The -V (verbose) option shown above is not strictly necessary, but it is very useful
for troubleshooting. With this option, tgtsvr produces informative messages if it
cannot connect to the target.
For example, if you make an error in specifying the target name, tgtsvr exits when
it cannot find that target. Without the -V option, tgtsvr exits silently. With the -V
option, tgtsvr produces the following message for an unknown target:
% tgtsvr -V vxsim0 &
% tgtsvr.ex (vxsim0@seine): Mon Nov 30 14:09:46 1998
Error: Target vxsim0 unknown. Attach failed.
Error: Backend initialization routine failed.
Problem during backend initialization.
There are a number of other tgtsvr command-line options to control the behavior
of your target server. The most notable options are the following:
-B Chooses alternative methods of communicating with the target. See 2.5 Host-
Target Communication Configuration, p.31 to use other back ends.
-c Override the path to the VxWorks image on the host system.
For information on these and other command-line options, see the tgtsvr reference
documentation (either online, or in D. Tornado Tools Reference). The easiest way to
select and manage these options is with the Tornado launcher.
2.8 Launching Tornado
Are you ready to try Tornado? The launcher is a good place to start; it provides
access to all other Tornado facilities. Execute the following command:
% launch &
The list on the left of the launcher window shows the targets currently available on
your network. Click on one to select it, and you can see a display similar to
Figure 2-9, summarizing the characteristics of that target. To explore the Tornado
tools, click on any of the buttons along the bottom of the launcher screen.
