2.1 SunVTS Description
SunVTS is Sun’s online Validation Test Suite. SunVTS is a comprehensive software
diagnostic package that tests and validates hardware by verifying the connectivity
and functionality of most hardware controllers, devices, and platforms.
SunVTS can be tailored to run on various types of systems ranging from desktops to
servers with customizable features to meet the varying requirements of many
diagnostic situations.
Use SunVTS to validate a system during development, production, receiving
inspection, troubleshooting, periodic maintenance, and system or subsystem
stressing.
SunVTS executes multiple diagnostic tests from one graphical user interface (GUI)
that provides test configuration and status monitoring. The user interface can run in
the Common Desktop Environment (CDE) or OPEN LOOK environments or through
a TTY-mode interface for situations when running a GUI is not possible.
The SunVTS interface can run on one system to display the SunVTS test session of
another system on the network.
SunVTS is distributed with each SPARC™ Solaris™ operating environment release.
It is located on the Sun Computer Systems Supplement CD.
