To determine if an MPI process is waiting for a message do what Rayson suggested and attach a debugger to the processes and see if any of them are stuck in MPI. Either internally in a MPI_Recv or MPI_Wait call or looping on a MPI_Test call.

Other things to consider.
  Is this the first time you've ran it (with Open MPI? with any MPI?)?
How many processes is the job using? Are you oversubscribing your processors?
  What version of Open MPI are you using?
  Have you tested all network connections?
It might help us to know the size of cluster you are running and what type of network?

Dear Rayson,

That is a Nuemrical model that is written by National weather service of a country. The logs of the model show every detail about the simulation progress. I have checked on the remote nodes as well the application binary is running but the logs show no progress, it is just waiting at a point. The input data is correct everything is fine. How can I check if the MPI task is waiting for a message?

    Seems like there's a bug in the application. Did you or someone else
    write it, or did you get it from an ISV??

    You can log onto one of the nodes, attach a debugger, and see if the
    MPI task is waiting for a message (looping in one of the MPI receive
    functions)...
