The .customtest File Format

The.customtest file is located in in two places. Modify the 32-bit or 64-bit .custometest file according to the Solaris environment that you are using:

• 32-bit: /opt/SUNWvts/bin/.custometest

• 64-bit: /opt/SUNWvts/bin/sparcv9/.custometest

Each line in this file is made up of two or more fields that are separated by a semicolon where:

• The first field is the label or device name (mandatory field).

• The second field is the test name (mandatory field).

• The third field is an option line (optional field). If used, this field must be in the format specified.

• The fourth field is used if the test is scalable. If used, append the keyword SCA to this field.

A user test definition requires a minimum of two fields, separated by a semicolon, as shown in the following .customtest file format examples:

% your_label_name;your_test_name

1. To add the scalability option, append the keyword SCA.

   ---

   % your_label_name;your_test_name;SCA
   

   ---

1. To custom build an option menu, add an option specification:

   ---

   % Option_Name<Option_Type|Value|Default_Value|Command_Line_Option>

   ---

1. To specify more than one option, separate each option by a comma:

   ---

   % label_name;test_name;Numeric<NUMERIC|0,100|50|numeric>, Exc_Choice<EXC_CHOICE|Top,Middle,Bottom|Middle|exc_choice>, Inc_Choice<INC_CHOICE|Left,Center,Right|Left+Center+Right|inc_choice>,Toggle<TOGGLE|This,That|This|toggle>, Text <TEXT|20|Type_Here|text>, Slidebar<SLIDEBAR|0,10|5|slidebar>, Errors<CYCLE|Yes,No|No|errors>, Cycle<CYCLE|First,Second,Third|First|cycle>;SCA
   

   ---

SunVTS invokes the above test as follows:

% ./test_name -s[vq..] [-i n] -o dev=user[0,1..],Command_Line_Option=Value...

You cannot use the customtest facility with a test probe attached. You must ensure that the binaries are compatible with the version of the Solaris kernel on which SunVTS is currently running.
