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. Q-Vet is used for system installation
verification and during system development by Compaq engineers.
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://cisweb.mro.cpqcorp.net/projects/qvet/.
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.
IVP 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.
