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

Once installed and started, it runs in the background and polls the LSI_U3.SYS
miniport driver for error information on a preset time schedule.

       Administrator privileges.


1. Insert the media containing the DVService files into the appropriate drive.

   This may appear as:
 
   \winnt\system.

3. To install the service module into the NT environment, type at the
   DOS Window prompt:

   svinstal.exe 

   which is the program found on the install media.  

4. If successful, a message stating that the service has been correctly
   installed appears and directs the user to access the Services applet
   in the Control Panel. To start the service, follow the menu path:
   Start-->Control Panel-->Services. Locate the DVserve 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 running
in the background. If exceeded, this service displays a message box suggesting

and its connected devices. These message boxes will continue to appear 
as long as the error count exceeds the limit for the polling cycle.
