Create a Configuration File for the Unsafe Option

  1. Obtain root privileges.
  2. Create a configuration file:
    # /etc/sunvts/conf/sunvts.conf
    
  3. Open the file for editing.

    The file takes a variable name and a corresponding value, which will be used by the tool. Both the name and the value are keywords. The /etc/sunvts/conf/sunvts.conf should have the following entries:

    • To enable Write Only or Write-Read tests on the disk:

      • Disk_Data_Write All=Enable

    • To enable Write Only or Write-Read tests on the Removable Media LT:

      • RM_Disk_Data_Write All=Enable


    Note - Use the -U option to supply unsafe option from GUI and TTY.
  4. Save the file.
  5. Start the software.

    The software will now read the configuration file. The Global Option button now has another entry: Safe Testing. You can set the button to Enable or Disable.


    Note - From VTS 7.0ps10 release onwards the sunvts_options.conf file is obsolete and is not backward compatible.
