Starting the VHS GUI
3. Run VHSGUI.EXE.
Starting the VHS GUI
Unless your site has modified the default configuration, the VHS GUI application is in
the workstation file C:\Program Files\Tandem\VHSGUI\VHSGUI.EXE pointed to by an
icon named VHS GUI in the Windows Start Menu.
To start the VHS GUI, use one of these Windows methods:
1. Navigate to Programs in the Start Menu. In the Tandem Folder, click on the VHS
GUI icon.
2. Double-click the VHSGUI.EXE icon in the File Manager.
3. Select the Run command and specify C:\Program Files\Tandem\VHSGUI.EXE in
the Command Line field. (C:\Program Files\Tandem\VHSGUI is the default
directory; the VHS GUI files may be installed in a different directory in your
workstation.)
The VHS GUI Splash Screen appears, giving status messages on the initialization
process.
The New VHS Parameters
When you install the D43 version of NonStop VHS, you need to set the value of the
new parameters. These parameters are set during the VHS server installation on the
HP Nonstop system and, during this process, they are written in the VHSSTART file.
VHS-GUI-MODE
The VHS-GUI-MODE must be set to ON to see and reply to the prompts via the VHS
GUI. The default value of this parameter is OFF; this is for compatibility with previous
releases of VHS. This parameter should be set to ON for each VHS process that you
want to be able to access with the VHS GUI. When the VHS-GUI-MODE is set to ON,
VHS will generate new EMS events as described in the following section.
Note. The VHS-GUI-MODE can only be specified as a startup parameter, and cannot be
changed with the VHSCI after VHS is started. To change this parameter you must stop and
restart the VHS process.
Note. VHS GUI Setup will not replace pre-existing files such as DLL, EXE, and OCX files if the
preexisting files on your workstation are newer or of a later version than those in the VHS GUI
distribution zip file. You might get access violation warnings if any of these files are already
opened.
