How to Diagnose Server Problems With the Bootable
Diagnostics CD
SunVTS 7.0 ps5 or later software is preinstalled on the server. The server is also shipped with the
bootable diagnostics CD containing SunVTS 6.0 ps6 or later. This CD is designed so that the
server boots from the CD. This CD boots the Solaris operating system and starts SunVTS
software. Diagnostics tests rfun and write output to log files that a service technician can use to
determine the problem with the server.
You must have a keyboard, mouse, and monitor attached to the server on which you are
performing diagnostics.
With the server powered on, insert the bootable diagnostics CD into the CD/DVD drive.
Reboot the server, but press F2 during the start of the reboot so that you can change the BIOS
setting for boot-device priority.
When the BIOS Main menu appears, navigate to the BIOS Boot menu.
Instructions for navigating within the BIOS screens are printed on the BIOS screens.
On the BIOS Boot menu screen, select Boot Device Priority.
The Boot Device Priority screen appears.
Select the DVD-ROM drive to be the primary boot device.
Save and exit the BIOS screens.
Reboot the server.
When the server reboots from the CD in the DVD-ROM drive, the Solaris OS boots and the
SunVTS software starts and opens its first GUI window.
In the SunVTS GUI, press Enter or click the Start button when you are prompted to start the
tests.
The test suite runs until it encounters an error or the test is completed.
