You use the Host window in the LoadRunner Controller to add hosts to the host list.
After you create a host, you can set and modify the attributes for the new host.
To add a host to the host list:
Start the LoadRunner Controller and open the Host window. The Host menu
appears in the LoadRunner menu bar.
Choose Host > Add. The Host Information dialog box opens.
Type the name of the host in the Name box.
Click a platform in the Platform list (UNIX or Windows).
By default, LoadRunner stores temporary files on the host during scenario
execution in a temporary directory specified by the host's TEMP or TMP
environment variables. To override this default for a specific host, type a location in
the Temporary Directory box.
If the host is UNIX-based, set the login information for the host. By default,
LoadRunner uses your NT user name for the UNIX login. In other words, if your
NT login is
lrunner
, the Controller will log on to the host as
lrunner
. You can also
specify to login to the UNIX machine as another user.
Click OK to close the Host Information dialog box. The host name you entered
appears in the Host window; the host status is set to
DOWN
