socaltest aids the validation and fault isolation of the SOC+ host adapter card. In the case of a faulty card, the test tries to isolate the fault to the card, the GBIC module, or the DMA between the host adapter card and the host memory.
Do not run socaltest and enatest at the same time, otherwise test failures might occur.
Do not run socaltest and disktest at the same time, otherwise test failures might occur.
Do not run socaltest with a high system load. Running this test with a large number of instances and concurrency might cause resource limitations that cause this test to fail.
To reach the dialog box below, right-click on the test name in the System Map and select Test Parameter Options. If you do not see this test in the System Map, you might need to expand the collapsed groups, or your system may not include the device appropriate to this test. Refer to the SunVTS User's Guide for more details.
Table 50-1 socaltest Options
In addition to the tests described above, socaltest also tests the basic functions of the SOC+ chip, the on-board XRAM, and the host control buffer by invoking the appropriate tests implemented in firmware.

64-bit tests are located in the sparcv9 subdirectory: /opt/SUNWvts/bin/sparcv9/testname. If a test is not present in this directory, then it may only be available as a 32-bit test. For more information refer to "32-Bit and 64-Bit Tests".
