Or, if your schedule permits be sure to check out one or both(!) of these VTune events, both currently scheduled there for Tuesday, November 4:
TUESDAY NOVEMBER 4, 2003
10:00am -- 11:45am
Using VTune, Technical Presentation
Gary Carleton, Sr. VTune Consulting Engineer
Gary is giving a talk on using the VTune analyzer to tune applications built with C++Builder.
TUESDAY NOVEMBER 4, 2003
1:00pm -- 1:45pm
VTune User SHARE/Birds of a feather
Various VTune team members
Gary and I and other members of the VTune team will be in this 45-minute session where we can talk about anything and everything VTune, whatever's on your mind, kudos, suggestions for improvement, bugs, you name it. This is your chance to SHARE your ideas and feedback with the folks who know the software best, and our managers eat this stuff up for breakfast. Come tell us what's on your mind -- we'll be all ears!
If you are able to drop in, be sure to mention you read about the session in this Forum!
It's all taking place in the San Jose Convention Center, but for more information on BorCon, you should visit their site
here.

I've been trying to get vtune working on a debian itanium2 system. I know it's not a supported system, but maybe someone can tell me what's going on anyway.
I've made all sorts of tricks to get it installed (which I can post on request), and I think I have everything covered in the install process. However, right now the error I get is this:
# /opt/intel/vtune/shared/bin/vtl
Error 0x800706ba: Unable to create the VTShell object. Make sure the Shell library is properly installed and registered.
Can anyone help me to get further, or should I just give up on debian?

The supporting services that allow vtl to work rely heavily on (and are validated to) very specific Red Hat and SuSE default releases and their subcomponents. This includes not just kernel versions to each and every digit, but also versions of glib, glibc, glibc++, and other libraries as well I think.
I don't know if Debian alters their kernel very much before releasing it with a given distribution, but you could always go to kernel.org and get a supported version, easy peasy. But, it's with the other bits that things get a little complicated.
I'd compare what you're attempting with trying to replace and adjust a new CRT for your computer monitor (not flat panel, obviously). You could spend hours replacing that tube and its flyback transformer, adjusting the color guns, all the other visual components (horizontal, vertical, purity, etc.) but there's still no guarantee you'll like the way the monitor looks when you're done. Clearly for the average user it's just easier to completely swap the monitor out, bam.
My advice: if you need vtl to get some optimizing done, stick to the exact releases mentioned in the release notes.
ALSO note though: if you're married to Debian itself, the Linux remote agents with VTune analyzer 7.0 may work for you. I'd recommend the 7.1 version currently in beta, which you may already know about if you read other forums here at IDS.

We're still hammering out our schedule for supporting it, RZ, and I'll post the info here as soon as it's solid.
(Yes, we'll be supporting it; the question is --> when.)
Stay tuned.

The install program runs for several minutes (after selectin g 1, accepting licences and seeing "unpacking files ..." on the screen). The install program does not stop completly it uses a percent of cpu or so... (15 seconds in 20 minutes).
First run it got a segv after 20 minutes. Second attempt hasn't terminated yet.
There is no entries after last success in the install.log.
It has extracted a number of rpm-files
What does the install program due?
install the rpms, update some environement shell script and add some files to /etc/init.d?
Why the hell does it have to be done by a buggy install-program?

Thanks for taking the time to report the bug you're seeing! Fact is, it's a new one to us around here, I haven't talk to anybody who's seen it before, so we're super glad you checked in.
To answer your first question, the install program installs the vtl software itself; a series of support services that vtl needs called EntireX; an analyzer kernel driver kit; and, if you choose to let it, install will also alter your boot and shutdown script directories to automatically insert the needed kernel sampling drivers on bootup (using insmod) so that vtl sampling will work. Of course, if you tell the install program NOT to edit your rc scripts, it won't, and you can manually insmod the drivers yourself.
Lots of things could be going on, let me suggest you try the following things:
1) If the server runs out of disk space in the installation filesystem (df -v) or runs out of processes during the installation, it could hang up the install itself, no system resources being available to report trouble or write to the log.
2) Is NFS or an otherwise networked filesystem in use on the server you're installing to? If so, try to install locally ONLY, and let's see if the problem changes or stays the same.
A typical install on a slow processor should take about 8 or 9 minutes, no patience required. Is there a second system in your area that you could start an install on just to compare results?
If none of these suggestions shed any light on your installation and the behavior you're seeing, please head on over to our Premier web site and report the failure exactly as you have it here.

I installed on another machine with almost the same setup (differs on patchlevels for none critical rpms, kernel, libc and so are identical).
About possible reasons:
1) 4.5GB free on / (which includes installation target /opt), so I doubt thats a problem
2) The source was placed on an nfs-mounted partition (from which I frequently install rpms without any problem). The target directory is local though.
If 2) is the reason: what magic does install do? Is it the IA32 code for working over nfs that emulates badly on IA64? (But shurely you use the running operating system functionality to access the nfs filesystem?)

The issue with NFS is known, and is being worked on. For those folks who can install without it, using only local directories, we encourage it (for now).
FYI only, because you seem interested in the details, we've isolated the issue to a specific call in the code of the support services that vtl requires to operate.
Here's the short story: fcntl() calls don't work reliably on nfs volumes.
We intend to address this issue as quickly as possible, not waiting for the next release of our software. I think we're still talking first quarter of next year, perhaps at the earliest.

Great question Rostam.
In a word, no. The counter monitor functionality has not yet been added to the Linux product, and won't be added anytime too soon. FYI only.
cheers,

More on this: EL 3.0 won't be supported by vtl 2.0 this year, most likely though at the very beginning of next year.
NOTE though, that when VTune 7.1 releases at the beginning of next year, it will have EL 3.0 support right at its release. If those few weeks will make a difference in your optimization timeschedule, you should surely take a look at 7.1 when it comes out, rather than waiting for vtl 2.0.
Just wanted to make sure you knew all of your options.
cheers

:smileyvery-happy:
OK you won't hear it from me, rostam.
Fact is, I need a bit more from you to figure out where we're heading. VTServer is not part of vtl or vtl beta (the subject of this forum) but is either part of VTune 7.0 (currently released product) or VTune 7.1 (also in beta right now even as I type).
Let me know which VTune you're working with, and I'll take it from there.
cheers
