About Exercising the System

It is relatively easy to detect when a system component fails outright. However,
when a system has an intermittent problem or seems to be "behaving strangely," a
software tool that stresses or exercises the computer's many subsystems can help
disclose the source of the emerging problem and prevent long periods of reduced
functionality or system downtime.

SunVTS software
Hardware Diagnostic Suite software
shows the FRUs that each system exercising tool is capable of isolating.
