Oracle VTS 7.0 Patch Set 15 Software Release Notes |
These sections describe new features and issues related to Oracle VTS 7.0, Patch Set 15 software:
Currently, a newer version Oracle VTS 7.0 PS15 is available, and it is highly recommended for users running the previous version of PS15 release. Oracle Solaris 10 users can use the patch ID 149395-02 to update to this newer version. Whereas, for Oracle Solaris 11 users, the package to update to this new release is available from S11.1 SRU4.
You can use the following command line entries to identify which version of Oracle VTS 7.0 PS15 you are using:
For example, the output of .version file command can be, 7.0 PS15.1 or 7.0PS15 depending on the PS 15 release being used.
The following changes were made to the harness and CPU diagnostics:
The following changes were made to the input/output diagnostics:

This section describes the know issues in Oracle VTS 7.0 PS15 released in February:
IB-CX2 fails for sunvts networktest on SPARC T4-1B and next generation SPARC blade platforms.
Plumb the IB ports before running Network test. You may verify if all IB ports are plumbed up by running ifconfig -a. When all IB ports are listed with IP addresses, then nettest will start on them rather than networktest.
When Oracle VTS networktest internal loopback testing is run on "Sun Dual Port 10GbE PCIe 2.0 Networking Cards with Intel 82599 10GbE Controller" for longer duration, it might fail intermittently with following error. This failure does not affect normal usage of the networking card.
When VTS.networktest runs loopback test multiple times on multiple igb ports in Component Stress mode, the igb device goes into an unknown state and stops responding to basic DLPI calls for physical address.
The networktest is designed to run only on unplumbed interfaces on the system, but vtsk probes and starts networktest on the interfaces which are part of the Aggregated-Interface(plumbed). The networktest fails with the following error message.
This section describes the known issues.
If there is an entry, RM_Disk_Ignore_Target All=Ignore, set in the /etc/sunvts/conf/sunvts.conf file then Diskmediatest fails with the following message:
Disable the vold or volfs process, if running.
The ramtest fails on an OPL system, because the memloops option for ramtest is removed from the binary but not from the profiles.
Run Interconnect LT with IO Bus option only.
The test tries to execute an instruction that is not supported by the Fujitsu M10 processors. It uses getisax(2) and checks for a specific bit-mask in the result to check if the instruction is supported. The instruction was supported in an earlier UltraSPARC processor but is not present in the recent ones. The bit-mask representing this instruction has been re-used to represent a different set of instructions on Fujitsu M10 systems. Seeing it in the result of getisax(2), fputest assumes that the original UltraSPARC instruction is available in the system and tries to execute it, which leads to the SIGILL.
Update to the latest version of Oracle VTS 7.0 PS15 release.
The dtlbtest fails with a fatal message on the new Fujitsu M10 processors.
Page size 64KB not supported on this OS version or unavailable for given TLB (TLB-ALL) for CPU model (SPARC64-X) |
Update to the latest version of Oracle VTS 7.0 PS15 release.
The libvtssysinfo does not recognize Fujitsu M10 processors and hence returns -1 for all APIs. l3sramtest_probe does not handle the libvtssysinfo failures and continues to run even after the libvtssysinfo API fails.
Update to the latest version of Oracle VTS 7.0 PS15 release.
Oracle VTS 7.0 PS15 does not recognize ORCL.SPARC64-X token name and fails to compare platform name. When the vts commend tries to compare ORCL,SPARC64-X by strncpy(3C) in __1cEUtilTcreateDumpOfProfile6M_i_(), it accesses NULL pointer.
Update to the latest version of Oracle VTS 7.0 PS15 release.
Processor LT might get stopped during cleanup waiting for mutex lock.
Update to the latest version of Oracle VTS 7.0 PS15 release.
The networktest fails net2, and hence the /var/sunvts/logs/networktest.kstat/ directory is not created.
Remove the networktest.kstat directory under /var/sunvts/logs and create a new directory with the same name and restart vtsk.
networktest fails to read data in Auto( External) loopback mode on ixgbe port, and displays the following error message.
Update to the latest version of Oracle VTS 7.0 PS15 release.
This is issue is seen on systems containing more than 100 network ports, and the networktest probe takes more time and appears to have stopped.
Update to the latest version of Oracle VTS 7.0 PS15 release.
By default, the cddvdtest fails on USB3.0 drive testing on DVR-R media.
Update to the latest version of Oracle VTS 7.0 PS15 release.
The networktest probe core dumps on systems having a higher number of ports.
Update to the latest version of Oracle VTS 7.0 PS15 release.
