Optional: Installing from the Windows command prompt

If you prefer using command-line interface (CLI) instead of running the installation wizard, you can use the Windows command prompt program (cmd.exe) to run the setup executable. In addition, you can use this method to install the IBM® Storage Enabler with verbose logging and in different levels of unattended installation modes.

If you want to run the CLI setup with verbose logging (creates a local log file), run the installation executable in its folder location as follows:

<IBM_Enabler_for_Win_Clustering-1.2.1*.exe> v”/l*vx setup.log”

Note: The /l*vx argument is part of the Microsoft Windows Installer (msiexec.exe) syntax for verbose output. For more information, refer to the following Microsoft MSDN Library web address:

Installing in unattended (silent) mode

If you want to run the installation in unattended (silent) mode to eliminate user interaction during the installation, run the installation executable in its folder location as follows:

<IBM_Enabler_for_Win_Clustering-1.2.1*.exe> /s /v”/qn”

If needed, you can replace or add arguments as detailed in Table 1.
