[Paraview] How to run ParaView in parallel

[Utkarsh Ayachit]

I am guessing you get a spotty visualization when you manually connect to
the pvserver, is that correct. What type of dataset are you loading? Can
you share the data? Not sure if it's a rendering artifact or a side effect
of the data distribution, or something else.
