Installing SnapManager in unattended mode

You can install SnapManager by running the software installation utility from the command-line interface. You can also install the SnapManager software under the control of a script for an unattended installation.

About this task

The command name that you specify depends on the SnapManager installation media that you want to access. If you are using the software CD, run the setup.exe; otherwise, if you are using software package downloaded from the network, run the SME6.0.exe.

You do not need to stop the Exchange service when you install SnapManager 6.0 for Microsoft Exchange. Exchange can continue to run while you install SnapManager and afterward.

Steps

  1. Access the command line of the target host system, and then enter the following command either directly at the command line, or through a script:

    Example

    CommandName/v”[AGREETOLICENSE={Yes|No}] [USERNAME=UserName] [COMPANYNAME=CompanyName] [ISX_SERIALNUM=LicenseKey] [INSTALLDIR=InstallationDirectory] SVCUSERNAME=Domain\UserNameSVCUSERPASSWORD=PasswordSVCCONFIRMUSERPASSWORD =PassWord[REBOOT=0] [/L* TempDirPath\LogFileName] /qb”

    Command or parameter Description
    CommandName Either setup.exe or SME6.0.exe, depending on the SnapManager installation media that you use.
    AGREETOLICENSE={Yes|No}

    Set this parameter to Yes only if you have read and accept the terms of the SnapManager software license agreement. The installation does not proceed unless you specify.

    USERNAME=UserName

    Optional.

    If you do not specify, the default value is retrieved from the registry.

    COMPANYNAME=CompanyName

    Optional.

    If you do not specify, the default value is retrieved from the registry.

    ISX_SERIALNUM=LicenseKey

    Optional.

    Used only to specify an Exchange server-side license for SnapManager.

    INSTALLDIR=InstallationDirectory

    Optional.

    If you do not specify, the default installation directory is used: C:\Program Files\NetApp\SnapManager for Exchange\

    SVCUSERNAME=Domain\UserName The account from which SnapManager is to be run.
    SVCUSERPASSWORD=Password
    SVCCONFIRMUSERPASSWORD=Password
    REBOOT=0

    Optional.

    After the installation finishes, the installation utility automatically reboots the Windows host system if that is required to activate updated software.

    If you specify this option, however, the system does not reboot.

    /L* TempDirPath\LogFileName

    Optional.

    If you specify this option, detailed information about the installation is written to the specified log file. This information can be used to investigate details about how a particular instance of SnapManager for Microsoft Exchange is installed.

    The asterisk (“*”) is a wildcard character that specifies that all the installation information (such as status messages, nonfatal warnings, and error messages) is to be logged.

    TempDirPath is the fully qualified name of the directory in which the installation log is to be created or overwritten.

    LogFileName is the name of the file to which the installation information is to be written.

    The software installation utility installs the SnapManager for Microsoft Exchange software in the specified directory. If the INSTALLDIR parameter is not specified, the utility installs the software in the default directory C:\Program Files\NetApp\SnapManager for Exchange\.
