The BackupDocumentLocation parameter allows you to specify the backup document directory. This directory is especially
important for cluster installations, for which a network share must be specified. For information about backup document
directories and cluster configurations, see the Dell EqualLogic Auto-Snapshot Manager/Microsoft Edition User’s Guide.
When specifying host names, you can specify the host’s IP address, host name, fully qualified domain name, or IPv6 address.
Specify an IPV6 address as follows:
1. Change all the : characters to - characters.
2. If the address has a % character, change it to s.
3. Add .ipv6-literal.net to the end.
For example, an address of fe80::2c02:db79%8 must be specified as fe80—2c02-db79s8.ipv6-literal.net.
The following table lists the install options that you can specify when running the PowerShell script.

Procedure for Installing HIT on Remote Hosts With PowerShell
1. Open a PowerShell window.
2. Navigate to Program Files\EqualLogic\bin or the directory specified when the Host Integration Tools were installed
on the local host.
3. At the command prompt, type the following command to install ASM/ME on the remote host:
.\HitRemoteInstall.ps1 -ComputerNames ipaddress -InstallerLocation"C:\Program Files
\EqualLogic\bin" -BackupDocumentLocation "\\server\share\subdirectory1" -InstallOptions
ASM -Username myUsername -Password myPassword
NOTE:
Replace ipaddress, myUsername and myPassword with the remote host’s IP address and your own
credentials.
You can specify any of the install options listed in Install Options on page 18. You can also specify multiple hosts. Instead of
listing the IP address to specify the remote host, you can also specify the host name, domain name, or IPv6 address.
