SunVTS (Sun Validation Test Suite) tests and validates Oracle's Sun hardware by verifying the connectivity and functionality of hardware devices, controllers and peripherals. SunVTS is used to ensure the proper operation of the overall system under test and its underlying hardware. It stimulates, detects, and identifies hardware faults and is used for both hardware validation and repair verification.
SunVTS provides the following tests:
CD DVD Test (cddvdtest)
CPU Test (cputest)
Cryptographic Test (cryptotest)
Disk and Diskette Drives Test (disktest)
Data Translation Look-aside Buffer Test (dtlbtest)
Emulex host bus adapter (HBA) Test (emlxtest)
Floating Point Unit Test (fputest)
InfiniBand Host Channel Adapter Test (ibhcatest)
Level 1 Data Cache Test (l1dcachetest)
Level 2 SRAM Test (l2sramtest)
Ethernet Loopback Test (netlbtest)
Network Hardware Test (nettest)
Physical Memory Test (pmemtest)
QLogic Host Bus Adapter Test (qlctest)
RAM Test (ramtest)
Serial Port Test (serialtest)
System Test (systest)
Tape Drive Test (tapetest)
Universal Serial Board Test (usbtest)
Virtual Memory Test (vmemtest)
SunVTS software has a sophisticated graphical user interface (GUI) that provides test configuration and status monitoring. The user interface can be run on one system to display the SunVTS testing of another system on the network. SunVTS software also provides a teletype-mode (TTY-mode) interface for situations in which running a GUI is not possible.
