Before you begin running the HCTS application, you must complete certain actions:
If certifying for Solaris 8 Operating System x86 Platform Edition, you must install all of the Solaris 8 x86 cluster patches from sunsolve.
To qualify for hardware certification, you must successfully run all of the manual tests described in the associated test plan before you run the HCTS.
If you have not already downloaded and installed the HCTS package, see the Hardware Certification Test Suite 2.3 Installation Guide for more information about how to install HCTS.
See the Release Notes provided with the HCTS package for a list of Known Issues and the associated Workaround.
Installing HCTS on your test system creates a security issue. During the installation process, the installation script executes an xhost + command that opens up access to your system. HCTS should only be installed on a non-production system on a private network.
