x86: SunVTS 6.0

SunVTS is a comprehensive diagnostic tool that tests and validates Sun hardware by verifying the connectivity and functionality of most hardware controllers and devices on Sun platforms.

SunVTS support for x86 systems is new in the Solaris Express 8/04 release and in the Solaris 10 3/05 release. The SunVTS infrastructure and a few core diagnostics are now available for x86 platforms. The current x86 support is for the 32-bit operating system only.

The Solaris 10 1/06 release provides SunVTS 6.1. See SunVTS 6.1.

You must install the x86 version of the SunVTS packages in order to use SunVTS on x86 platforms. The software packages use the same names as in the SPARC environment. A new package, SUNWvtsr, is provided for both the SPARC and x86 packages for this release. The SUNWvtsr package contains the SunVTS framework configuration files in the root partition. The x86 packages are located in the /sol_10_x86/s0/Solaris_10/ExtraValue/CoBundled/SunVTS_6.0 directory of the Solaris Software media. The SPARC packages are located in the /sol_10_sparc/s0/Solaris_10/ExtraValue/CoBundled/SunVTS_6.0 directory of the Solaris Software media.
