SunVTS Environmental Variables

Use environmenta l variables to control certain aspects of SunVTS as described in Table 2-2. Except for the MANPATH variable, you only use these variables when you need to alter the default characteristics of SunVTS.

Table 2-2 SunVTS Environmental Variables


Variable	Description
`BYPASS_FS_PROBE`	Used by `disktest` when you want to run subtests that require SunVTS to pre-mount all mountable partitions. Refer to the `disktest` chapter in the SunVTS 5.0 Test Reference Manual for details.
`MANPATH`	Append the `MANPATH` variable with the location of the SunVTS man page location (`/opt/SUNWvts/man` by default) so the `man` command can locate and display the SunVTS man pages. See "To Set Up Access to the SunVTS Man Pages".
`VTS_CMD_HOST`	Used by the `vts_cmd` command to specify the hostname for the SunVTS kernel to connect to. Refer to the `vts_cmd` man page for details.
`VTS_OLD_MSG`	Only used when you want SunVTS to display test messages in a pre-SunVTS 4.0 format, usually because a script relies on the older format. This variable should only be used temporarily until your script is updated to recognize the new message format. This variable, and the old message format will no longer be supported in a future version of SunVTS. See question 22 in Appendix B, Frequently Asked Questions.
`VTS_PM_PATH`	Only used when SunVTS is not installed in the default directory (`/opt`). Set `VTS_PM_PATH` to `vts_install_dir/SUNWvts/bin/pm` for proper operation of the SunVTS CDE UI. See "To Perform Additional Setup When SunVTS Is Installed in a Directory Other Than `/opt`".
