Communication between client<->server(first node) is by default via socket connection on port 11111, but only 5600-5609 are open (therefore below we use 5601).

single paraview server:

multiple paraview server:
Make sure pvserver was compiled with the MPI you use, or you will end up with:

tunnel port to localhost
