The servers are shipped with a bootable diagnostics CD that contains Sun VTS software.
SunVTS provides a comprehensive diagnostic tool that tests and validates Sun hardware by verifying the connectivity and functionality of most hardware controllers and devices on Sun platforms. SunVTS software can be tailored with modifiable test instances and processor affinity features.
The following tests are available in SunVTS:
Processor
Memory
Disk
Graphics
Media
Ioports
Interconnects
Network
Environment
HBA
SunVTS software has a sophisticated graphical user interface (GUI) that provides test configuration and status monitoring. The user interface can be run on one system to display the Sun VTS testing of another system on the network. SunVTS software also provides a TTY-mode interface for situations in which running a GUI is not possible.
