SunVTS Diagnostic Testing

The SunVTS software executes multiple diagnostic hardware tests from a single user

interface, and is used to verify the configuration and functionality of most hardware

controllers and devices. The SunVTS software operates primarily from a graphical

user interface, enabling test parameters to be set quickly and easily while a

diagnostic test operation is being performed.

Note – SunVTS diagnostic software is not currently available for Solaris x86

Operating Systems.
