spiftest Hardware Requirements

Before running the SunVTS system exerciser, make sure you install the cards to be tested and the device driver. You should also reboot your system with the boot -r command to reconfigure the system and allow the SunVTS kernel to recognize the new driver.

The spiftest must be run in Intervention mode.

The following minimum hardware configuration is required to successfully run the Internal test:

• SBus-based SPARC desktop system with an SBus slot

• Serial parallel controller card, installed in one of the SBus slots

The following hardware is also required to run the other SunVTS serial parallel controller tests:
