Sun VTS Bootable Diagnostics CD Issues

SunVTS ramtest Might Cause System to Reboot
When Testing More Than Seven Hours (6369893)
A memory test under exclusive mode in SunVTS (version 6.1 and earlier), ramtest,
exercises a corner case that does not follow AMD programming guidelines.
Therefore, on early Sun Fire X4100 or Sun Fire X4200 servers, ramtest might cause
the system to reboot after an extended test run of more than seven hours. Sun Fire
X4100 and Sun Fire X4200 systems running software that follows AMD
programming guidelines, which most compilers generate, will function properly.
Workaround
This problem is fixed in Sun VTS version 6.1sp1 and later. To get the latest version of
SunVTS, you can download it from this URL:
http://www.sun.com/oem/products/vts/
If you have SunVTS version 6.1 or earlier, SunVTS pmemtest and vmemtest are
suitable memory diagnostics for extended test runs. When performing test runs of
more than seven hours, use pmemtest or vmemtest, rather than ramtest.

Meter Button in Bootable Diagnostics CD,

Version 2.1f Does Not Work (6465167)

SunVTS 6.2 Graphical User Interface (GUI), shipped on the Bootable Diagnostics CD,
Version 2.1f, has a Meter button. This Meter button does not work because it requires
the Solaris stdperformeter utility, which is not available for bootable diagnostics.
