We doing a test with 2 PC to set-up and configure
fds Cluster simulation with FDS pyrosim software.
This is my configuration for RUN Cluster 

PC1 - Computer name AABB1122
Win 8.1 64 bit
User account XXZZ 
password PC2 _aabb (same for PC1 and PC2 )
FDS 6.2.0
SMV 6.2.2
PyroSim 2015 2 0604 x64 with license active
MPI version 1.4.1p1
PyrosimCluster 2014-4-1105-x64 installed

Pyrosim file is in shared folder C:\abc\abc.psm

PC2 - Computer name TTWW8899
Win 7 64 bit
User account XXZZ (same PC1) 
password PC1
FDS 6.2.0
SMV 6.2.2
PyroSim 2015 2 0604 x64 installation only
MPI version  1.4.1p1 x86-64
PyrosimCluster 2014-4-1105-x64 installed

We encountered a number of difficulties 
in the configuration of ports and services,
Some problems solved concern the Hydra_service.
Finally, the Cluster fds command run with this log file,
but it does not produce any result or out file.

Question:
It is be found a configuration problem with the MPI or Hydra ?
which inspections or tests can be performed ?


observations:

the issue was discussed in this forum - Pyrosim program  
http://www.thunderheadeng.net/forum/index.php/topic,2686.0.html
the problem is being analyzed.

after running the Cluster fds simulation command, the 
Time elapsed: counts
Time remaining: set at Zero - No counts 
Progress: ( work done ) no running - no count

reply received from thunderheadeng forum, after many test:
"For whatever reason, Intel's HYDRA process scheduler is just hanging and not producing output - error or otherwise."
