Known Issues

This section describes known issues.

Network LT Does Not Report a Pass in Component Stress Mode on Netra CP3220
(CR 7045353)

Some platform configurations such as the Netra CP3220 do not support network loopback tests on nxge0 and nxge1 ports.

Running xnetlbtest on the Netra CP3220 nxge0 and nxge1 ports is not supported. However, xnetlbtest is supported on nxge2 and nxge3 ports, and nettest is supported on nxge0, nxge1, nxge2, and nxge3 ports.

Workaround:

Disable nxge0 and nxge1 ports to avoid the test failures. Add the following entries to the /etc/sunvts/conf/sunvts.conf file and then restart Oracle VTS:

Network_Ignore_Target nxge0=Ignore
Network_Ignore_Target nxge1=Ignore

These entries disable the testing of the nxge0 and nxge1 ports.

sunvts.conf Parser Does Not Parse Some Input Values (CR 7061378)

The following sunvts.conf entry cannot be parsed by the Oracle VTS library:

Disk_Data_Write<blank_space><tab>All=Enable

The above option fails to enable write tests on the disk.

Workaround:

For sunvts.conf values, use <tab> instead of <blank_space>.

For example, change:

Disk_Data_Write<blank_space><tab>All=Enable

to:

Disk_Data_Write<tab><tab>All=Enable

If no blank spaces are inserted in the config file, it works properly.

GUI Help Content Is Not Displayed in the Oracle Solaris 11 OS (CR 7081266)

The GUI help content is not available in the Oracle VTS 7.0 PS12 release. Clicking the Help button at the upper right corner on the GUI screen displays the following message:

Help page is not available currently
javax/help/Help Set
