How To Exercise The System Using Sunvts Software - Sun Microsystems Sun Fire V440 Diagnostics And Troubleshooting Manual

How to Exercise the System Using
SunVTS Software
Before You Begin
The Solaris operating environment must be running. You also need to make sure that
SunVTS validation test software is installed on your system. See:
"How to Check Whether SunVTS Software Is Installed" on page 100
SunVTS software requires that you use one of two security schemes. The security
scheme you choose must be properly configured in order for you to perform this
procedure. For details, see:
SunVTS User's Guide
"SunVTS Software and Security" on page 42
SunVTS software features both character-based and graphics-based interfaces. This
procedure assumes that you are using the graphical user interface (GUI) on a system
running the Common Desktop Environment (CDE). For more information about the
character-based SunVTS TTY interface, and specifically for instructions on accessing
it by tip or telnet commands, see the SunVTS User's Guide.
SunVTS software can be run in several modes. This procedure assumes that you are
using the default Functional mode. For a synopsis of the modes, see:
"Exercising the System Using SunVTS Software" on page 40
This procedure also assumes that the Sun Fire V440 server is "headless"—that is, it is
not equipped with a monitor capable of displaying bitmapped graphics. In this case,
you access the SunVTS GUI by logging in remotely from a machine that has a
graphics display.
Finally, this procedure describes how to run SunVTS tests in general. Individual tests
may presume the presence of specific hardware, or may require specific drivers,
cables, or loopback connectors. For information about test options and prerequisites,
see:
