(sorry for the delay in this reply; this mail came while I was at the MPI Forum
meeting. Travel always makes my disastrous INBOX even worse...)
As a bit of explanation, I can surmise part of what is happening here.
When you run on only one machine, the TCP communications plugin (i.e., the
"BTL") is not used -- only the shared memory (sm) BTL is used. Hence, you
don't see the warnings. That being said, you could force the TCP BTL to be
used instead of the sm BTL by using:
mpirun --mca btl tcp,self -np 2 my_test_program
When you run across multiple nodes, the TCP BTL is used by default. And
therefore these warnings come up.
These warnings refer to IP interfaces that Open MPI found that it doesn't
recognize. What is the output of ifconfig on your machine?
