Open Issues

Missing Sun Java Web Console Packages for OpenSolaris on SPARC and x86 Platforms

The Sun Java Web Console packages are no longer included in the OpenSolaris OS releases. The SunVTS Browser User Interface requires those packages to run.

Workaround: To enable the BUI, you need to download and install additional packages on your system. [CR 6846418]

Download Instructions

1. Download the Sun Java Web Console 3.0.2 packages from:

http://www.sun.com/download/products.xml?id=46cb72a9

Select the Solaris 10 packages for your platform (x86 or SPARC) and download them.

2. Copy the file webconsole3.0.2-solsparc.tar.gz (or webconsole3.0.2-solx86.tar.gz for x86 systems) and place it in your testing system at a local directory, for example /usr/osol.


# cd /usr/osol
# gunzip webconsole3.0.2-solsparc.tar.gz
# chmod 755 webconsole3.0.2-solsparc.tar
# cat webconsole3.02-solsparc.tar |tar xvf -

3. Use pkgadd to add the following packages to your system:


# cd SunOS-5.11-sparc
# pkgadd -d . SUNWmconr SUNWmcos SUNWmcosx SUNWjato SUNWmcon SUNWmctag

4. Verify that your system has the following packages installed:

SUNWj6cfg, SUNWj6dev, SUNWj6dmo, SUNWj6man, SUNWj6rt, SUNWjhrt

5. If necessary, install the above packages from this website:

http://pkg.opensolaris.org/dev

For more information go to:

http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=7806

Possible Installation Issue: Install and Uninstall Using the Same Program

Use the same tool or utility for installation and removal of the SunVTS software. If you use pkgadd for installation, use pkgrm to uninstall; if you use Web Start for installation, use the Product Registry to uninstall.

Possible Runtime Issues for Both x86 and SPARC Platforms

The SUNWcakrnt2000 package should only be installed on a Netra T2000 system. If you installed this package on any other systems, you should remove it. [CR 6490977]

Workaround: Remove this package from all other systems with this command:


# pkgrm SUNWcakrnt2000

diskprobe Registers disktest Twice for Same Disk on x86 Systems

On x86 systems, if a disk is not partitioned, diskprobe registers disktest twice for the same disk and fails while running the test.

Workaround: Before you run the test, partition the disk using fdisk. [CR 6848592]

Pmap/Ramtest Core Dumps on SPARC and x64 Systems

Under certain conditions, execution of Memory LT may result in a core file due to the pmap(1) utility of Solaris. This core does not impact the execution of the test because the core is from pmap and not VTS memory/ramtest. To verify that the core is from pmap(1) command, use the file(1) command in Solaris. For example:


%file core
 
core: ELF 64-bit MSB core file SPARCV9 Version 1, from ’pmap’

Workaround: You can delete the core after it is determined to be from "pmap".
