Hi Ken,<br>
<br>
Thanks for the clarification. I misunderstood what types and the
number of connections that would actually be created. What you just
described is exactly what I am seeing. One connection to Node 0 of the
server.<br>
<br>
Now everything appears to be OK with a single server. When I run the
server in parallel using mpirun, I get a message indicating "Display is
not accessible on the server side. Remote rendering will be
disabled." Does this indicate I need to use offscreen rendering when
running in parallel? I've got dual video cards on each node and would
like to take advantage of these.<br>
<br>
Thanks again for you help.<br>
<br>
Jim<br>

<pre wrap="">I'm confused about what you are trying to do. What do you mean by
multiple connections or multiple servers? ParaView currently only
supports a direct connection between the client and node 0 of the
server. Node 0 then propagates the client's requests through MPI. Why
are you trying to make multiple connections between client and server?
