Connecting to Another Host

You can connect the SunVTS user interface on your local system to a SunVTS kernel that is running on another system in your network. Once you are connected to the remote system, all of the controls in the TTY UI control the testing of the remote system.

To Connect to Another Host

1. Make sure that the SunVTS kernel is running on the remote system.

   You can do this in several ways. You can remote login (using rlogin or telnet) to the remote system and run the vtsk command (see "To Start the SunVTS Kernel (vtsk)") to start the kernel.

   Note -

   On the remote system, you must login (or switch user) as a user that has SunVTS privileges (superuser by default) before you can start the SunVTS kernel (vtsk).

2. Open the Connect_to_Host menu:

   1. In the Control panel, highlight connect_to and press return.

   2. Enter the remote system hostname in the connect_to_host field.

   3. Highlight Apply and press return.

   4. Press <Esc> when you receive the connect_to confirmation box.

   The SunVTS UI now controls SunVTS on the remote system. The remote system hostname is displayed at the top of the TTY main menu.
