How to Exercise the System Using
SunVTS Software
Before You Begin
The Solaris operating system must be running. You also need to make sure that
SunVTS validation test software is installed on your system. See:
■ “How to Check Whether SunVTS Software Is Installed” on page 206
SunVTS software requires that you use one of two security schemes, and these must
be properly configured in order for you to perform this procedure. For details, see:
■ SunVTS User’s Guide
■ “SunVTS Software and Security” on page 108
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, see the SunVTS User’s Guide.
SunVTS software can be run in several modes. This procedure assumes that you are
using the default Functional mode. For a synopsis of the modes, see:
■ “Exercising the System Using SunVTS Software” on page 106
This procedure also assumes that the Sun Fire V490 server is “headless”—that is, it is
not equipped with a monitor capable of displaying bitmapped 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
may presume the presence of specific hardware, or may require specific drivers,
cables, or loopback connectors. For information about test options and prerequisites,
see:
