Thomas, in order to test Open MPI, you can download https://raw.githubusercontent.com/open-mpi/ompi/master/examples/hello_c.c
and build it $ mpicc -o hello_c examples/hello_c.c and then run $ mpiexec --mca btl ^openib -N 5 ./hello_c It should display 5 different lines (rank 0 to 4 of 5). If you see the same line (I am 0 of 1) 5 times, this indicates an issue.
