Silent upgrade
Upgrading HP SIM from the command line with an .xml file.
A silent.xml file resides in the same directory as setup.exe. This text file can be edited with any text
editor. If upgrading HP SIM from the DVD, copy the silent.xml to a location where the file can be edited.
If upgrading HP SIM from the web, then after extracting the installation program, edit the silent.xml file
and launch the setup in Silent mode. The silent.xml file contains the parameters for the upgrade process.
The option to perform a Silent upgrade 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>”
NOTE: In the Upgrade mode, the svcpw and dbpw passwords provided should be that of the existing
installs HP SIM server account and database account respectively. The install takes the existing installation
locations of HP SIM and partner components.
Database information: Set <installSQLEXPR>.
In the upgrade mode this option is ignored; the installer does not install SQL Server 2005 Express Edition
on the local server even if set true. The database information of the existing install is used.
NOTE: HP SIM automatically upgrades MSDE to SQL Express 2005 SP2 when upgrading from HP SIM
5.1 even if the <installSQLEXPR> tag is set to True or False.
