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.
$purge sys$sysdevice:[*…]*.*
4. E xtract the kit saveset with the command: $run QVETAXPxxx .EXE and
verify that the kit saveset was extracted by checking for the "Successful
decompression" message.
5. Use
@sys$update:vmsinstal
for the Q-Vet installation. The installation will
size the system for CPUs, IO devices and memory. If you do not intend to use the
GUI, you can answer
no
to the question "Do you want to install Q-Vet with the
DECwindows Motif interface?" Otherwise choose all the default answers during
the Q-Vet installation. Q-Vet installation
will verify , tune the system, and reboot.
6. After the installation completes you should delete the QVETAXP0xx.A file and the
QVETAXPxxx.EXE file.
7. On reboot you can start Q-Vet GUI via
$
vet or the command interface via
$vet/int=char .
