VTS Network Loopback Tests Fail on qlge Interfaces

The VTS network loopback tests fail on qlge interfaces with the following message: 


01/26/10 09:51:43 unknown SunVTS7.0ps6: VTSID 8008 077,184@0,1):
Network.netlbtest.FATAL
qlge3(/pci@0,0/pci8086,340e@7/pci111d,806e@0/pci111d,806e@4/pci1
"The device driver does not support loopback interface."
Recommended_Action(s): <Check device driver SW version.> <Try 
again, if the problem persists, call your authorized service
provider.>

[CR 6926521]

Workaround: The qlge network port testing needs to be disabled, unless a driver patch for Sun CR 6926521 is available.

VTS7.0ps9 onward patches do not install completely on VTS7.0ps8 and 7.0ps9 packages

The SUNWvtss package containing the Browser User Interface (BUI) and middle server was removed in the 7.0ps8 and 7.0ps9 releases. The BUI has been replaced by the Graphical User Interface (GUI). The GUI jar file is added as a part of the main SUNWvts package.

Starting with the VTS7.0ps9 patch, an empty SUNWvtss packge is also released. Future VTS7.0ps patches will also deliver an empty SUNWvtss package.

VTS patches starting with VTS7.0ps10 onwards will not install completely over VTS7.0ps8 and VTS7.0ps9 packages. The SUNWvtss package does not get updated.

[CR 6991371]

Workaround: When installing the VTS7.0ps9 patch the following warning message is displayed.

The following requested patches have packages not installed on the system. Package SUNWvtss from directory SUNWvtss in patch 144734/5-03 is not installed on the system. Changes for package SUNWvtss will not be applied to the system.

You can ignore this warning. The patch will not be updated for SUNWvtss, because it is not a mandatory package for running VTS.
