Hi,
I am facing problem in configuring and running MPI on my systems.
Here is what I tried:
1) I ran 'mpd &' on one machine and then I ran 'mpdtrace -l' on the same machine. I got this as output: "my-lappy_53430 (127.0.1.1)"
2) On another machine I ran 'mpd -h -p 53430 &' and got this error:
akshey-desktop_39993: conn error in connect_lhs: Connection timed out akshey-desktop_39993 (connect_lhs 924): failed to connect to lhs at 10.2.28.137 52430 akshey-desktop_39993 (enter_ring 879): lhs connect failed akshey-desktop_39993 (run 267): failed to enter ring
Can you please help with this issue? I tried to ping and ssh the first machine(on which mpd is running) from the second machine and it worked.
After this I executed 'mpdheck' on the first machine, I got this output:
* * * first ipaddr for this host (via my-lappy) is: 127.0.1.1
These are the contents of /etc/hosts of the first machine:
127.0.0.1 localhost 127.0.1.1 my-lappy # The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts ::1 localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback fe00::0 ip6-localnet ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix ff02::1 ip6-allnodes ff02::2 ip6-allrouters ff02::3 ip6-allhosts
Then I ran 'mpdcheck -l' and got this as output:
**********
Your unqualified hostname resolves to 127.0.0.1, which is
the IP address reserved for localhost. This likely means that
you have a line similar to this one in your /etc/hosts file:
127.0.0.1 $uqhn
This should perhaps be changed to the following:
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
**********
Even after changing the first line of /etc/hosts to "127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost" I still got the same output from 'mpdcheck -l'
Please note that I do not have access to the DNS server of the network and these machines do not have a DNS entry in the DNS server. (I think this should not be a problem because we can always use IP addresses instead of hostnames. Isn't it so?)
