Starting the TotalView Server Manually
You can also use the %H option with this command. See “Bulk Server Launch
Setting on an SGI Computers” on page 89 for more information.
For information on the complete syntax of the tvdsvr command, see
“TotalView Debugger Server (tvdsvr) Command Syntax” in the TotalView Reference
Guide.
Bulk Server Launch Setting on an SGI Computers
On SGI MIPS and SGI ICE computers, the bulk server launch string is as follows:
array tvdsvr –working_directory %D –callback_host %H \
–callback_ports %L –set_pws %P –verbosity %V %F
where:
–working_directory %D
Makes %D the directory to which TotalView connects.
TotalView expand %D to this directory’s absolute path
name.
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 the host and target computers.
After performing this operation, tvdsvr starts executing.
–callback_host %H
Names the host upon which TotalView makes this callback.
TotalView expands %H to the host name of the
computer on which TotalView is running.
–callback_ports %L
Names the ports on the host computers that TotalView
uses for callbacks. TotalView expands %L to a commaseparated
list of host names and TCP/IP port numbers
(hostname:portnumber,hostname:portnumbe...) on which
TotalView is listening for connections.
–set_pws %P Sets 64-bit passwords. TotalView must supply these
passwords when tvdsvr establishes the connection with
it. %P expands to a comma-separated list of 64-bit
passwords that TotalView automatically generates. For
more information, see “TotalView Debugger Server (tvdsvr)
Command Syntax” in the TotalView Reference Guide.
–verbosity %V Sets the tvdsvr verbosity level. TotalView expands %V
to the current verbosity setting.For information on verbosity,
see the “Variables” chapter within the TotalView
Reference Guide.
You must enable the use of the array command by tvdsvr by adding the following
information to the /usr/lib/array/arrayd.conf file:
#
# Command that allow invocation of the TotalView
# Debugger server when performing a Bulk Server Launch.
