SunVTS software has a sophisticated graphical user interface (GUI) that provides test configuration and status monitoring. The user interface can be run on one system to display the SunVTS testing of another system on the network. SunVTS software also provides a TTY-mode interface for situations in which running a GUI is not possible.

Diagnosing Server Problems With the Bootable Diagnostics CD

SunVTS 6.4 or later software is preinstalled on your server. The server is also shipped with the Bootable Diagnostics CD. This CD is designed so that the server will boot from the CD. This CD boots and starts SunVTS software. Diagnostic tests run and write output to log files that the service technician can use to determine the problem with the server.

Requirements

■To use the diagnostics CD you must have a keyboard, mouse, and monitor attached to the server on which you are performing diagnostics, or available through a remote KVM.
