PowerProtect Data Manager 19.9 Microsoft Application Agent SQL Server User Guide

Install the Microsoft application agent with a silent installation

Learn how to install the Microsoft application agent with the command prompt for a silent installation.

To silently install the Microsoft application agent, run the following command:

emcmsappagent-19.9.0.0.exe -silent -log "<log_file_path>" [ProductInstallPath="<installation_path>" AgentServicePath="<installation_path>"] [EnableSSMS={0|1}] [EnableVMDirect={0|1}] [EnableProtectPoint={0|1}] [EnableSSMSProtectPoint={0|1}] [InstallPPDMAgentCheckBox={0|1}] [EnableFirewallRules={0|1}] [PPDMHostname="<hostname/IP>"] [EnableCLR={0|1}]

NOTE The ItemPoint software cannot be installed silently. To install ItemPoint for granular-level recovery, use the Microsoft application agent installation wizard.

The following table describes the required silent installation command options.

Table 1. Required silent installation command options
Command option	Description
-silent	Specifies a silent installation.
-log "`<log_file_path>`"	Specifies the path where the log file is created or saved. The log file displays the status of the installation. For a silent installation, you must use the -log "`<log_file_path>`" option.

The following table describes the optional silent installation command options.

Table 2. Optional silent installation command options
Command option	Description
ProductInstallPath="`<installation_path>`" AgentServicePath="`<installation_path>`"	Specifies a modified path where the product and agent service must be installed. Both options must be specified for an installation to a custom location. If you do not specify these options, the product and agent service are installed in the default location. NOTE The agent service is always installed, regardless of the InstallPPDMAgentCheckBox command option setting.
EnableSSMS={0\|1}	Specifies whether to install the SSMS plug-in. The default value is 1, which installs the SSMS plug-in.
EnableVMDirect={0\|1}	Installs VM Direct when you specify the value 1. The default value is 0, which does not install VM Direct.
EnableProtectPoint={0\|1}	Installs the Storage Direct hardware provider when you specify the value 1. The default value is 0, which does not install Storage Direct.
EnableSSMSProtectPoint={0\|1}	Installs the Storage Direct hardware provider and the SSMS plug-in for Storage Direct when you specify the value 1. The default value is 0, which does not install these options.
InstallPPDMAgentCheckBox={0\|1}	Integrates the Microsoft application agent with the PowerProtect Data Manager server during installation when you specify the value 1. The default value is 0. NOTE Installation of the PowerProtect agent requires port 7000 to be open bidirectionally. Ensure that you use the EnableFirewallRules=1 command option setting to open the Windows firewall. Port 7000 is required to enable communication between the Microsoft application agent and the PowerProtect Data Manager appliance.
EnableFirewallRules={0\|1}	Specifies to configure the Windows firewall when you specify the value 1. The default value is 0. The Windows firewall enables the bidirectional inbound and outbound connections for the agent service over port 7000, which enables the communication between the Microsoft application agent and PowerProtect Data Manager.
PPDMHostname="`<hostname/IP>`"	Specifies the hostname or IP address of the PowerProtect Data Manager server where the backup information is reported.
EnableCLR={0\|1}	Specifies whether to deploy CLR. By default, this option is enabled and has the value 1, which deploys CLR.

Example commands to silently install the Microsoft application agent

Consider the following example commands to silently install the Microsoft application agent:

The following command installs the Microsoft application agent with VM Direct:
```
emcmsappagent-19.9.0.0.exe -silent EnableVMDirect=1
```

The following command installs the Microsoft application agent with the Application Direct SSMS plug-in:

emcmsappagent-19.9.0.0.exe -silent -log "C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\installLog.txt" ProductInstallPath="C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\EMC msappagent—sappagent40"

The following command installs the Microsoft application agent without deploying CLR:

emcmsappagent-19.9.0.0.exe -silent -log "C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\installLog.txt" ProductInstallPath="C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\EMC msappagent—sappagent40" EnableCLR=0

The following command installs the Microsoft application agent with Storage Direct only:

emcmsappagent-19.9.0.0.exe -silent -log "C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\installLog.txt" ProductInstallPath="C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\EMC msappagent—sappagent40" EnableProtectPoint=1 EnableSSMS=0

The following command installs the Microsoft application agent with Storage Direct and the SSMS plug-in:

emcmsappagent-19.9.0.0.exe -silent -log "C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\installLog.txt" ProductInstallPath="C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\EMC msappagent—sappagent40" EnableSSMSProtectPoint=1

The following command installs the Microsoft application agent with the PowerProtect Data Manager integration:

emcmsappagent-19.9.0.0.exe -silent InstallPPDMAgentCheckBox=1 PPDMHostname="<PowerProtect_Data_Manager_hostname_or_IP>"

The following command installs the Microsoft application agent (including the agent service) to a custom location that is not on the system drive:

emcmsappagent-19.9.0.0.exe -silent ProductInstallPath="G:\Software\MSAPPAGENT" AgentServicePath="G:\Software" InstallPPDMAgentCheckBox=1 PPDMHostname="<PowerProtect_Data_Manager_hostname_or_IP>" EnableCLR=0

The following command installs the Microsoft application agent (including the agent service) to a custom location and enables the firewall for communication with PowerProtect Data Manager:

emcmsappagent-19.9.0.0.exe -silent -log "C:\Temp\PPDM.log" EnableSSMS=1 ProductInstallPath="C:\custom\MSAPPAGENT" AgentServicePath="C:\custom" InstallPPDMAgentCheckBox=1 EnableFirewallRules=1 PPDMHostname="10.118.136.192" EnableCLR=0
