Take the following steps to run a silent installation:
Edit an installation parameter file.
Run a silent installation.
For the upgrade installation, refer to the Migration Guide of this version.
When using default install, it is not necessary to edit an installation parameter file.
An installation parameter file is a file in which to specify installation parameters such as installation destination directory and port number. This file is stored on the DVD media and default values are set to respective installation parameters. For details on the installation parameter file, refer to "C.3 Installation Parameter File (for Storage Cruiser's Agent for Windows)".
The installation parameter file is stored on the DVD "ETERNUS SF SC/ACM/Express Mediapack (V16.9 or higher) Agent Program and Manual" of this version.
Storage location
dvdDrive:\Agent_windows\Storage_Cruiser\windows_x86\scagt_parameter.iniWhen changing installation parameters, copy the installation parameter file on the DVD media to an optional location and edit the copied file. For description of each installation parameter, refer to "C.4 Installation Parameters (for Storage Cruiser's Agent for Windows)".
The silent installation procedure of Storage Cruiser's agent (Windows) is as follows:
Log on to the target server as a user with administrator privileges.
Install the DVD "ETERNUS SF SC/ACM/Express Mediapack (V16.9 or higher) Agent Program and Manual" of this version into the DVD drive. If the Installer screen is displayed by autorun, exit the installer.
Start the command prompt with "Run as administrator".
Run the following commands for silent installation of the Storage Cruiser's agent.
For default install
For installLogFile, specify the file in which to output installation log with an absolute path. It is optional to specify for installLogFile.
dvdDrive:\Agent_windows\Storage_Cruiser\windows_x86\scagtsilentinstall.bat [-l installLogFile]
For custom install
For installParameterFile, specify with an absolute path. It is mandatory to specify for installParameterFile.
For installLogFile, specify the file in which to output installation log with an absolute path. It is optional to specify for installLogFile.
dvdDrive:\Agent_windows\Storage_Cruiser\windows_x86\scagtsilentinstall.bat -s installParameterFile [-l installLogFile]
Point
If nothing is specified for installLogFile, an install log file named "scagtsilentinstall.log" is created in the working directory specified for the environment variable TEMP.
If there is any file of the same name as the specified install log file exists, it is overwritten.
It is required to specify an existing directory with write permission for the directory in which to store the install log file. If it has no write permission, no error message is output onto the command prompt or screen and the process terminates with error.
If the paths to the installation parameter file and install log file contain any spaces, they should be surrounded by double quote characters.
The characters " | : * ? / . < > % & ^ ; ! are not supported for path name for installation parameter file or install log file.
Note
If an invalid option is specified, its corresponding error message is output in the install log file and the process exits. No error message is output in the command prompt or screen.
Do not execute multiple silent install commands at the same time. If a silent install starts while a silent install is executing, the silent install terminates abnormally without creating an install log file.
In the case of default install or in the case the IP address is not specified for "Agent_server_IP_address" of the installation parameter file at custom install, on completion of installation, agent information should be set by the "setagtip" command.
On completion of installation, a command prompt is displayed.
Remove the DVD media used for installation out of the device.
Check the return value from the silent installation command. If necessary, check the install log file. However, if the return value from the silent installation command is 3 or 9, no install log file is created. For details, refer to "D.2 Return Values for Silent Installation (for Storage Cruiser's Agent)".
The installation result can be viewed in the install log file, too.
Open the install log file to see "ResultCode" in the ResponseResult section. In "ResultCode" is written the return value from the silent installation command.
The Storage Cruiser's agent (for Windows) installation is completed.
Refer to "6.1 Setup of Storage Cruiser's Agent" to set up the Storage Cruiser's agent.
