5.2 Run Q-Vet
CAUTION: Misuse of Q-Vet may result in loss of customer data. Customers
are not authorized to access, download, or use Q-Vet. Compaq engineers use
Q-Vet during system development; they designed Q-Vet to verify system
installation during development.
Q-Vet is a Qualification Verifier Exerciser Tool used to exercise systems under
development. Run the latest released version of Q-Vet to verify that hardware is installed
correctly and is operational. Q-Vet does not verify operating system or layered product
configurations.
The latest Q-Vet release, information, Release Notes, and documentation are located at
http://chump2.mro.cpqcorp.net/qvet/ or from the Alpha Firware Update CD. If the system is
partitioned, Q-Vet must be installed and run separately on each partition. Since Compaq
Analyze is used to view Q-Vet errors, it is useful to install it prior to running Q-Vet.
CAUTION: Do not install the Digital System Verification Software (DECVET) on the
system; use Q-Vet instead.
Run only IVP scripts on systems that contain customer data or any other devices that must
not be overwritten. See the Q-Vet Disk Testing Policy Notice on the Q-Vet Web site for
details. All Q-Vet IVP scripts use Read Only and/or File I/O to test hard drives. Floppy and
tape drives are always write-tested and should have scratch media installed.
Non-IVP Q-Vet scripts verify disk operation for some drives with write-enabled techniques.
These are intended for engineering and manufacturing test only. Q-Vet must be de-installed
upon completion of system verification.
5.2.1 Swap or Pagefile Space
The system must have adequate swap space (on Tru64 UNIX) or pagefile space (on
OpenVMS) for proper Q-Vet operation. You can set this up either before or after Q-Vet
installation.
If during initialization Q-Vet determines that the system does not have enough
swap/pagefile space, it will display a message indicating the minimum amount needed. If
you wish to address the swap/pagefile size before running Q-Vet, see the swap/pagefile
estimates on the Q-Vet web site.
