    I think the syntax for mpiexec is:<br>
    <br>
    mpiexec -np 8 --host host_one,host_two pvserver<br>
    <br>
    This would launch 4 occurences of pvserver on host_one and 4 on
    host_two.<br>
    <br>
    1) first check mpi is running:<br>
    <br>
    mpiexec -np 2 --host host_one,host_two hostname<br>
    <br>
    This should print the name of the 2 hosts.<br>
    <br>
    If it does not works check you can ssh from one host to the other
    without password.<br>
    <br>
    2) You need the same paraview/pvserver install on the two hosts in
    the same location (not imposed but it is easier to launch)<br>
    <br>
    3) May be use reverse connection from the parallel pvserver to the
    paraview client when you launch pvserver <br>
