Updating SunVTS to Recognize the Adapter

Current versions of SunVTS do not recognize the Sun PCI-Express Dual Gigabit Ethernet Low-Profile adapter. You must update the SunVTS configuration.

▼To Update SunVTS to Recognize the Low-Profile Adapter

1.Connect a loopback cable.

2.Ensure that the SunVTS software and the ipge driver are installed on your system.

3.Add the following lines to the /opt/SUNWvts/lib/conf/netlbtest.conf and /opt/SUNWvts/lib/conf/nettest.conf files:
