Starting the TotalView Server Manually
%C %R –n "%B/tvdsvr –working_directory %D –callback %L \
–set_pw %P –verbosity %V %F"
where:
%C Expands to the name of the server launch command to
use, which is the value of TV::launch_command. On
most platforms, this is rsh. On HP computers, it is
remsh. On SiCortex, it is ssh - x. If the
TVDSVRLAUNCHCMD environment variable exists,
TV::launch_command is initialized to its value.
%R Expands to the host name of the remote computer that
you specified in the File > New Program or dload commands.
%B Expands to the bin directory in which tvdsvr is installed.
–n Tells the remote shell to read standard input from
/dev/null; that is, the process immediately receives an
EOF (End-Of-File) signal.
–working_directory %D
Makes %D the directory to which TotalView connects.
%D expands to the absolute path name of the directory.
When you use this option, the host computer and the
target computer must mount identical file systems. That
is, the path name of the directory to which TotalView
connects must be identical on host and target computers.
After changing to this directory, the shell invokes the
tvdsvr command.
You must make sure that the tvdsvr directory is in your
path on the remote computer.
–callback %L Establishes a connection from tvdsvr to TotalView. %L
expands to the host name and TCP/IP port number
(hostname:portnumber) on which TotalView is listening for
connections from tvdsvr.
–set_pw %P Sets a 64-bit password. TotalView must supply this
password when tvdsvr establishes a connection with it.
TotalView expands %P to the password that it automatically
generates. For more information on this password,
see “TotalView Debugger Server (tvdsvr) Command
Syntax” in the TotalView Reference Guide.
–verbosity %V Sets the verbosity level of the tvdsvr. %V expands to
the current verbosity setting. For information on verbosity,
see the “Variables” chapter within the TotalView
Reference Guide.
%F Contains the tracer configuration flags that need to be
sent to tvdsvr processes. These are system-specific
startup options that the tvdsvr process needs.
