7. (Optional) Customize individual tests.

Youcan customize individual tests by right-clicking on the name of the test. For

example, in the illustration under FIGURE2-7, right-clicking on the text string

bg0(nettest) brings up a menu that enables you to configure this Ethernet test.

8. Start testing.

Click the Start button that is located at the top left of the SunVTS window.Status

and errormessages appear in the test messages area located acrossthe bottom of the

window.You can stop testing at any time by clicking the Stop button.

During testing, SunVTS software logs all status and error messages. Toview these,

click the Log button or select Log Files from the Reports menu. This opens a log

window from which you can choose to view the following logs:

■Information —Detailed versions of all the status and error messages that appear in

the test messages area.

■TestError —Detailed error messages from individual tests.

■VTS Kernel Error—Error messages pertaining to SunVTS software itself. You

should look here if SunVTS software appears to be acting strangely,especially

when it starts up.

■UNIXMessages (/var/adm/messages)—A file containing messages generated by

the operating system and various applications.

■Log Files (/var/opt/SUNWvts/logs)—A directory containing the log files.
