REINSTALL and
REMOVE customization
CLI parameters provide a way to customize the exact software features
to install, reinstall, or uninstall when running a silent or unattended
installation. With the customization parameters, you selectively install,
reinstall, or uninstall software features for different systems using
the same unattended installation package. For example, you can choose
to install Server Administrator, but not Remote Access Controller
service on a specific group of servers, and choose to install Server
Administrator, but not Storage Management Service, on another group
of servers. You can also choose to uninstall one or multiple features
on a specific group of servers.
-
NOTE: Type the REINSTALL,
and REMOVE CLI parameters in upper case, as they are case‑sensitive.
You can include the
REINSTALL customization
parameter on the command line and assign the feature ID (IDs) of the
software feature that you want to reinstall. For example,
msiexec.exe /i SysMgmt.msi REINSTALL=BRCM /qn
This command runs the installation for Systems Management
and reinstalls only the Broadcom agent, in an unattended but not silent
mode.
You can include the
REMOVE customization parameter
on the command line and assign the feature ID (IDs) of the software
feature that you want to uninstall. For example,
msiexec.exe
/i SysMgmt.msi REMOVE=BRCM /qn
This command runs the installation for Systems Management
and uninstalls only the Broadcom agent, in an unattended but not silent
mode.
You can also choose to install, reinstall, and uninstall
features with one execution of the
msiexec.exe program. For
example,
msiexec.exe /i SysMgmt.msi REMOVE=BRCM /qn
This command runs the installation for managed system
software, and uninstalls the Broadcom agent. This execution is in
an unattended but not silent mode.
The following table provides the list of feature IDs
for each software feature.

NOTE: The software feature
IDs mentioned in the table are case-sensitive.
