Reinstalling SnapManager in unattended mode

You can reinstall SnapManager by running the software installation utility from the command-line interface. You can also reinstall the SnapManager software under the control of a script for an unattended reinstallation. SnapManager also provides you with the option to reinstall using the interactive mode where the InstallShield wizard guides you through the reinstallation.

Before you begin

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:CommandName /v”REINSTALLMODE =vomus REINSTALL=ALL [/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.
   REINSTALLMODE=vomus	Causes the software installation utility to recache the new software package.
   REINSTALL=ALL	Causes the software installation utility to update all the software components.
   SVCUSERNAME=​Domain\UserName [/L*TempDirPath\LogFileName] /qb”	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 is installed. The asterisk * is a wildcard character that specifies that all of the installation information (such as status messages, nonfatal warnings, and error messages) should be logged. TempDirPath\LogFileName is the fully qualified name of the directory in which the installation log will be created or overwritten. LogFileName is the name of the file to which the installation information will be written.

2. Start SnapManager.
