if you can point to the one you want to use. For that you can modify the .openmpi/mca-params.conf file in your home directory. All of the options can go in this file so you will not have to specify them on the mpirun command every time. I give
