About Remote Connections
The ability to set up a remote connection is available in the TotalView UI on all supported platforms.
The TotalView Remote Client makes it possible to run TotalView even on platforms that do not support the TotalView debugger. For example, Windows users can install the client and then remotely connect to the TotalView debugger on a supported platform.
Setting up a remote connection requires that either the TotalView Remote Client or TotalView be running on the local machine, that TotalView be installed on the remote machine, and that you enter any required connection and authorization information.
Before establishing a remote connection:
*For platforms that do not support the TotalView debugger, download and install the TotalView Remote Client .
Note: If you are using the TotalView debugger on your local machine and want to run a remote session on another machine, there is no need to install an external client, as this functionality is built into TotalView.
*Ensure that your environment for running TotalView is set up properly on the remote server.
*Ensure that the version of TotalView running on both the remote and local server is the same.
NOTE: The version of TotalView running on the local and remote server must be the same.
Once the remote connection is established, you can debug programs on the remote server in the same way you work on your local machine, with all the tools available to you.
