The SunVTS 6.4PS1 software, and subsequent compatible versions, are supported on the Sun Blade T6320 server module.

SunVTS installation instructions are described in the Sun VTS 6.4 User’s Guide, 820- 1669.

2.10.2Exercising the System Using SunVTS Software

Before you begin, the Solaris OS must be running. You should verify that SunVTS validation test software is installed on your system. See Section 2.10.1, “Checking SunVTS Software Installation” on page 2-51.

The SunVTS installation process requires that you specify one of two security schemes to use when running SunVTS. The security scheme you choose must be properly configured in the Solaris OS for you to run SunVTS.

SunVTS software features both character-based and graphics-based interfaces.

For more information about the character-based SunVTS TTY interface, and specifically for instructions on accessing it by TIP or telnet commands, refer to the Sun VTS 6.4 User’s Guide.

Finally, this procedure describes how to run SunVTS tests in general. Individual tests might presume the presence of specific hardware, or might require specific drivers, cables, or loopback connectors. For information about test options and prerequisites, refer to the following documentation:

2.10.3Steps for Exercising the System With SunVTS Software

1.Log in as superuser to a system with a graphics display.

The display system should be one with a frame buffer and monitor capable of displaying bitmap graphics such as those produced by the SunVTS GUI.

2.Enable the remote display. On the display system, type:

#/usr/openwin/bin/xhost + test-system

where test-systemis the name of the server you plan to test.
