5.6.1 SunVTS Overview
Sun’s validation test suite software, SunVTS, is a comprehensive software diagnostic
package that tests and validates hardware by verifying the connectivity and
functionality of most hardware components. SunVTS is a system exerciser that you
can use to check for intermittent or long term failures.
SunVTS software executes multiple diagnostic tests from a GUI that provides test
configuration and status monitoring. The user interface can run in the CDE or OPEN
LOOK environments or through a TTY-mode interface for situations when running a
GUI on the system under test is not possible.
The SunVTS interface can run on one workstation to display a SunVTS test session
of another workstation on the network.
SunVTS software is already installed on the Sun Blade 1500 workstation hard drive,
and is also available from this URL:

■ The SunVTS packages must be installed. The main package is SUNWvts. There are
additional supporting packages that differ based on the revision of the Solaris
operating system that is installed. For specific details, refer to the corresponding
SunVTS documentation.
