SunVTS Diagnostic Software

The SunVTS softwareexecutes multiple diagnostic hardwaretests 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 – Ensure that you have SunVTS diagnostic software 6.2 or higher installed for
full support of Sun PCI-Express Dual Gigabit Ethernet adapters.
Youcan use the SunVTS nettest diagnostic to test all of the networking interfaces
on the system, including the interfaces on the adapter.
Touse 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 TABLEB-1) for instructions on how to
run and monitor the nettest diagnostic. These SunVTS documents are available
