    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. hp AlphaServer ES47/ES80/GS1280 I/O Drawer Upgrade...

  • Page 69: Swap Or Pagefile Space

    5.1.1 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.

  • Page 70: Installing Q-Vet

    You can also delete the kit tar file, QVET_Vxxx.tar. 9. You must reboot the system before starting Q-Vet. 10. On reboot you can start Q-Vet GUI via vet& or you can run non GUI (command line) via vet -nw. hp AlphaServer ES47/ES80/GS1280 I/O Drawer Upgrade...

  • Page 71: Openvms

    5.2.2 OpenVMS 1. Delete any QVETAXPxxx.A or QVETAXPxxx.EXE file from the current directory. 2. Copy the self-extracting kit image file (QVETAXPxxx.EXE) to the current directory. 3. We recommend but do not required, that you purge the system disk before installing Q-Vet. This will free up space that may be needed for pagefile expansion during the AUTOGEN phase.

  • Page 75: De-Installing Q-Vet

    De-Installing Q-Vet De-installation of Q-Vet differs between operating systems. You must de-install Q-Vet from each partition in the system. Failure to do so may result in the loss of customer data at a later date if Q-Vet is misused. Follow the instructions listed under your operating system to de-install Q-Vet from a partition.
