Installing Management Station Software 81
The unattended installation package is distributed to the remote systems
using a software distribution tool from an independent software vendor (ISV).
When the package is distributed, the installation script installs the software.
Unattended Installation Features
Unattended installation provides the following features:
• A set of optional command line settings to customize an unattended
installation
• Customization parameters to designate specific software features for
installation
• A prerequisite checker program that examines the dependency status of
selected software features without having to perform an actual installation
Creating and Distributing the Typical Unattended Installation Package
The Typical Setup unattended installation option uses the Dell Systems Console
and Agent CD or the Dell Systems Management Tools and Documentation DVD
as the unattended installation package. The msiexec.exe /i
MgmtSt.msi /qb command accesses the CD or DVD to accept the software
license agreement and install all required management station software products
on selected remote systems. The msiexec.exe /i MgmtSt.msi /qb
command installs management station software on each remote system, based
on the system's hardware and software configuration.
You can make the Dell Systems Console and Agent CD or the Dell Systems
Management Tools and Documentation DVD image available to the remote
system either by distributing the entire contents of the media, or by mapping
a drive from the target system to the location of the CD image.
Mapping a Drive to Act as the Typical Unattended Installation Package
To map a drive to act as the Typical unattended installation package, do the
following:
1
Share an image of the
Dell Systems
Console and Agent
CD or the
Dell
Systems Management Tools and Documentation
DVD with each remote
system on which you want to install the management station software.
You can accomplish this task by directly sharing the media or by copying
the entire CD/DVD to a drive and sharing the copy.
