2-2 Sun Ultra 5 Service Manual • February 2000
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 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.
