Stopping the Test Session

Once you have adequately tested your system, you can stop the testing session and review the results by selecting the Stop button.

SunVTS ends the test execution automatically for a number of reasons. For example, if you have enabled the Single Pass option on the Schedule Option menu, all tests run once and stop, but the elapsed time continues to increment.

Testing stops if an error occurs and the run at error was not set or, if run at error was set but the error count reached the maximum number of errors.

Stop Button

Click the Stop button to stop the testing session. The System Status panel temporarily displays "stopping" while the tests wind down. The amount of time it takes to stop depends on which tests you are running. For example, the tapetest requires time to rewind the tape or remove the mounted partitions and temporary files. A pop-up menu displays the message, "testing completed: x pass(es), x error(s)" when testing is complete.

After you stop the testing session, you can view the System Map to see how many passes and errors occurred per test, and you can display or print the log files.

If a test hangs, SunVTS remains in Stop mode, and waits for the test to terminate. (This is probably due to a hardware problem.) Deselect the test, which signals SunVTS to ignore the stopped test and return to Idle mode.
