SunVTS Diagnostic Testing
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.
Refer to the SunVTS documents (listed in
