[Paraview] Paraview in cave mode

[Thiebaut Mochel]

Hello,

I have three nodes in my configuration : hpc-g00, hpc-g01 and hpc-g02. 
The nodes are Fedora Core 4 with OpenMPI 1.2.3.
I try to use Paraview 2.6.2 in cave mode. However, when I try to run the 
pvserver on more than one node, the pvclient hangs.

Contents of openmpi hostfile :
hpc-g00 slots=2
hpc-g01 slots=2
hpc-g02 slots=2

Contents of the test.pvx file :
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<pvx>
   
    <Process Type="client">
        <Machine Name="hpc-g00" />
    </Process>
    <Process Type="server">
        <Machine Name="hpc-g00" Environment="DISPLAY=hpc-g00:0.0" />
        <Machine Name="hpc-g01" Environment="DISPLAY=hpc-g01:0.0" 
LowerLeft="-1.0 -1.0 0.0" LowerRight="1.0 -1.0 0.0" UpperLeft="-1.0 1.0 
0.0" />
        <Machine Name="hpc-g02" Environment="DISPLAY=hpc-g02:0.0" 
LowerLeft="-1.0 -1.0 1.0" LowerRight="1.0 -1.0 1.0" UpperLeft="-1.0 -1.0 
0.0" />
    </Process>
</pvx>

On hpc-g00, I run :
pvclient -rc

Then :
mpirun -np 2 pvserver -rc --client-host=hpc-g00 test.pvx

When I run the server as above, it runs well. When I try to set the -np 
parameter at 4 or 6, i.e. with processes on hpc-g01 or hpc-g02, the 
client starts, but stays frozen on the splash screen a few seconds after.

Any hints ?

Thiebaut.
