Thanks.

I think I figured out the problem. I found that in my .ssh/ known_hosts there were several "bad" keys associated with some of the machines in the gridengine pool. My hypothesis is that when mpirun was establishing the connection topology of the processes there was some process pairs that failed to complete the connection due to the bad ssh keys. I don't have explicit evidence for this since there was no ssh error output generated.

I generated new keys for all the amd64 machines in the gridengine pool for which there was an offending key. Now my job runs with a set of machines that includes ones that had previously failed. I will assume for now that the problem is fixed.

Hi Tim,

You could try setting -mca pls_gridengine_verbose 1 to show whether SGE
is able to start the ORTE daemons on the remote nodes successfully.

It seems you are having the problem previously asked by another user,
Perhaps you may want to follow this thread and check your ifconfig
settings to see if anything suspicious?

My 2 cents...

Greetings,

I am using OpenMPI v1.2.3 via SGE on a network of amd64
workstations.  When mpirun tries to start the processes on certain
nodes I get the following error output.

[sr70][0,1,2][btl_tcp_endpoint.c:
572:mca_btl_tcp_endpoint_complete_connect] connect() failed with
errno=111
[sr71][0,1,3][btl_tcp_endpoint.c:
572:mca_btl_tcp_endpoint_complete_connect] connect() failed with
errno=111

Using perl -e 'die$!=111' I see that the error message is "Connection
refused". I am able to connect to both nodes in question via ssh and/
or rsh.  I changed btl_base_debug to 2, but that did not provide
additional information.

What are some possible issues that might be causing this?  What can I
do to get more information?

Thanks,
~Tim
