SunVTS 2.1 Issues
The following issues apply to the SunVTS 2.1 product.
Solstice DiskSuite or Disk Management Software
Users
Caution – SunVTS™ may alter the file systems of Solstice DiskSuite or Disk
Management software; this can lead to data corruption in some cases.
Workaround: Solstice DiskSuite or Disk Management software users should set the
system environment variable BYPASS_FS_PROBE to 1 before running SunVTS.
During its initialization, SunVTS will attempt to mount all disks in the system.
Because some components of SDS metadisks and other Disk Management volumes
or plexes will appear to be file systems, they would be mounted at this time. Setting
the environment variable as described above avoids this, and prevents SunVTS from
altering the file systems.
disktest Option Format has Changed
The disktest option format has changed from disktest.xxxx to
disktest_xxxx and tests may fail with the following error if the change is not
noted:
Workaround: Save a new option file with the correct disktest option format
naming convention.
# BYPASS_FS_PROBE=1; export BYPASS_FS_PROBE
# ./sunvts
