SunVTS Diagnostic Software

The SunVTS software executes multiple diagnostic hardware tests from a single user interface and 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.

Note – SunVTS diagnostic software is not currently available for Solaris x86 Operating Systems.

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

To use the nettest diagnostic, you must have the SunVTS software installed on your system. Refer to your Solaris documentation for installation instructions.

Refer to the SunVTS documentation (listed in TABLE B-1) for instructions on how to run and monitor the nettest diagnostic. These SunVTS documents are available online at the following URL:
