Do you have the Linux firewall running on either of your machines, perchance? This can either block random socket connections between nodes (which Open MPI's TCP communication will use) or eat the connection requests in a black-hole fashion such that the connections will timeout.

Hello

I'm running an FDTD programm (meep) using open-mpi on a mini-cluster consisting of 2 computers. Since the exchange of the mainbord on the node (with an identical one as before) I have a problem. I can't find the change in the configurations which is now causing the problen.

Here's my problem:
I can start the meep application by mpi-run on each node individually and the program runs without any problems. However when I try to run the program distributed over both computers I get at some point the following error message: ...[0,1,1][btl_tcp_endpoint.c: 572:mca_btl_tcp_endpoint_complete_connect] connect() failed with errno=110
Which translates by Perl as: Connection timed out at -e line 1.

However I can't figure out where the problem lies in my network configuration. SSH tunnels from one computer to another works. I also can reach the internet from the node.

In the attached archive there's the config.log from the top open-mpi tree, there's the output of ompi_info --all and there's the network configuration of both computers.

I'm really greatfull for any help. Thank you!

Best regards
Roland Albrecht
