I have been trying to get ANSYS CFX 10.0 to run using Mellanox Infiniband (VAPI). I receive the following error message:

mpid: MPI BUG: VAPI requested but not available
An error has occurred in cfx5solve:
The CFX-5 solver could not be started, or exited with return code 255. No results file has been created.

I believe this indicates that it is trying to use VAPI but is failing for some reason. The infiniband interfaces on all the nodes have been tested and they are up.



The most recent version of HP MPI is needed to support some of the more recent versions of VAPI. You can download the latest version from:

<a target=_blank href="https://h20293.www2.hp.com/portal/swdepot/try.do?productNumber=T2411AA">https://h20293.www2.hp.com/portal/swdepot/try.do?productNumber=T2411AA</a>https://h20293.www2.hp.com/portal/swdepot/try.do?productNumber=T2411AA

The download indicates that this is a trial version, but it will be fully functional when used with ANSYS CFX.

To get CFX to pick up the latest version, you'll need to rename the "hpmpi-2.1-2" directory in /ansys_inc/Shared/ and then create a symlink named "hpmpi-2.1-2" to point to the new version.
