Any ideas what is going wrong? vtkSocketCommunicator (0x7f953c4cee30): Endian handshake failed.
There is a big clue here in the error message. You didn't actually say what the remote system was, but it'd be worth checking if it's a different architecture JB From: paraview-boun...@paraview.org [mailto:paraview-boun...@paraview.org] On Behalf Of Pradeep Jha Sent: 17 January 2013 08:12 To: paraview@paraview.org Subject: [Paraview] Connecting to pvserver Hello, I am trying to use PV for the first time in parallel. I have some basic questions. I have installed PV 3.98 from source on my local machine (Mac OSX). I don't have the root permissions for the remote system I want to use for visaulization. So I installed the binary form of PV 3.98 on the remote system. I set up the server on that machine using the command: $mpiexec -n 4 pvserver --use-offscreen-rendering And then I am trying to connect to this server from the PV on my Mac. But it is giving me the following error: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ERROR: In /Users/pradeep/softwares/ParaView/VTK/Parallel/Core/vtkSocketCommunicator.cxx, line 812 vtkSocketCommunicator (0x7f953c4cee30): Could not receive tag. 1010580540 ERROR: In /Users/pradeep/softwares/ParaView/VTK/Parallel/Core/vtkSocketCommunicator.cxx, line 561 vtkSocketCommunicator (0x7f953c4cee30): Endian handshake failed.

Also, this remote system has 16 processors. But for bigger jobs, I can submit a job on a cluster using this remote system using a shell script where it can use over 100 processors. But I cannot install anything on this cluster. Can I use this remote cluster for using paraview faster? The structure is something like this: Mac ---> Remote system (16 processors) ----> Cluster with over 100 nodes. Thanks, Pradeep
