For a silent DLO installation on a Backup Exec media server, modify the following file:
c:Program FilesVERITASBackup ExecNTAgentsDLOsetup.ini
Note: The path will vary if Backup Exec is not installed to the default location on the media server.
1. Open the file setup.ini.
2. Change the following line from:
CmdLine=/qf DEFAULTMEDIASERVER="SERVERNAME" LAUNCHCLIENT="1" /l*v "%TEMP%DLOAgentInstall.log"
to:
CmdLine=/qn DEFAULTMEDIASERVER="SERVERNAME" LAUNCHCLIENT="0" /l*v "%TEMP%DLOAgentInstall.log"
3. Save the file.
Descriptions
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
| /qn | Silent install switch |
| DEFAULTMEDIASERVER=”SERVERNAME” | The name of your Media server (replacing SERVERNAME with the name / IP address of your Media server |
| “%TEMP%DLOAgentInstall.log” | Location in which the installation log file will be saved |
| LAUNCHCLIENT=”0″ | Choose whether to bring up the program interface during the installation |
After making this change, setup.exe can be run from the DLOAgent Share folder from the media server while on the client PC, or a script can be used to do this.
Additional information:
It has been observed that setup does not pick up the information in setup.ini with some third party applications that may be used to deploy this package using a script. In such cases, setup.ini can be forced to be used by adding the following command to the batch file:
“setup.exe /settings setup.ini”.
It is advisable to create a customized setup.ini file, instead of modifying the original setup.ini so that too many changes are not made to the original file.
