SunVTS Diagnostic Testing
The SunVTS™ software executes multiple diagnostic hardware tests from a single
user interface and is used to verify the configuration and the functionality of most
hardware controllers and devices. The SunVTS software primarily operates from a
user interface that allows you to control all aspects of the diagnostic test operation.
The
saiptest
diagnostic, which is shipped with the SunVTS software, checks the
functionality of SunSAI/P adapters. This diagnostic can be run from the SunVTS
user interface, or it can be run from the command line. Refer to the SunVTS Test
Reference Manual for more information about the
saiptest
test.
Refer to the SunVTS documents for detailed information about the SunVTS software.
These documents are available on the Solaris on Sun Hardware AnswerBook, which
can viewed on the Sun Documentation website
(
http://docs.sun.com/
).
The main features of the SunVTS environment include:
■
SunVTS kernel
The SunVTS kernel (
vtsk
) controls all facets of the SunVTS environment. When
activated,
vtsk
probes the hardware configuration of the system being tested and
responds to commands from
vtsui
and
vtstty
.
vtsk
coordinates the operation of
individual tests and manages the messages sent by these tests.
