Sun Enterprise Cluster 2.0 Network Hardware Test (scitest) |
scitest verifies the functionality of the Sun Enterprise Cluster 2.0 by checking the networking hardware. For this test to be meaningful, the cluster must already be configured before the test is run. For details on how to configure the cluster, refer to Sun Enterprise Cluster 2.0 Hardware Site Preparation, Planning, and Installation Guide .
scitest reads the /etc/sma.ip file to determine the target nodes in the cluster. scitest mainly uses the Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) to test the connections between cluster nodes.
After finding the cluster nodes (targets), scitest performs the following tests:
Incremental test--sends out packets with length from minimum to maximum packet size using incremental data.
Pattern test--sends 256 packets of maximum length, where each packet contains one test pattern and all byte patterns (0 to 0xFF) are used.
Note - scitest is a scalable test. The maximum number of instances is two per SCI card. |
To reach the dialog box below, right-click on the test name in the System Map and select Test Parameter Options. If you do not see this test in the System Map, you might need to expand the collapsed groups, or your system may not include the device appropriate to this test. Refer to the SunVTS User's Guide for more details.
Connection, Functional, and Online modes are supported by scitest . Different test schemes are performed on the network device based on the mode selected.

Note Note - 64-bit tests are located in the sparcv9 subdirectory: /opt/SUNWvts/bin/sparcv9/testname. If a test is not present in this directory, then it may only be available as a 32-bit test. For more information refer to 32-Bit and 64-Bit Tests. |
