SunVTS functionality is available in the control domain and guest domains on certain LDoms software releases and certain platforms. SunVTSTM is Sun's Validation Test Suite, which provides a comprehensive diagnostic tool that tests and validates Sun hardware by verifying the connectivity and proper functioning of most hardware controllers and devices on Sun servers.

Sun Management Center 4.0 Add-On Software can be used only on the control domain with the Logical Domains Manager software enabled. Sun Management Center is an open, extensible system monitoring and management solution. It uses the JavaTM runtime environment and a variant of the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) to provide integrated and comprehensive enterprise-wide management of Sun products and their subsystems, components, and peripheral devices. Support for hardware monitoring within the Sun Management Center environment is achieved through the use of appropriate hardware server module add-on software, which presents hardware configuration and fault reporting information to the Sun Management Center server and console. Refer to the Sun Management Center 4.0 Release Notes for more information about using Sun Management Center 4.0 on the supported servers.
