1-48 Sun Netra T5220 Server Service Manual • January 2012
SunVTS software features both character-based and graphics-based interfaces. This
procedure assumes that you are using the graphical user interface (GUI) on a system
running the Common Desktop Environment (CDE). For more information about the
character-based SunVTS TTY interface, and specifically for instructions on accessing
it by tip or telnet commands, refer to the SunVTS User’s Guide.
SunVTS software can be run in several modes. This procedure assumes that you are
using the default mode.
This procedure also assumes that the server is headless. That is, it is not equipped
with a monitor capable of displaying bitmap graphics. In this case, you access the
SunVTS GUI by logging in remotely from a machine that has a graphics display.
Finally, this procedure describes how to run SunVTS tests in general. Individual tests
might presume the presence of specific hardware, or might require specific drivers,
cables, or loopback connectors. For information about test options and prerequisites,
refer to the following documentation:
■ SunVTS 6.3 Test Reference Manual for SPARC Platforms
■ SunVTS 6.3 User’s Guide
1.9.3 Exercising the System With SunVTS Software
1. Log in as superuser to a system with a graphics display.
The display system should be one with a frame buffer and monitor capable of
displaying bitmap graphics such as those produced by the SunVTS GUI.
2. Enable the remote display.
On the display system, type:
where test-system is the name of the server you plan to test.
3. Remotely log in to the server as superuser.
Use a command such as rlogin or telnet.
