FUJITSU T1000 SERVER - USING SUN VTS SOFTWARE

USING SOFTWARE

Checking Whether Sun VTS Software Is Installed.

This procedure assumes that the Solaris OS is running on the server, and that you have access to the Solaris command line.

• Check for the presence of Sun VTS packages using the pkginfo command.

%pkginfo -l SUNWvts SUNWvtsr SUNWvtsts SUNWvtsmn

• If SunVTS software is installed, information about the packages is displayed.

• If SunVTS software is not installed, you see an error message for each missing package.

• If SunVTS is not installed, you can obtain the installation packages from the Solaris Operating System DVDs.

• The SunVTS 6.1 software, and future compatible versions, is supported on the server.

• SunVTS installation instructions are described in the SunVTS User’s Guide.

EXERCISING THE SYSTEM USING THE SUN VTS SOFTWARE

• Before you begin, the Solaris OS must be running. You also need to ensure that SunVTS validation test software is installed on your system.

• The SunVTS installation process requires that you specify one of two security schemes to use when running SunVTS. The security scheme you choose must be properly configured in the Solaris OS for you to run SunVTS. For details, refer to the SunVTS User’s Guide.

• 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 theSunVTS 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 may presume the presence of specific hardware, or might require specific drivers, cables, or loop back connectors. For information about test options and prerequisites, refer to the following documentation:

• 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.

• Enable the remote display.  On the display system, type:  #/usr/openwin/bin/xhost  + test-system where test-system is the name of the server you plan to test.

• Remotely log in to the server as superuser.

• Use a command such as rlogin or telnet.

• If you have installed SunVTS software in a location other than the default/opt directory, alter the path in the following command accordingly. #/opt/SUNWvts/bin/sunvts –display display-system:0 wheredisplay-systemis the name of the machine through which you are remotely logged in to the server.  The SunVTS GUI is displayed.

USING SUN SOFTWARE

Start SunVTS software.

Expand the test lists to see the individual tests.

• The test selection area lists tests in categories, such as Network, as shown in. To expand a category, left-click the [+] icon (expand category icon) to the left of the category name.

Certain tests are enabled by default, and you can choose to accept these.  Alternatively, you can enable and disable individual tests or blocks of tests by clicking the check box next to the test name or test category name. Tests are enabled when checked, and disabled when not checked.

You can customize individual tests by right clicking on the name of the test. For example, inFIGURE , right-clicking on the text string ce0(nettest) brings up a menu that enables you to configure this Ethernet test.

START TESTING

1. Click the Start button that is located at the top left of the SunVTS window. Status and error messages appear in the test messages area located across the bottom of the window. You can stop testing at any time by clicking the Stop button.

1. During testing, SunVTS software logs all status and error messages. To view these messages, click the Log button or select Log Files from the Reports menu. This action opens a log window from which you can choose to view the following logs:

• Test Error –Detailed error messages from individual tests.

• VTS Kernel Error–Error messages pertaining to SunVTS software itself. You should look here if SunVTS software appears to be acting strangely, especially when it starts up.

• Solaris OS Messages(/var/adm/messages)–A file containing messages generated by the operating system and various applications.

• Log Files(/var/opt/SUNWvts/logs)–A directory containing the log files.
• Information–Detailed versions of all the status and error messages that appear in the test messages area.
