Diagnosing Faults With SunVTS Software

You can use Oracle's Sun Validation Test Suite (SunVTS) to test the functionality of drives in the storage module. SunVTS provides a comprehensive diagnostic tool run from a server to test and validate Sun hardware by verifying the connectivity and functionality of most hardware controllers and devices on Sun platforms. SunVTS software can be tailored with modifiable test instances and processor affinity features.

The minimum version supported for your storage module is SunVTS 7.0ps6.

The following tests are available in SunVTS:

• Processor

• Memory

• Disks

• Graphics

• Media

• I/O ports

• Interconnects

• Network

• Environment

• HBA

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 Sun VTS 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.
