The following is an example of invoking vcatest in 64-bit mode from the SunVTS infrastructure. The following command tests RSA, DSA, and MD5 on vca2:

#/opt/SUNWvts/bin/sparcv9/vcatest -f -o dev=vca2,tl=RSA+DSA+MD5

When performing vcatest from the command line, omission of an option produces the default behavior for that option, as stated in TABLE 7-3.

TABLE 7-3vcatest Command-Line Syntax

Option

Description

 

 

dev=vcaN

Specifies the instance of the device to test such as vca0 or vca2.

 

Defaults to vca0 if not included. Note that N specifies the placement

 

of the instance number of the device being tested.

tl=testlist

Specifies the list of subtests to be performed. The subtests for tl are

 

separated by the + (plus) character. The supported subtests are

 

CDMF, DES, 3DES, DSA, RSA, MD5, SHA1, and RNG, so

 

tl=CDMF+DES+3DES+DSA+RSA+MD5+SHA1+RNG enables all

 

subtests. You can also insert tl=all which performs all tests.

 

Defaults to all if no subtests are specified.

 

 

To Perform netlbtest

1.As superuser, start SunVTS.

#/opt/SUNWvts/bin/sunvts

Refer to the SunVTS user’s guide for detailed startup instructions.

The following instructions assume that SunVTS was started using the CDE user interface.

2.On the SunVTS Diagnostic main window, set the System Map to Logical mode.

Note Physical mode is also supported; however, this procedure assumes you are using Logical mode.

3.Disable all tests by clearing their check boxes.

4.Select the check box for Network, then select the plus box for Network to display all tests in the Network group.

4000 specifications

Sun Microsystems, a pivotal player in the computing industry during the late 20th and early 21st centuries, was renowned for its innovative hardware and software solutions. Among its notable offerings were the Sun-6000, Sun-5000, and Sun-4000 series, powerful workstations and servers designed for a range of enterprise-level applications.

The Sun-6000 series, introduced in the early 1990s, marked a significant advancement in computing performance. These systems were built on the SPARC architecture, which facilitated high levels of processing power and multitasking capabilities. One of the main features of the 6000 series was its scalability, allowing organizations to increase their processing power by adding more modules. It also offered robust graphics performance, making it ideal for scientific visualization and complex data analysis.

Next in line was the Sun-5000 series. Launched shortly after the 6000 series, the 5000 line was celebrated for its reliability and ease of management. This series emphasized a balanced architecture, which combined processing capabilities with ample memory and storage options. Key characteristics included support for multiple processors, leading to improved performance for demanding applications. Additionally, the 5000 systems featured advanced input/output capabilities, ensuring fast data transfers—crucial for database applications and web servers.

Finally, the Sun-4000 series targeted businesses seeking affordable yet potent computing solutions. These servers boasted a modular design, allowing for easy upgrades and maintenance. The 4000 series was particularly notable for its support for various operating systems, including SunOS and Solaris. These systems were engineered to handle a range of workloads, from enterprise resource planning to web hosting, while still fitting into a value-driven budget.

Across all three series, Sun Microsystems prioritized compatibility and integration, ensuring that each system offered seamless connectivity with Sun's software solutions and third-party applications. Their commitment to open standards and interoperability set them apart in the competitive landscape of enterprise computing. Additionally, the use of high-quality components lent the systems durability, making them a wise investment for organizations looking to future-proof their IT infrastructure.

In summary, the Sun-6000, 5000, and 4000 series exemplified Sun Microsystems' ethos of innovation and reliability. These powerful systems catered to diverse business needs, setting benchmarks in performance and functionality that continue to influence modern computing.
