Introduction

This manual is a supplement to the SunVTS 5.1 Test Reference Manual and describes new tests and test enhancements that are released with the SunVTS 5.1 Patch Set releases. The new tests and test enhancements included in this document are provided in the SunVTS 5.1 Patch Set 1 (PS1) software that is distributed on the Solaris Software Supplement CD.

SunVTS 5.1 PS1 was introduced and designed to run in the Solaris 8 HW 12/02 operating environment. However, the SunVTS 5.1 PS1 software is compatible with Solaris 8 2/02, Solaris 9, and Solaris 9 9/02 operating environments. It is recommended that you run SunVTS 5.1 PS1 software in either of these operating environments.

Refer to the SunVTS 5.1 Test Reference Manual for detailed information on SunVTS software and the full collection of tests released in SunVTS 5.1. For overall test configuration modes, interfaces, and options refer to the SunVTS 5.1 User's Guide.

The following new tests were introduced in this release:

Blade Support Chip Test (bsctest), described in Chapter 2.
Environmental Test (env6test), described in Chapter 3.
I2C Inter-Integrated Circuit Test (i2c2test), described in Chapter 4.

The following previously released tests were enhanced in this release:

Integer Unit Test (iutest), described in Chapter 5.
System Service Processor Test (ssptest), described in Chapter 6.

Note - The System Service Processor test (ssptest) was previously titled the Remote System Control test (rsctest) in SunVTS 5.1. The reason for this change is that this test now supports Advanced Lights-Out Management hardware in addition to both Remote System Control 1.0 and 2.0 hardware.
