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.
The
nettest
diagnostic checks all the networking interfaces on a system, including
the Sun GigaSwift Ethernet adapter. Refer to the SunVTS User’s Guide for more
information on how to run the
nettest
diagnostic test.
Note –
To use the
nettest
diagnostic, you must have the SunVTS software
installed on your system. Refer to the Solaris Sun Hardware Platform Guide, which was
shipped with the Solaris Supplement CD, for instructions on how to install the
SunVTS software.
