SunVTS Diagnostic Software

The SunVTS software executes multiple diagnostic hardware tests from a single user
interface and is used to verify the configuration and functionality of most hardware
controllers and devices. The SunVTS software operates primarily from a graphical
user interface, enabling test parameters to be set quickly and easily while a
diagnostic test operation is being performed.

Note –

SunVTS diagnostic software is not currently available for Solaris x86

Operating Systems.

The SunVTS

nettest

diagnostic can be used to test all of the networking interfaces

on the system, including the interfaces on the adapter.

To use the

nettest

diagnostic, you must have the SunVTS software installed on

your system. Refer to your Solaris documentation for installation instructions.

Refer to the SunVTS documentation (listed in

TABLE B-1

) for instructions on how to

run and monitor the

nettest

diagnostic. These SunVTS documents are available
