Hi there,
I am new to run fluent in linux centOS. I have installed fluent 6.3 on three machines. but when I run the command below:
/data/Fluent.Inc/bin/fluent -g 3d -cnf=/root/host -t4

It ends up with the following output:

Code:
[root@MDS1 ~]# /data/Fluent.Inc/bin/fluent -g 3d -cnf=/root/host -t4

Done.

the error is not with your mpi but with the parallel connectivity. check your ssh or rsh then run it again and make sure to stop the firewall. tell me then if you get any error again.

Wooow! thanx, It was a problem with the firewall. But after solving that another problem comes up:

Code:

ok ..


you must check your proper connectivity there not dynamics IP but static.

then if you know about ssh configuration then do it for the parallel computing.

I suggest you to use the -ssh in your command to run fluent. and also do the permissive of SElinux also. sometimes it also stops the suspicious connectivity. anyways do the following and let me know.
cheers

Well, I have set all the IP addresses manually and there is no dynamic IP address.
I ran the fluent with -ssh switch, but nothing happened new.
SElinux is completely disabled also.

I've really get stuck...

ok then check whether your fluent is installed proper i mean there sometimes mpi folder doesnt exist.

I didnt experience that kind of error before.

there must be some human error.

Check if MPI is correctly installed. Run FLUENT with -ssh option. Before that do: cd ~; cd .ssh;
ssh-keygen -dsa; {blank passphare - ENTER, ENTER}; cat id_dsa.pub > authorized_keys2; ssh 127.0.0.1; {confirm with yes}; ssh 127.0.1.1; {confirm with yes}; check if you can ssh to 127.0.0.1 and 127.0.1.1 without typing a password. Generally: google -> "ssh without password".
Try: fluent 2d -ssh -mpi=intel when MPI is not working. Hope I helped.

Sorry, i didn't read that you are using different machines, so instead of doing ssh without password to localhost, try this: http://linuxproblem.org/art_9.html

Hi
since i am new in Linux,Ubuntu i have some sort of same problem
I try to open Fluent on my device, but i encounter with this error:

999999: mpt_get_dot_address: warning : UNI - SERVER _ > 127.0.0.1 check your system network configuration!

999999: mpt_get_dot_address: warning : UNI - SERVER _ > 127.0.0.1 check your system network configuration!

starting / user/ansys_inc/v150/fluent/fluent15.0.0/(.....), mpirun: rsh: command not found

if anyone can help me to get through this problem i would really appreciate it

Your problem is possibly solved by adding
Code:
-ssh
switch to the start command/script:
Code:
fluent -ssh ....
If you really want rsh you should have it installed!
Code:
which rsh
should find it. But note, that it is often symlink to ssh. Do not know, if this strange config would work with FLUENT.

Using rsh on Ubuntu:
on each computing node:
Code:
sudo apt-get install rsh-server
sudo apt-get install rsh-client
and on the submit node (if differs from computing node)
Code:
sudo apt-get install rsh-client

1) The first thing to try is to run without cnf option.
FLUENT would not make him wait to spawn so much process on your current machine, that you specify with -t option:
Code:
 /data/Fluent.Inc/bin/fluent -g 3d -t2
2) The second thing to try is to login to target machines. I suggest using ssh.

E.g., your machines are machine1 and machine2.
Code:
ssh machine1
(should give you shell on this machine without(!!!) any confirmation - i.e., without password, yes/no and soon)
Code:
ssh machine2
(too)
Run via ssh with explicit node list (for example, we would require two processes on each machine):
Code:
 /data/Fluent.Inc/bin/fluent -g 3d -t2 -ssh -cnf=machine1:2,machine2:2
3) The third thing is to use file like you did with "-ssh" option.

You could change ssh to rsh everywhere, though. I didn't use it, but I think the workaround is almost the same.

Cheers, John.

the real public IP address + your hostname must be in the hosts file, which is in the folder /etc
