How to Exercise the System

Sun provides the Sun Validation Test Suite (SunVTS) tool for exercising your server and its subsystems. If your system does not seem to function correctly, yet it still passes the firmware-based diagnostics and boots its operating system, then you can use SunVTS to run individual tests that verify the functionality of most hardware controllers and devices.

How to Check Whether SunVTS Software Is Installed

Before You Begin

SunVTS software is an optional package that may or may not have been loaded when your system software was installed.

To check whether SunVTS software is installed, you must access your system from a remote machine logged in to the server, connect an alphanumeric terminal or graphics console to the server, or establish a tip connection to another Sun system. For more information, see:

■“How to Attach an Alphanumeric (ASCII) Terminal” on page 34

■“How to Configure a Local Graphics Console” on page 36

■“How to Set Up a tip Connection” on page 183

What to Do

1.Type the following:

%pkginfo -l SUNWvts

■If SunVTS software is loaded, information about the package will be displayed.

■If SunVTS software is not loaded, you will see an error message:

ERROR: information for "SUNWvts" was not found
