Question & Answer


Question

When running an IBM Platform MPI job, you get the following error message and then the job exits. cannot connect to local mpd (/tmp/mpd2.console_test); possible causes: 1. no mpd is running on this host 2. an mpd is running but was started without a "console" (-n option) In case 1, you can start an mpd on this host with: mpd & and you will be able to run jobs just on this host. For more details on starting mpds on a set of hosts, see the MPICH2 Installation Guide.
