SunVTS software provides access to four different log files:
SunVTS test error log – Contains time-stamped SunVTS test error messages. The log file path name is /var/sunvts/logs/sunvts.err. This file is not created until a SunVTS test failure occurs.
SunVTS kernel error log – Contains time-stamped SunVTS kernel and SunVTS probe errors. SunVTS kernel errors are errors that relate to running SunVTS, and not to testing of devices. The log file path name is /var/sunvts/logs/vtsk.err. This file is not created until SunVTS reports a SunVTS kernel error.
SunVTS information log – Contains informative messages that are generated when you start and stop the SunVTS test sessions. The log file path name is /var/sunvts/logs/sunvts.info. This file is not created until a SunVTS test session runs.
Solaris system message log – A log of all the general Solaris events logged by syslogd. The path name of this log file is /var/adm/messages.
