If you have more than one server process, the following figure shows what
your environment might look like:
Debugging Over a Serial Line
TotalView lets you debug programs over a serial line as well as TCP/IP sockets.
However, if a network connection exists, you probably want to use it to
improve performance.
You need two connections to the target computer: one for the console and
the other for TotalView. Do not try to use one serial line because TotalView
cannot share a serial line with the console.
The following figure illustrates a TotalView session using a serial line. In this
example, TotalView is communicating over a dedicated serial line with a
tvdsvr running on the target host. A VT100 terminal is connected to the target
host’s console line, which lets you type commands on the target host.
(See Figure 80.)
