It not about MPI but rather your system. Can your system read the same file multiple times? Can you open the same file multiple times? The simplest way to answer your question is to write a simple MPI program to test this.
Thanks,I only need to read the file. And, all processes only to read the file only once.But, the file is about 200MB.But, my code is C++.Does Open MPI support this ?thanks

Under my programming environment, FORTRAN, it is possible to parallel read (using native read function instead of MPI's parallel read function). Although you'll run into problem when you try to parallel write to the same file.
