I think the specifics of configuring that varies dependent on the mpi library.
With some it is as simple as giving the name of the machines in the right order as arguments on the command line to mpirun, with others it involves making a hosts file where the first entry in the file is the hostname that you want to be the rank 0 node and the rest are the others, and I'm sure others make it much more complicated. You should be able to test it out with a small mpi hello world from uname, program, and once you get that working try it out with pvserver.
