Bulk Server Launch on an IBM RS/6000 AIX Machine

On an IBM RS/6000 AIX machine, the launch string used for a bulk server launch is:

%C %H -n "poe -pgmmodel mpmd -resd no -tasks_per_node 1
            -procs %N -hostfile %t1 -cmdfile %t2"

where the elements unique to TotalView are:

%N

The number of servers that will be launched.

%t1

A temporary file created by TotalView that contains a list of the hosts upon which tvdsvr will run.

TotalView generates this information by expanding the %R symbol entered within the Bulk Launch preferences.

%t2

A file that contains the commands to start the tvdsvr processes on each machine. TotalView creates these lines by expanding the following template:

tvdsvr -working_directory %D \
    -callback %L -set_pw %P -verbosity %V
