Solaris 7 5/99 Release Notes Supplement for Sun Hardware

SunVTS 3.2 Issues

The following issues apply to the SunVTS(TM) 3.2 product.

New Features in This Release

A new test called sunpcitest was added to support testing of the SunPCi plug-in PCI card.

SunVTS OPEN LOOK User Interface Support

The SunVTS OPEN LOOK user interface may not support the latest SunVTS features. For full feature support, use the SunVTS CDE or TTY interface. The SunVTS OPEN LOOK user interface will be sustained, but not enhanced, as long as OPEN LOOK is supported in the Solaris environment.

Running SunVTS Online Diagnostics through Sun Enterprise SyMON

The SunVTS 3.2 online diagnostics feature (SUNWodu) is not accessible through the SyMON interface.

Instead, you can start SunVTS so it will run safely in an online environment by using the vtsui.online command.

Example:


# /opt/SUNWvts/bin/vtsui.online -h hostname

For more information about running SunVTS in an online or offline environment, refer to the SunVTS 3.2 User's Guide.

Disk Test (disktest) Mounting Issues

As of SunVTS 3.0, SunVTS disktest by default does not mount any mountable partitions. To have SunVTS mount all partitions which contain a file system, set the environment variable BYPASS_FS_PROBE to 0 (zero), then start SunVTS. For more details, refer to the disktest chapter in the SunVTS 3.2 Test Reference Manual.

The SunVTS User Interface Disappears (4122829)

In some cases, the SunVTS user interface disappears during a SunVTS test session. The SunVTS kernel is still active and the test session may continue to run.

Workaround: Restart the SunVTS user interface.

Example (starting the SunVTS CDE user interface):


# /opt/SUNWvts/bin/vysui

Some Devices Not Displayed Under Physical Mapping (4228489)

In some cases, some devices that are displayed under logical mapping are not displayed under physical mapping.

Workaround: Choose logical mapping in the SunVTS main window to select devices that do not come up under physical mapping.
