[Paraview] Connecting to pvserver

[Pradeep Jha]

Hello,

I am trying to use PV for the first time in parallel. I have some basic questions. 

I have installed PV 3.98 from source on my local machine (Mac OSX). I don't have the root permissions for the remote system I want to use for visaulization. So I installed the binary form of PV 3.98 on the remote system. I set up the server on that machine using the command:

$mpiexec -n 4 pvserver --use-offscreen-rendering

And then I am trying to connect to this server from the PV on my Mac. But it is giving me the following error:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ERROR: In /Users/pradeep/softwares/ParaView/VTK/Parallel/Core/vtkSocketCommunicator.cxx, line 812

vtkSMSessionClient (0x7f9539ca3f50): Some error in socket processing.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Any ideas what is going wrong? 

Also, this remote system has 16 processors. But for bigger jobs, I can submit a job on a cluster using this remote system using a shell script where it can use over 100 processors. But I cannot install anything on this cluster. Can I use this remote cluster for using paraview faster? 

The structure is something like this: Mac ---> Remote system (16 processors) ----> Cluster with over 100 nodes.

Thanks,
Pradeep
