Setting Up Remote
Debugging Sessions
This chapter explains how to set up TotalView remote debugging
sessions.
This chapter contains the following sections:
� “Setting Up and Starting the TotalView Server” on page 81
� “Starting the TotalView Server Manually” on page 86
� “Disabling Autolaunch” on page 91
You cannot debug remote processes using TotalView Individual.
Setting Up and Starting the
TotalView Server
Debugging a remote process with TotalView is only slightly different than
debugging a native process. The following are the primary differences:
� TotalView needs to work with a process that will be running on remote
computers. This remote process, which TotalView usually launches, is
called the tvdsvr.
� TotalView performance depends on your network’s performance. If the
network is overloaded, debugging can be slow.
TotalView can automatically launch tvdsvr in one of the following ways:
� It can independently launch a tvdsvr on each remote host. This is called
single-process server launch.
� It can launch all remote processes at the same time. This is called bulk
server launch.
