Someone who actually did the technical work can correct me, but I believe the the current version of the Cray XT port was done against the Cray XT3 running catamount. Catamount does not support sockets, so all the socket code and anything relying on it was disabled. Thus, the first step is to turn the sockets back on. It sounds like you have already done that.
Not having used a Cray XT4, I cannot profess to understand all the technical details. It sounds like all you may need to do is establish a "reverse connection." That is, the client will listen on a port and the server will connect back to it. To set up a reverse connection, simply make a client connection with a reverse connection type and launch pvserver with the -rc flag and the appropriate --client-host flag. -Ken On 11/21/08 7:09 AM, "Asimina Maniopoulou" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Dear all, I have cross compiled Paraview 3.4 on a Cay XT4 machine following mostly the instructions on page http://www.paraview.org/Wiki/Compiling_ParaView3_for_Cray_supercomputers Firstly I tested pvbatch using the coloredSphere.py I found on the page above , which seems to have worked fine. I have also installed on the login node the paraview GUI and I was trying to set up paraview and pvserver to work together. It seems though that pvserver that runs on the computed nodes is trying to open IP sockets to establish communication with the login node. CNL (the operating system on the compute node) supports sockets but is not configured to open ports (while opening a port on the computing node from a server running on the login node is possible) Is there any way round this as far as the configuration of pvserver is concerned?
