Net Session testing

CheckList: This list only has to be checked once by your system administrator. System administrators would have to be responsible for the basic requirements in real installation.

Computer_A switched on and running
(Hostname: compa)
Computer_B switched on and running
(Hostname: compb)
Computer_A on network (able to ping Computer_B). compa and compb should be mentioned in /etc/hosts file on both systems or name service should be operational. To test if compa can talk to compb over the network, type the following command on Computer_A:

/usr/etc/ping compb

Computer_B on network (able to ping Computer_A). compa and compb should be mentioned in /etc/hosts file on both systems or name service should be operational. To test if compb can talk to compa over the network, type the following command on Computer_B:

/usr/etc/ping compa

EvalViewer installed on Computer_A on network
EvalViewer installed on Computer_B on network
You must have a login account with the given username on Computer_A
You must have a login account with the given username on Computer_B
You must be able to run 'evalview' from the command line on Computer_A directly after login. If you can't, create a script to run evalview from wherever it is. The contents of the script could look like this:

EVLOC=/a/b/c/bin/evalview

$EVLOC/evalview $*

You must be able to run evalview from the command line on Computer_B. If you can't, create a script to run evalview from wherever it is. The contents of the script could look like this:

EVLOC=/a/b/c/bin/evalview

$EVLOC/evalview $*

You must be able to remote shell without passwd from A to B.

To test this, type the following command on computer_A:

rsh compb df

This command must run in the customer environment. (If that doesn't work, add compa username to .rhosts file on compb.)

You must be able to remote shell without passwd from B to A.

To test this, type the following command on Computer_B:

rsh compa df

This command must run in the customer environment. (If doesn't work, add compb username to .rhosts file on compa.)

You must be able to remote copy from A to B.

To test this, type the following command on Computer_A:

% rcp testfile compb:

This command must run in the customer environment.

You must be able to remote copy from B to A.

To test this, type the following command on Computer_B:

rcp testfile compa:

This must run in the customer environment.

You are ready to try'EvalViewer Net Sessions':% evalview (read in file or create some data) File > Spawn Net Session> --> hostname Force a Redraw to occur after some time by moving the mouse or hitting Enter.
A separate copy of EvalViewer should be running on the other computer.
Choose File > Release Net Session again on master session to release slave session.
