Abstract

This tip describes how to set up ServeRAID Manager so that you can perform an unattended install of the product on a Windows server.

Main

To set up ServeRAID Manager so that it can be installed in an unattended fashion on a Windows system, do the following:
  1. Go to a system that will be a test server for the rollout.
  2. Copy the X:\winnt\manager directory (where X is the CD-ROM drive letter) to a temp directory on your hard drive.
  3. Open a command prompt and change the directory to the temp directory.
  4. Run setup -r to start the install of the ServeRAID Manager.
  5. Complete the install wizard with the desired options. These are the options that will be used when the software is installed unattended.
  6. Upon completion of the install, a SETUP.ISS file is written to the %windir% directory. Typically, %windir% is C:\WINNT or C:\WINDOWS.
  7. Copy the SETUP.ISS file to the temp directory.

Now, from this directory you can run the following command to install ServeRAID Manager without having to answer any of the installation questions:

setup /s

The installation options used are the ones that were supplied in Step 5 above. You can copy the files from this directory to your rollout server for installation on other servers.
