Silent install
Installing HP Systems Insight Manager from the command line with an .xml file.
The option to perform a Silent install is available through a command line installation. A silent install occurs
when setup.exe is launched with the command line options for a Silent install.
Execute:
setup.exe –s “<path to silent file>” –svcpw “<service password>” –dbpw

A silent.xml file resides in the same directory as setup.exe. This text file can be edited with any text editor.

can be edited. If installing HP Systems Insight Manager from the Web, then after extracting the installation
program, edit the silent.xml file and launch the setup in Silent mode.
