Check to ensure that you have firewalls disabled between your two machines;
that's a common cause of hanging (i.e., Open MPI is trying to open connections
and/or send data between your two nodes, and the packets are getting
black-holed at the other side).
Open MPI needs to be able to communicate on random TCP ports between all
machines that will be used in MPI jobs.
Thanks!!! After switching iptables off on all the machines, I got it
working:
[mpiuser@fantomfs40a ~]$ mpirun -np 8 --machinefile
/home/mpiuser/.mpi_hostfile ./test/mpihello
Hello world! I am process number: 0 on host fantomfs40a
Hello world! I am process number: 1 on host fantomfs40a
Hello world! I am process number: 2 on host hp430a
Hello world! I am process number: 3 on host hp430a
Hello world! I am process number: 4 on host hp430a
Hello world! I am process number: 5 on host hp430a
Hello world! I am process number: 6 on host hp430b
Hello world! I am process number: 7 on host hp430b
Thanks so much for all the answers/suggestions. I am excited now :).

Hi again,
Somehow the verbose flag (-v) did not work for me. I tried --debug-daemon and
got:
[mpiuser@fantomfs40a ~]$ mpirun --debug-daemons -np 3 --machinefile
/home/mpiuser/.mpi_hostfile ./test/mpihello
Daemon was launched on hp430a - beginning to initialize
Daemon [[34432,0],1] checking in as pid 3011 on host hp430a
<stuck here>
Somehow the program got stuck when checking on hosts. The secure log on hp430a
showed that mpiuser logged in just fine:
tail /var/log/secure
Jun 7 17:07:31 hp430a sshd[3007]: Accepted publickey for mpiuser from
192.168.0.101 port 34037 ssh2
Jun 7 17:07:31 hp430a sshd[3007]: pam_unix(sshd:session): session opened for
user mpiuser by (uid=0)
Any idea where/how/what to process/check?
Thanks,

Hello Duke,
Welcome to the forum.
The way openmpi schedules by default is to fill all the slots in a host, before
moving on to next host.
Check this link for some info:
http://www.open-mpi.org/faq/?category=running#mpirun-scheduling
Thanks for quick answer. I checked the FAQ, and tried with processes more than
2, but somehow it got stalled:
[mpiuser@fantomfs40a ~]$ mpirun -v -np 4 --machinefile
/home/mpiuser/.mpi_hostfile ./test/mpihello
^Cmpirun: killing job...
I tried --host flag and it got stalled as well:
[mpiuser@fantomfs40a ~]$ mpirun -v -np 4 --host hp430a,hp430b ./test/mpihello
My configuration must be wrong somewhere. Anyidea how I can check the system?
Thanks,
D.

Hi folks,
Please be gentle to the newest member of openMPI, I am totally new to this
field. I just built a test cluster with 3 boxes on Scientific Linux 6.2 and
openMPI (Open MPI 1.5.3), and I wanted to test how the cluster works but I cant
figure out what was/is happening. On my master node, I have the hostfile:
[mpiuser@fantomfs40a ~]$ cat .mpi_hostfile
# The Hostfile for Open MPI
fantomfs40a slots=2
hp430a slots=4 max-slots=4
hp430b slots=4 max-slots=4
To test, I used the following c code:
[mpiuser@fantomfs40a ~]$ cat test/mpihello.c
/* program hello */
/* Adapted from mpihello.f by drs */
#include<mpi.h>
#include<stdio.h>
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
int *buf, i, rank, nints, len;
char hostname[256];
MPI_Init(&argc,&argv);
MPI_Comm_rank(MPI_COMM_WORLD,&rank);
gethostname(hostname,255);
printf("Hello world! I am process number: %d on host %s\n", rank, hostname);
MPI_Finalize();
return 0;
}
and then compiled and ran:
[mpiuser@fantomfs40a ~]$ mpicc -o test/mpihello test/mpihello.c
[mpiuser@fantomfs40a ~]$ mpirun -np 2 --machinefile /home/mpiuser/.mpi_hostfile
./test/mpihello
Hello world! I am process number: 0 on host fantomfs40a
Hello world! I am process number: 1 on host fantomfs40a
Unfortunately the result did not show what I wanted. I expected to see
somethign like:
Hello world! I am process number: 0 on host hp430a
Hello world! I am process number: 1 on host hp430b
Anybody has any idea what I am doing wrong?
Thank you in advance,
D.
