Chapter 1 Installing NextGen TotalView for HPC
Overview
This document provides information about installing NextGen TotalView for HPC.
NOTE >> Rogue Wave NextGen TotalView for HPC introduces a newly developed, modern interface for the TotalView for HPC debugger. This UI includes the full power of the TotalView debugging engine, but does not yet support all its features. To use these features, simply run the totalview executable without the -newui argument to launch the original UI.
The installation has two main steps:
• Installing the distribution files.
• Installing and activating the license.
How you proceed with the installation depends on your situation:
• You have a demo license: If you are installing NextGen TotalView for HPC to use with a demo license, you need only follow the procedures in this chapter. If you decide to purchase a permanent NextGen TotalView for HPC license, you will proceed on to the other chapters at that time.
• You are installing NextGen TotalView for HPC for the first time with a permanent license: Follow the installation steps in this chapter, but when you get to the point of installing the demo license, skip to
Chapter 4, which describes how to install the LM license server, and then to
Chapter 5, which describes how to install your permanent license.
• You already have NextGen TotalView for HPC and are installing this new version: Follow the installation steps in this chapter, but when you get to the point of installing the demo license skip to Chapter 3, which explains how to install your new license. (You should be able to skip over Chapter 2 since you should already have an LM license server installed.)
