when i m running my case for parallel processing with following
mpirun -np 6 pisoFoam -parallel > log &

getting following error...

neptune@ubuntu:~/tutorials/incompressible/icoFoam/cavity$ mpirun -np 6 pisoFoam -parallel > log &

MPI_ABORT was invoked on rank 0 in communicator MPI_COMM_WORLD

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
mpirun has exited due to process rank 0 with PID 12388 on
node ubuntu exiting improperly. There are two reasons this could occur:

1. this process did not call "init" before exiting, but others in
the job did. This can cause a job to hang indefinitely while it waits
for all processes to call "init". By rule, if one process calls "init",
then ALL processes must call "init" prior to termination.

2. this process called "init", but exited without calling "finalize".
By rule, all processes that call "init" MUST call "finalize" prior to
exiting or it will be considered an "abnormal termination"

This may have caused other processes in the application to be
terminated by signals sent by mpirun (as reported here).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

therefore after this i did parallel test
as mentioned in on of Brunos link

1. Run mpirun with a test for launching mpi'less applications. For example, run each one of these at a time: Code:
   mpirun -np 2 bash -c "ls -l" mpirun -np 2 bash -c "export"
   The first one will show you the contents of the folder each remotely launched bash shell. The second one will show you the environment variables for each remote shell.
   If neither one of these work, then your MPI installation isn't working.
2. Build the test application designed for these kinds of tests: Code:
   cd $WM_PROJECT_DIR wmake applications/test/parallel
   Now go to your case that has the decomposePar already done.
   Then run the following scenarios:

Till 2 step everything working ok but when i say parallelTest gives following error

neptune@ubuntu:~/tutorials/incompressible/icoFoam/cavity$ parallelTest
parallelTest: command not found

Thanks in advance... please help me on this....

Why does it complain that you have 2 processor directories and are trying to run with 6 processors?

Greetings to both!

@suryawanshi_nitin: Adhiraj is right, the decomposition apparently didn't go as you expected. Check your "system/decomposeParDict".

As for parallelTest, as of 2.0.0 it has been renamed to Test-parallel.

Best regards,
Bruno

Thnaks for your valuable replies
yes you are right, in my actual case i m working with 6 processors but it was giving issue, so i thought of checking with simple case. Below is the error msg of actual case. i have allready solved this case in of201 debian pack, till 1.7 sec by decomposing domain for 6 processors, And now i m using same data to solve further in of210 source pack installation. but while running it for further time after 1.7 sec but getting following error...
(And test-Parallel is working now)

kindly waiting for your replies. Thanks in advance.

What OpenFOAM is trying to tell you: Your "symmetryBottom" has a missing value in your boundary setup. Be sure to provide all needed variables!

[suryawanshi_nitin]

sir thanks for your reply
its working well now, but i started the case from start time i.e. 0.0 sec in controldict file, a complete new simulation. From this what i understood is if we are having solution data of of debian pack of201 and if we want to run that case further in of210 source pack installation, then it of210 unable to understand/handle old data from old version especially in parallel case. this is what my interpretation.... thanks sir for your valuable time. if anyone is having clear view about this then they are most wellcome.
This is the way to learn fast with more clarity.....

Hi Nitin,

I read your post "error while running in parallel using openmpi on local mc 6 processors" and noticed you solved this problem.

I have the exactly same error. I was trying to run a case in parallel with 4 processors in Cluster. the task stops right after it starts and i found this error message in log file. But i tried to run this case in parallel in my own laptop, it works fine.

Can you please share how you solve this problem with more detail? Thanks a lot!!!

Hi, sibo,

Have you solved the problem? I have the same one!!!

Hi Maria,

I am still working on that! so annoying!!
What i did is I installed Openfoam again and especially pay attention to the load Openmpi to the environment step.
Also make sure your openfoam are the same version.
Hope this works.

Thanks.

[sibo]

Hi Maria,

It works now!!!

[marialhm]

Thanks, Sibo.

Mine is also working, and I didn't reinstall it. I have made some mistakes.
