Silent install

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
“<database password>”
A silent.xml file resides in the same directory as setup.exe. This text file can be edited with any text editor.
If installing HP SIM from the DVD, copy the silent .xml to a location where the file can be edited. If
installing HP SIM from the Web, then after extracting the installation program, edit the silent.xml file and
launch the setup in Silent mode.
All errors, warnings or information messages are logged in the HP SIM.log. The installation status of HP SIM
