Figure 77: Manual Launching
of Debugger Server
Starting the TotalView Server Manually
3 Select the Server Launch Tab and clear the Enable single debug server
launch check box.
CLI: dset TV::server_launch_enabled
4 Log in to the remote computer and start tvdsvr:
tvdsvr –server
If you don’t (or can’t) use the default port number (4142), you will need to
use the –port or –search_port options. For details, see “TotalView Debugger
Server (tvdsvr) Command Syntax” in the TotalView Reference Guide.
After printing the port number and the assigned password, the server
begins listening for connections. Be sure to remember the password—
you need to enter it in step 5.
Using the –server option is not secure, other users could connect to your tvdsvr process
and use your UNIX UID. Consequently, this command-line option must be
explicitly enabled. (Your system administrator usually does this.) For details, see
–server in the “TotalView Command Syntax” chapter of the TotalView Reference
Guide.
5 From the Root Window, select the File > New Program command. Type the
program’s name in the Program field and the hostname:portnumber in the on
host field and then select OK.
CLI: dload executable –r hostname
6 TotalView tries to connect to tvdsvr.
7 When TotalView prompts you for the password, enter the password that
tvdsvr displayed in step 4.
The following figure summarizes the steps for starting tvdsvr manually.
