We do a reverse connect. Thus, the server is connecting to the client. For us, start the client, which will hang waiting for the server. Start all of the servers, reverse connect, passing it the name of the client machine. The specific commands are in the docs I mentioned.
Sort of like this: In directory lib/paraview-4.1, create a file named default_servers.pvsc. Put in it: <Servers> <Server name="Manual-Script" owner="user" resource="csrc://localhost" > <ManualStartup/> </Server> </Servers> paraview --server=Manual-Script --connect-id=123 & (get your nodes, run pvserver on your nodes) .../pvserver --use-offscrean-rendering -rc -ch=client-machine-name -connect-id=123 We don't change ports, but there is a command in ParaView to change ports. Normally, ParaView connects on 11111 by default.

It answers my question that Paraview communicates with rank 0 only. So if a paraview job gets spawned on multiple nodes, and rank zero gets allocated to cn01 say, so I connect the client to server cn01:11112? Thanks again, Wadud.

There are multiple pages here, dealing with server setup, client setup, port forwarding, etc. http://www.paraview.org/Wiki/ParaView#Server_Setup Alan From: ParaView [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Wadud Miah Sent: Thursday, June 19, 2014 8:24 AM To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: [EXTERNAL] [Paraview] pvserver on multiple nodes Hello, How do I configure the client when pvserver runs on multiple nodes via mpirun? e.g. cn01, cn02, cn03 and cn04. There is a flag --multi-servers for paraview but no documentation on it. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
