Using Sunvts - Sun Microsystems Fire V240 Administration Manual

If your site uses SEAM security, you must have the SEAM client and server software
installed in your networked environment and configured properly in both Solaris
and SunVTS software. If your site does not use SEAM security, do not choose the
SEAM 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 may find yourself unable to run
SunVTS tests. For more information, see the SunVTS User's Guide and the
instructions accompanying the SEAM software.

Using SunVTS

SunVTS, the Sun Validation and Test Suite, is an online diagnostics tool which you
can use to verify the configuration and functionality of hardware controllers,
devices, and platforms. It runs in the Solaris operating environment and presents the
following interfaces:
command line interface
serial (tty) interface
SunVTS software lets you view and control testing sessions on a remotely connected
server. Below is a list of some of the tests that are available:
