30 Sun Fire V215 and V245 Servers Administration Guide • September 2006
Because SunVTS software can run many tests in parallel and consume many system
resources, you should take care when using it on a production system. If you are
stress-testing a system using SunVTS software’s Comprehensive test mode, do not
run anything else on that system at the same time.
A server must be running the Solaris OS for SunVTS software to be able to test it.
Because the SunVTS software packages are optional, they may not be installed on
your system. See
“SunVTS Installation” on page 30 for instructions.
SunVTS Software and Security
During SunVTS software installation, you must choose between Basic or Sun
Enterprise Authentication Mechanism
™
security. Basic security uses a local security
file in the SunVTS installation directory to limit the users, groups, and hosts
permitted to use SunVTS software. Sun Enterprise Authentication Mechanism
security is based on the standard network authentication protocol Kerberos and
provides secure user authentication, data integrity, and privacy for transactions over
networks.
If your site uses Sun Enterprise Authentication Mechanism security, you must have
Sun Enterprise Authentication Mechanism client and server software installed on
your network and configured properly in both Solaris and SunVTS software. If your
site does not use Sun Enterprise Authentication Mechanism security, do not choose
the Sun Enterprise Authentication Mechanism option during SunVTS software
installation.
If you enable the wrong security scheme during installation, or if you improperly
configure the security scheme you choose, you might find yourself unable to run
SunVTS tests. For more information, see the
SunVTS User’s Guide and the
instructions accompanying the Sun Enterprise Authentication Mechanism software.
SunVTS Installation
The SunVTS software is installed as part of the preinstalled software image on the
Sun Fire V215 and V245 servers. However, it is available on the software supplement
CD supplied with the Solaris OS. For information about downloading it from this
CD, refer to the
Sun Hardware Platform Guide for the release of the Solaris OS you are
using.
