Windows 2003 & PowerPath 4.5.0 eFIX Silent Install
Hello,
I'm trying to package silent installation of PowerPath.
EMCPP.W2003_32.4.5.0.GA.exe /s /v" /q LICENSENUM=%LICENSE% INSTALL_DRIVE=C NO_REBOOT=1" where LICENSE is License Number, works very well
but the same command line with EMCPP.W2003_32.4.5.0.EF1.GA.exe reboot the computer ...
How can I avoid this reboot using silent install for this eFIX ?
This issue has been fixed and will be part of the next release of PowerPath for Windows. In the meantime, use the following workaround:
Do not use NO_REBOOT=1 setup command line option during silent mode (non-interactive) upgrade from earlier PowerPath versions. Instead, use REBOOT=ReallySupress option in the setup command line.
so if you are trying to do an upgrade on a box that has PP 3.0 installed ..can you do that in one set ..or do you have to uninstall PP 3.0 first reboot and then install 4.5?
This work around can be used on a new host, however, PowerPath is not installed until you reboot the host. If your goal is to install PowerPath and do the reboot later, then yes, you can do this.
