The Sun Blade 8000 System Chassis is shipped with a Bootable Diagnostic CD that contains the SunVTS software.
SunVTS is a Validation Test Suite that provides a diagnostic tool designed to test Sun hardware. Its multiple diagnostic hardware tests verify the connectivity and functionality of most hardware controllers and devices for SPARC and X86 architectures. SunVTS also provides an infrastructure for programmers to develop their own tests and run them using the SunVTS interface.
SunVTS supports the following diagnostic tests for x86 platforms:
CD DVD Test (cddvdtest)
CPU Test (cputest)
Disk and Floppy Drive Tests (disktest)
Data Translation Look-aside Buffer (dtlbtest)
Floating Point Unit Test (fputest)
Network hardware Test (nettest)
Ethernet Loopback (netlbtest)
Physical Memory Test (pmemtest)
Serial Port Test (serialtest)
System Test (systest)
Universal Serial Bus Test (usbtest)
Virtual Memory Test (vmemtest)
BMC Environment Test (bmcenvironment)
Emulex HBA Test (emlxtest)
Infiniban Host Channel Adapter Test (ibhcatest)
Level 1: Data Cache Test (L1dcachetest)
Level 2: Cache Test (L2sramtest)
RAM Test (ramtest)
SunVTS supports testing on both 32-bit and 64-bit operating systems.
SunVTS software presents a sophisticated graphical user interface (GUI) that provides test configuration and status monitoring. You can remotely run the SunVTS tests from one system and view the testing results of another system on the network.
