John, To disable shared memory (sm or vader in Open MPI depending on the version), you have to remove it from the list of approved underlying network devices. As you specifically want TCP support, I would add "--mca btl tcp,self" to my mpirun command line. However, by default Open MPI tries to avoid using the loop back device to communication between processes on the same node, so you will have to manually allow the loopback by adding "--mca btl_tcp_if_include 127.0.0.1/24" to your command line.
