Dear All,

I have created a virtual high performance computing (HPC) cluster of 6
compute nodes with MPICH2 using Xen-based Fedora 11 Linux 64-bit
paravirtualized (PV) domU guests. Dom0 is Fedora 11 Linux 64-bit. My Intel
Desktop Board DQ45CB has a single onboard Gigabit LAN network adapter.

I am able to bring up the ring of mpd on the set of 6 compute nodes.
However, I am consistently encountering the "(mpiexec 392): no msg recvd
from mpd when expecting ack of request" error.

After much troubleshooting, I have found that there are Receive Errors
(RX-ERR) in the virtual network interface eth0 of all the six compute nodes.
All the 6 compute nodes are identical F11 linux 64-bit PV virtual machines.

Here is my PV guest configuration for node 1:

[enming@fedora11-x86-64-host xen]$ cat enming-f11-pv-hpc-node0001
name="enming-f11-pv-hpc-node0001"
memory=512
disk = ['phy:/dev/virtualmachines/f11-pv-hpc-node0001,xvda,w' ]
vif = [ 'mac=00:16:3E:69:E9:11,bridge=eth0' ]
vfb = [ 'vnc=1,vncunused=1,vncdisplay=0,vnclisten=127.0.0.1,vncpasswd=' ]
vncconsole=1
bootloader = "/usr/bin/pygrub"
#kernel = "/home/enming/fedora11/vmlinuz"
#ramdisk = "/home/enming/fedora11/initrd.img"
vcpus=2
on_reboot = 'restart'
on_crash = 'restart'

Will there be any problems with Xen networking for MPICH2 applications? Or
it's just a fine-tuning exercise for Xen networking? I am using PV guests
because PV guests have much higher performance than HVM guests.

Here are my mpich-discuss mailing list threads:

Please advise on the RX-ERR.

Thank you very much.
