• During the installation process, installation messages from third-party products might be displayed, indicating what software is being
installed. However, these messages do not interfere with the installation and can be ignored.
• The drive letter that you specify in the installation script is used on every computer on which you run the script. For example, if you
specified F:\Eql in the script, then all of the other computers on which you run the script will attempt to install the kit on the F:\
drive.
• The installation applies your selections when you create the original recording of an installation.
NOTE: Note only those Host Installation Tools components that are supported by the target computer are installed.
• When installing on a failover cluster, you must perform the installation from an account that is a member of the domain administrator
group.
Support for a Silent Installation
Host Integration Tools installations are built using a Windows-based installer known as the Install Shield. The Install Shield product contains
built-in support for silent installations.
Syntax
Setup.exe /s /v/qn /V"/q /norestart
[ADDLOCAL = HPC,RemoteSetupWiz,PowerShell,ASMME,COREVSSPROVIDER,VDS,MPIO|
ALL>]
[INSTALLDIR=drive:\install_path]
[IS_NET_API_LOGON_USERNAME=Domain\Username]
[IS_NET_API_LOGON_PASSWORD=password] /l*v log_path"
• Setup.exe or Setup64.exe is the single executable installer for the Host Integration Tools.
• /v"MIGSELECTION=1" enables the capability to import EqualLogic volumes to a PowerStore array.
• ADDLOCAL specifies which features are to be installed (if used). If the operating system does not meet the requirements to install the
feature, the feature will not be installed even if it is specified.
• INSTALLDIR specifies the drive and path of the installation (if used). If not specified, the installation will go into the default location,
which is C:\Program Files\EqualLogic.
• IS_NET_API_LOGON_USERNAME and IS_NET_API_LOGON_PASSWORD specify the domain and user name credentials to assign
to the required Host Integration Tools services (if used). Service as log on rights will be granted to this user during installation. If not
specified, the local system account will be used.
The following table lists the case-sensitive feature names that you can specify when performing a silent installation.
