Attaching to an SGI MPI Job

To attach to a running SGI MPI program, attach to the SGI MPI mpirun process that started the program. The procedure for attaching to an mpirun process is the same as that for attaching to any other process. For details, see “Attaching to Processes”.

After you attach to the mpirun process, TotalView asks if you also want to attach to slave MPICH processes. If you do, press Return or choose Yes. If you do not, choose No.

If you choose Yes, TotalView starts the server processes and acquires all MPICH processes.

As an alternative, you can use the Group > Attach Subset command to predefine what to do. For more information, see “Attaching to Processes Tips”.
