How are you measuring that it hasn't been successful? By default, Open MPI's TCP BTL should utilize all the IP interfaces that it can find and are usable to reach peers. E.g., if you have: Machine A: Eth0: 10.10.0.1/24 Eth1: 10.20.0.1/24 Eth2: 10.30.0.1/24 Eth3: 10.40.0.1/24 And machine B has similar interfaces (but .2 instead of .1), then Open MPI should automatically see / use them all. One thing to make sure of is that you interfaces are on different subnets. Bad Things(tm) can happen if you have multiple IP interfaces on the same subnet. It's technically allowed, but it's rarely what you actually want to do. -- Jeff Squyres jsquy...@cisco.com _______________________________________________ users mailing list users@lists.open-mpi.org https://lists.open-mpi.org/mailman/listinfo/users
