SunVTS Diagnostic Software

The SunVTS software executes multiple diagnostic hardware tests from a single user interface. SunVTS is used to verify the configuration and functionality of most hardware controllers and devices. The SunVTS software operates primarily from a graphical user interface, enabling test parameters to be set quickly and easily while a diagnostic test operation is being performed.

The SunVTS nettest diagnostic can be used to test all of the networking interfaces on the system, including the interfaces on the FEM.

To use the nettest diagnostic, you must have the SunVTS software installed on your system. Use SunVTS 6.4 Patch Set 3 or later. You will need to update the SunVTS configuration to recognize the FEM. Refer to the SunVTS documentation in TABLE B-1.
