2. Download the image to that directory. Currently the image is a bit over 17 MB
using the Solaris compress utility. gzip brings the image size down to 12 MB but
the utility is not part of Solaris.
3. Uncompress the image. (eg.
cd /tmp/vts; uncompress vts.tar.Z)
4. Untar the image. (eg.
tar -xvf vts.tar)
5. Install the SunVTS packages (
SUNWvts SUNWvtsmn
) (eg.
pkgadd -d .
) Answer
the questions pkgadd asks accordingly. When the four packages are installed
SunVTS will reside in
/opt/SUNWvts/bin
. At this point, apply afbtest patch
106140-01 as applicable.
F.4 Configuring and Running SunVTS
There are three types of user interface:
