Starting the Debugger Server Manually |
If you cannot tailor the auto-launch feature to work on your system, you can start the debugger server manually. The major disadvantage of this method is that it is not secure: other users could connect to your instance of tvdsvr and begin using your UNIX UID.
Here is how you manually start tvdsvr:
- From the Root Window, select the Server Launch Window command. The dialog box belowshown in appears.
- Deselect the TotalView Debugger Server Auto Launch Enabled checkbox to disable the auto-launch feature and then select OK.
- Log in to the remote machine and start tvdsvr:
If you do not (or cannot) use the default port number (4142), you will need to use the -port or -search_port options For details, refer to TotalView Debugger Server Command Syntax.
After printing out the port number and the assigned password, the server begins listening for connections. Be sure to make note of the password; you will need to enter it later in step 5.
Note: Because using the -server option is not secure, it must be explicitly enabled. For details, see -server.
- From the Root Window, select the New Program Window command. Enter the name in the Executable file name field of the dialog that appears and the hostname:portnumber in the Program location field.
- TotalView now tries to connect to tvdsvr.
When TotalView prompts you for the password, enter the password that tvdsvr displayed in step 3.
The following figure summarizes the steps used when you start tvdsvr manually.
