Hi Todd To help us provide advice, could you tell us what version of OpenMPI you are using?
Meantime, try adding ³-mca pls_rsh_num_concurrent 200² to your mpirun command line. You can up the number of concurrent daemons we launch to anything your system will support basically, we limit the number only because some systems have limits on the number of ssh calls we can have active at any one time. Because we hold stdio open when running with debug-daemons, the number of concurrent daemons must match or exceed the number of nodes you are trying to launch on. I have a ³fix² in the works that will help relieve some of that restriction, but that won¹t come out until a later release. Hopefully, that will allow you to obtain more debug info about why/where things are hanging.
