SunVTS Overview
You can use SunVTS, the Sun Validation and Test Suite, to run individual tests
for verifying the configuration and functionality of most hardware controllers
and devices.
These are the main features of the SunVTS environment:
•
SunVTS kernel ( vtsk )
The SunVTS kernel controls all aspects of the testing. It stays in the
background and is used when needed. Upon starting, it probes the
hardware configuration of the system tested, and waits for instructions from
the user interface. During testing, it coordinates the running of individual
tests, and manages the messages sent by these tests.
•
SunVTS OPEN LOOK user interface ( vtsui )
This interface is designed to run on top of OpenWindows. Through the
numerous buttons and windows, users can set options, select tests, read log
files, and start or stop testing sessions.
•
SunVTS TTY user interface ( vtstty )
For a Sun system that does not have a monitor, SunVTS has a TTY interface
that can be used on a dumb terminal.
•
Command line and script interface ( vtstalk and vts_cmd )
Both vtstalk and vts_cmd allow users to give individual commands and
receive messages from the SunVTS kernel without running a user interface.
The SunVTS kernel will send any response to the standard input.
