Tivoli Storage Manager for Windows Backup-Archive Clients Installation and User's Guide

Silent Installation

Note:
Beginning with Tivoli Storage Manager Version 4.1, the response file SETUP.ISS is no longer installed.

If you are doing a large number of installs, you might want to perform an unattended or silent install. You can use the following command to silently install the backup archive client from the command line. By placing an appropriate version of this command in a batch script, you can easily perform an identical installation on multiple Windows client workstations. You must enter the command on one line.

 msiexec /i 
 "Z:\tsm_images\TSM_BA_Client\baclient\Tivoli Storage Manager Client.msi"
 RebootYesNo="No" REBOOT="Suppress" ALLUSERS=1
 INSTALLDIR="d:\program files\tivoli\tsm"
 ADDLOCAL="BackupArchiveGUI,BackupArchiveWeb,ApiRuntime,
 AdministrativeCmd,Online_Client_Readmes" TRANSFORMS=1033.mst
 /qn /l*v "c:\log.txt"
 

The command and its parameters are as follows:

/i
Installs the specified source package (replace with /x to uninstall the package).
"Z:\tsm_images\TSM_BA_Client\baclient\Tivoli Storage Manager Client.msi"
This is the complete path to the source package. Z: is the CD-ROM or network drive containing the installation image.
RebootYesNo="No" REBOOT="Suppress"
This specifies not to perform a reboot.

The installation process creates a program group containing all of the client components that you selected. To run any of these components, open the Windows Start menu and select Programs> Tivoli Storage Manager.

If you have multiple client installations on the same system, be careful when changing from one client to another. Environment variables such as DSM_DIR may be shared by more than one installed client.
