Q-Vet Installation Verification

CAUTION: Customers are not authorized to access, download, or use Q-
Vet. Q-Vet is for use by Compaq engineers to verify the system
installation. Misuse of Q-Vet may result in loss of customer data.
Q-Vet is the Qualification Verifier Exerciser Tool that is used by Compaq
engineers to exercise systems under development. Compaq recommends
running the latest Q-Vet released version to verify that hardware is installed
correctly and is operational. Q-Vet does not verify specific 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/.
If the system has been partitioned, Q-Vet must be installed and run separately
on each partition to verify the complete system. Compaq recommends that
Compaq Analyze be installed on the operating system prior to running Q-Vet.
CAUTION:
Do not install the Digital System Verification Software (DECVET) on the
system; use Q-Vet instead.
Non-IVP Q-Vet scripts verify disk operation for some drives with "write enabled"
techniques. These are intended for Engineering and Manufacturing Test.
Run ONLY IVP scripts on systems that contain customer data or any
other items that must not be written over. 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.
Q-Vet must be de-installed upon completion of system verification.
