[Paraview] [EXTERNAL] pvserver MPI issue

[Quentin d'Avout]

Actually, it turns out that you have to specifically tell pvserver to use
different ports for every process:



mpirun -np 32 pvserver --server-port=%PV_SERVER_PORT%



But I’m now having issues connecting to all of these processes from the
paraView GUI/connect window. Can’t seem to be able to specify more than one
port at once…



Anybody knows the trick?

Thanks again

All I have is back to the firewall?

Thanks Scott.

Didn’t do the trick tho.

Other ideas?

Not saying I’m right here, but it looks like multiple versions of ParaView
are tying up the socket.  Do a ps -ef on paraview, client side, and kill
them.  Do the same on the server side.  Then, try again.

Hi All,



my issue is when I hit:



mpirun -np 32 pvserver # with or without --mpi option



I get :"vtkServerSocket (0x23fb3e0): Socket error in call to bind. Address
already in use."

and: "vtkTCPNetworkAccessManager (0x1879510): Failed to set up server
socket."



as if my paraView was compiled with the mpi capability off. But it is on
(D3 filter available, "about" windows also says so).



pvserver in serial works just fine.

Could have been the ufw firewall blocking connections, but it is disabled.

Ubuntu 17.04.



Thanks in advance for your help.

Quentin
