I have found a solution, so I will reply myself just in case someone reaches the original message with a similar problem.
The problem was that the crd file that I was using for input did not contain cell information. It was solved by adding “ntxo=1” to the &control directive in the input file that I used to generate that file.
Regarding the number of processors, it is set automatically if the MPI version of mdgx is used, with the number of processors specified to launch the mdgx. However, it is limited to 8 processors.

I prepared the crd file for input to mdgx using a cubic box 12A apart from any solute atom, and the cutoff that I used in the equilibration was 9A.

That may help to schedule things in a queue and to have more control on the input settings (I am thinking on the RI options in orca). I have read in the manual that keepQMInput will not delete the input file generated, and somehow I guess that it could be possible to kill the QM calculation, but I do not know how the automated translation to cube file format will be done.
