[Paraview] Paraview-3.12.0 Client-Server

[Rakesh Hammond]

Hi,

I am trying to get ParaView-3.12.0 working on our visualisation cluster.
However I am getting errors such as the following

"Socket error in call to conect : Connection refused"

As a bit of a background, I have ParaView-3.10.1 working in client-server
mode on the same cluster. On the server, we have IntelMPI-4.0.1 and Slurm
as the scheduler.

I tried debugging the problem by printing stuff out in vtkSocket.cxx file -
I always get the message which says "Connected" from slurm out file.  The
ParaView-3.12.0 client then just hangs.

I did get it to work by using a machinefile (ie outside slurm) and it
worked in client-server to my work station.

I am not really sure what is the cause of this - my suspicion is that this
either to do with IntelMPI-4.0.1 and ParaView-3.12.0 or with Slurm-2.1.4
(which is what is available on the cluster).

Can some one please give me some hints how I can debug this further?


Any pointers are greately appreciated.

Given my level of desperation, I tried with Paraview-3.14.0-RC2 and things
have really changed here - for example, what happend to the PV_CLIENT_HOST
variable? Is this no longer set?
I also note that when you set up a profile to connect to the server in
reverse-connection mode, it no longer allows you to specifiy host name - is
this intentional?

Regards,
Rakesh
