The firewall should already be solved. Basically, you have to define a set of ports in your firewall that will let TCP messages pass through, and then tell OMPI to use those ports for both the TCP BTL and the OOB.

"ompi_info --params btl tcp" - will tell you the right param to set for the TCP BTL

"ompi_info --params oob tcp" will do the same for the OOB

Of course, that -does- leave a hole in your firewall that any TCP message can exploit. :-/ You could look at more secure alternative ways.

I'm not sure how to solve the NAT problem as it boils down to how to specify the names/IP addresses of the nodes behind the NAT. Someone who understands NATs better can help you there - I know there is a way to do it, but I've never played with it.

Thank you Ralph and Samuel.

Sorry for the complete newbie question.

The reason that i wanted to study openMPI is because i wanted to make open MPI support nodes that are behind NAT or firewall. If you guys could give me some pointers on how to go about doing this i would appreciate alot. I am considering this for my thesis project.

Sincerely,
LEO

If you do a "./configure --help" you will get a complete list of the configure options. You may want to turn on more things than just enable-debug, though that is the critical first step.

Hi,

Let me begin by stating that I'm at most an Open MPI novice - but you may want to try the addition of the --enable-debug configure option. That is, for example:

./configure --enable-debug; make

Hope this helps.

Hi everyone,

I am trying to understand the openMPI code so was trying to enable debug and profiling by issusing

$ make "CFLAGS=-pg -g"

But i am getting this error.

Is there any other way of enabling debugging and profilling in open MPI.
