● Use /L*v for a verbose log.
● To verify if a silent installation succeeded, scroll to the end of the log file.
Using HIT With a SharePoint Farm
When using the Host Integration Tools on a SharePoint farm:
● Create or verify the domain accounts in the domain. At a minimum, create one account for SQL administration and optionally,
a separate account for SharePoint administration for example, domain\sp_sqladmin, and domain\sp_admin. These
accounts must be in the local administrators group of every host in the farm (directly or through group membership).
For more information, see the following URL: technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee662513.aspx.
● On the PS Series group, create separate volumes for the SharePoint SSO or Foundation Search. The search components
must reside on PS Series storage so that ASM/ME includes them in Smart Copies.
● Do not place search components on the same volumes as the farm databases.
● Place all SharePoint search indexes on PS Series volumes. Otherwise, ASM/ME will display the components as dimmed, and
will not include them in Smart Copies.
Specify Index File Locations When Installing SharePoint
For best results using the Host Integration Tools with SharePoint, make sure to specify PS Series volumes as the location for all
the search index files at the time you install SharePoint.
If you have already installed your SharePoint farm, see Modify Index File Locations in an Existing SharePoint Farm for
information on how to change the search index file locations.
To specify PS Series volumes for the index file locations during SharePoint installation:
1. Type the license key.
2. Provide the path to the PS Series volume that contains the search indexes in the bottom field for the location of the search
index files. For example, F:\SharePoint Indexes (See the following figure.) In this example, the F:\ drive is a PS
Series volume that was created in advance and logged on the search host. The SharePoint Indexes directory was created to
store the search indexes.
