Diagnostic Software |
This appendix provides an overview of the Oracle VTS diagnostic application and instructions for updating the VTS software to recognize Oracle’s Sun Dual 10 GbE XFP PCI Express Card. This appendix contains the following sections:
The VTS software executes multiple diagnostic hardware tests from a single user interface and is used to verify the configuration and functionality of most hardware controllers and devices. The VTS software operates primarily from a graphical user interface, enabling test parameters to be set quickly and easily while a diagnostic test operation is being performed.
| Note - VTS diagnostic software is not currently available for Oracle Solaris x86 Operating Systems. |
The VTS nettest diagnostic can be used to test all of the networking interfaces on the system, including the interfaces on the adapter.
To use the nettest diagnostic, you must have the VTS software installed on your system. Refer to your Oracle Solaris documentation for installation instructions.
Refer to the VTS documentation (listed in TABLE B-1) for instructions on how to run and monitor the nettest diagnostic. These VTS documents are available online at the following URL:
http://www.oracle.com/pls/topic/lookup?ctx=E19253-01&id=homepage
Select the document for the Oracle Solaris release on your system.
|
Describes each Oracle VTS test (including the nettest) and describes the various test options and command-line arguments |
|
Use VTS 6.3 or later. You will need to update the VTS configuration to recognize the adapter.
|
2. Ensure that the VTS software and the nxge driver are installed on your system.
3. Add the following lines to the /opt/SUNWvts/lib/conf/netlbtest.conf and /opt/SUNWvts/lib/conf/nettest.conf files:
You must have the Ethernet card and the device driver installed, a loopback connector in place, and Intervention mode enabled before running netlbtest. netlbtest cannot run if the network interface is connected to a live network, and requires that the Ethernet device be configured offline before running the test. Use the ifconfig(1M) command to bring the Ethernet device down before running netlbtest.
|
1. Ensure that the Oracle VTS software and the nxge driver are installed on your system.
3. Unplumb the interface from the system, using the ifconfig command:
Where instance is the instance number of the interface.
Refer to Oracle VTS documentation for instructions on how to run netlbtest.
