[Paraview] Paraview 2.6 MPI client/server

[Bikash Agarwal]

I got MPI working on a single machine in client/server mode. How do I scale
it to multiple machines? Lets say I have 6 processors on server X, 7 on
server Y and a single processor client machine. What would I need to do to
set this up?

Thanks,
Bikash
