Hello again,
I believe my administrator has opened the ports I requested. The problem I am
having now is that OpenMPI is not listening to my defined port assignments in
openmpi-mca-params.conf (looks like permission 644 on those files should it be
755?)
When I perform netstat -ltnup I see that orted is listening 14 processes in tcp
but scaterred in the 26000ish port range when I specified 60001-60016 in the
mca-params file. Is there a parameter I am missing? In any case I am still
hanging as mentioned originally even with the port forwarding enabled and
specifications in mca-param enabled.
Any other ideas on what might be causing the hang? Is there a more verbose mode
I can employ to see more deeply into the issue? I have run --debug-daemons and
--mca plm_base_verbose 99.
Thanks!

Thanks for your expeditious responses, Ralph.
Just to confirm with you, I should change openmpi-mca-params.conf to include:
oob_tcp_port_min_v4 = (My minimum port in the range)
oob_tcp_port_range_v4 = (My port range)
btl_tcp_port_min_v4 = (My minimum port in the range)
btl_tcp_port_range_v4 = (My port range)
correct?
Also, for a cluster of around 32-64 processes (8 processors per node), how wide
of a range will I require? I've noticed some entries in the mailing list
suggesting you need a few to get started and then it opens as necessary. Will I
be safe with 20 or should I go for 100?
Thanks again for all of your help!

Problem isn't with ssh - the problem is that the daemons need to open a TCP
connection back to the machine where mpirun is running. If the firewall blocks
that connection, then we can't run.
If you can get a range of ports opened, then you can specify the ports OMPI
should use for this purpose. If the sysadmin won't allow even that, then you
are pretty well hosed.

Yes, there is a system firewall. I don't think the sysadmin will allow it to go
disabled. Each Linux machine
has the built-in RHEL firewall. SSH is enabled through the firewall though.

It looks like the remote daemon is starting - is there a firewall in the way?

Hello all,
I am using OpenMPI 1.4.2 on RHEL. I have a cluster of AMD Opteron's and right
now I am just working on getting OpenMPI itself up and running. I have a
successful configure and make all install. LD_LIBRARY_PATH and PATH variables
were correctly edited. mpirun -np 8 hello_c successfully works on all machines.
I have setup my two test machines with DSA key pairs that successfully work
with each other.
The problem comes when I initiate my hostfile to attempt to communicate across
machines. The hostfile is setup correctly with <host_name> <slots> <max-slots>.
When running with all verbose options enabled "mpirun --mca plm_base_verbose 99
--debug-daemons --mca btl_base_verbose 30 --mca oob_base_verbose 99 --mca
pml_base_verbose 99 -hostfile hostfile -np 16 hello_c" I receive the following
text
output.

Daemon [[1418,0],1] checking in as pid 1962 on host machine2
Daemon [[1418,0],1] not using static ports
At this point the system hangs indefinitely. While running top on the machine2
terminal, I see several things come up briefly. These items are: sshd (root),
tcsh (myuser), orted (myuser), and mcstransd (root). I was wondering if sshd
needs to be initiated by myuser? It is currently turned off in sshd_config
through UsePAM yes. This was setup by the sysadmin but it can be worked around
if this is necessary.
So in summary, mpirun works on each machine individually, but hangs when
initiated through a hostfile or with the -host flag. ./configure with defaults
and --prefix. LD_LIBRARY_PATH and PATH set up correctly. Any help is
appreciated. Thanks!
