How do you know that it only detects one?

The message which says "1 GPU detected on host nid00900:" does not
mean that only one GPU was detected. The log file is written on a
single rank (master rank = #0) and that's where you get the detection
output. The GPU setup is assumed to be homogenous across nodes, i.e.
if on node nid00900 you have one GPU and you run two PP ranks on it
(-gpu_id 00) this will mean that on another rank, e.g. nid00901, the
same setup will apply.
