7.10 How to Use SunVTS Software
7.10.1 Before You Begin
If your system passes the firmware-based diagnostics and boots the operating
system, yet does not function correctly, you can use SunVTS software, the Sun
Validation and Test Suite, to run additional tests. These tests verify the configuration
and functionality of most hardware controllers and devices.
You must have root or superuser access to run SunVTS tests and the system must be
booted to the multiuser level (level 3). If you are not familiar with these or other
basic UNIX commands and procedures, such as shutting down the system, booting

1. Use xhost to give the remote server access to the workstation display.
On the system from which you will be running the SunVTS graphical interface,
type:
% /usr/openwin/bin/xhost + remote_hostname
Substitute the name of the Sun Enterprise 220R server for remote_hostname.
Among other things, this command gives the server display permissions to run
