4.7 Using the Domain Validation Utility

The Domain Validation Utility is a companion product to the NT
Configuration Utility. Its purpose is to monitor I/O activity on Domain
Validation enabled host adapters and alert you when the number of
errors during a polling cycle may warrant the re-execution of Domain
Validation tests.

Once installed, it runs in the background and polls the

SYM_U3.SYS

miniport driver for error information on a preset time schedule.

4.7.1 Installing the Domain Validation Service Module

To install the Domain Validation Service Module on the x86 platforms, log
on with Administrator privileges. As Administrator, follow these steps:

Step 1.

Find all the DV Service Module files on the SDMS Software
Device Drivers and Utilities CD-ROM at this location:

{CD-ROM Drive Letter}:\UTILITY\WINDOWS\NTDVSRVC\I386

Step 2.

Copy

DVSERVICE.EXE

to the directory

\%SYSTEMROOT%\SYSTEM.

This may appear as

\WINNT\SYSTEM

.

Step 3.

Open a DOS window and run the installation program to install
the service module into the Windows NT environment:

{CD-ROM Drive Letter}:\UTILITY\WINDOWS\NTDVSRVC\I386\
SVINSTAL.EXE

If successful, a message stating that the service has been
correctly installed appears. It directs you to access the Service
applet in the Control Panel.

Step 4.

To start the service, follow the menu path: Start-->Control
Panel-->Services.

Step 5.

Locate the DV Service Module and click on the Start button.

At this point, the service module is installed and running. Unless the
preset error limit is exceeded during a polling period, this service remains
in the background. If exceeded, this service displays a message box
suggesting that you should run the Domain Validation tests again on the
stated adapter and its connected devices.
