

Copies the driver parameters from the configuration file into the registry for the driver's co-installer

 Installs or updates the driver

 Rediscovers adapters and records the updated adapter inventory in the report file

 Records the final results and closes the report file

An unattended installation can be performed in two ways:

 Installs the driver silently

 Runs the driver kit installer separately

2.3.6.1 Option 1: Install the Driver Silently

Run the driver kit from a command prompt or script. Specify the /q (quiet) command line option. For example:

elxdrvr-fc<version>.exe /q

NOTE: The name of the driver kit depends on the current version identifier. For other command line options, see Appendix

B, AutoPilot Installer Command Line and Configuration File Parameters.

2.3.6.2 Option 2: Run the Driver Kit Installer Separately

To run the driver kit separately, perform these steps:

1. Follow Step 1 to Step 3 in Section 2.3.2, Running a Software Installation Interactively.

2. Clear Run AutoPilot Installer on the Finish dialog.

3. Choose one of the following options:

– Run AutoPilot Installer from a command prompt or script with the silent option:

APInstall.exe /silent

– Edit the AutoPilot Installer configuration file before running AutoPilot Installer. The configuration file is typically in the

following location:

C:\Program Files\Emulex\AutoPilot Installer\<driver type>\APInstall.cfg

Uncomment the line that sets SilentInstallEnable to True. You might also want to edit other settings in the same

section of the configuration file related to unattended installations. See Appendix B, AutoPilot Installer Command Line

and Configuration File Parameters, for additional information. After editing the file, run AutoPilot Installer from the Start

menu, a command prompt, or a script.

2.3.7 Installation Failure

The two possible installation failures are described in this section.

2.3.7.1 AutoPilot Installer Failure

If AutoPilot Installer fails, the Diagnostics window displays that the adapter failed. If the adapter fails, perform these steps:

1. Select the adapter to view the reason why the adapter failed. The reason and suggested corrective action are displayed.

2. Perform the suggested corrective action, and run AutoPilot Installer again.

NOTE: You can run APInstall.exe from a command prompt.
