30 Solaris 7 11/99 Sun Hardware Platform Guide • November 1999
Within this environment, you can run individual tests designed to validate most
currently supported hardware that Sun sells. The SunVTS environment also allows
programmers to develop their own tests and run them on SunVTS interfaces.
You can find the software for the SunVTS application on the Supplement CD. To use
the SunVTS software, refer to the SunVTS 3.4 User’s Guide, SunVTS 3.4 Test Reference
Manual, and the SunVTS Quick Reference Card.
TABLE 3-3
describes the main features of the SunVTS environment.

SunVTS Diagnostic Tools
Features Description
SunVTS kernel (
vtsk
) The SunVTS kernel controls all aspects of the testing. It is
a daemon designed to stay in the background, and to be
used when needed. Upon starting, the SunVTS kernel
probes the hardware configuration of the system under
test and waits for instructions from a user interface.
During testing, the SunVTS kernel coordinates the
running of individual tests, and manages all the messages
(informational and error messages) sent by these tests.
SunVTS CDE user interface
(
vtsui
)
This interface is designed to run on top of the Common
Desktop Environment (CDE). It will also run on top of
OpenWindows if the CDE package
SUNWdtbas
is
installed. This interface provides a user-friendly GUI for
accessing SunVTS test session configuration, execution,
and log files.
SunVTS OPEN LOOK user
interface (
vtsui.o1
)
This interface is designed to be run on top of
OpenWindows. The SunVTS OPEN LOOK User Interface
may not support the latest SunVTS features. For full
feature support, use the SunVTS CDE or TTY interface.
The SunVTS OPEN LOOK User Interface will be
sustainedm but not enhanced, as long as OPEN LOOK is
supported in the Solaris environment.
