This is very odd -- the default value for btl_tcp_port_min_v4 is 1024. So unless you have overridden this value, you should not be getting a port less than 1024. You can run this to see:
ompi_info --level 9 --param btl tcp --parsable | grep port_min_v4 Mine says this in a default 1.7.5 installation: mca:btl:tcp:param:btl_tcp_port_min_v4:value:1024 mca:btl:tcp:param:btl_tcp_port_min_v4:source:default mca:btl:tcp:param:btl_tcp_port_min_v4:status:writeable mca:btl:tcp:param:btl_tcp_port_min_v4:level:2 mca:btl:tcp:param:btl_tcp_port_min_v4:help:The minimum port where the TCP BTL will try to bind (default 1024) mca:btl:tcp:param:btl_tcp_port_min_v4:deprecated:no mca:btl:tcp:param:btl_tcp_port_min_v4:type:int mca:btl:tcp:param:btl_tcp_port_min_v4:disabled:false On Mar 25, 2014, at 5:36 AM, Hamid Saeed <e.hamidsa...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hello, > Thanks i figured out what was the exact problem in my case. > Now i am using the following execution line. > it is directing the mpi comm port to start from 10000... > > mpiexec -n 2 --host karp,wirth --mca btl ^openib --mca btl_tcp_if_include br0 > --mca btl_tcp_port_min_v4 10000 ./a.out > > and every thing works again. > > Thanks. > > Best regards. > > > > > On Tue, Mar 25, 2014 at 10:23 AM, Hamid Saeed <e.hamidsa...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hello, > I am not sure what approach does the MPI communication follow but when i > use > --mca btl_base_verbose 30 > > I observe the mentioned port. > > [karp:23756] btl: tcp: attempting to connect() to address 134.106.3.252 on > port 4 > [karp][[4612,1],0][btl_tcp_endpoint.c:655:mca_btl_tcp_endpoint_complete_connect] > connect() to 134.106.3.252 failed: Connection refused (111) > > > the information on the > http://www.open-mpi.org/community/lists/users/2011/11/17732.php > is not enough could you kindly explain.. > > How can restrict MPI communication to use the ports starting from 1025. > or use the port some what like > 59822... > > Regards. > > > > On Tue, Mar 25, 2014 at 9:15 AM, Reuti <re...@staff.uni-marburg.de> wrote: > Hi, > > Am 25.03.2014 um 08:34 schrieb Hamid Saeed: > > > Is it possible to change the port number for the MPI communication? > > > > I can see that my program uses port 4 for the MPI communication. > > > > [karp:23756] btl: tcp: attempting to connect() to address 134.106.3.252 on > > port 4 > > [karp][[4612,1],0][btl_tcp_endpoint.c:655:mca_btl_tcp_endpoint_complete_connect] > > connect() to 134.106.3.252 failed: Connection refused (111) > > > > In my case the ports from 1 to 1024 are reserved. > > MPI tries to use one of the reserve ports and prompts the connection > > refused error. > > > > I will be very glade for the kind suggestions. > > There are certain parameters to set the range of used ports, but using any up > to 1024 should not be the default: > > http://www.open-mpi.org/community/lists/users/2011/11/17732.php > > Are any of these set by accident beforehand by your environment? > > -- Reuti > > > > Regards. > > > > > > > > > > > > On Mon, Mar 24, 2014 at 5:32 PM, Hamid Saeed <e.hamidsa...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hello Jeff, > > > > Thanks for your cooperation. > > > > --mca btl_tcp_if_include br0 > > > > worked out of the box. > > > > The problem was from the network administrator.
