Installing, upgrading, or uninstalling Storage
Mirroring
You can install, upgrade, or uninstall Storage Mirroring on a single server, multiple servers, or all
servers in the Install Console.
z Single server—If you are installing or upgrading, highlight one server in the Servers folder and
select Action, Install or Upgrade or right-click and select Action, Install or Upgrade. If you
are uninstalling, highlight one server in the Servers folder and select Action, Uninstall or
right-click and select Action, Uninstall.
z Multiple servers—Highlight the root of the Servers folder and then select the servers you want
to install, upgrade, or uninstall on the right pane of the Install Console. Use the Shift key to select
contiguous servers in the list or use the Ctrl key to select non-contiguous servers in the list. Once
the servers have been selected, right-click in the right pane and select Install or Upgrade or
Uninstall.
z All servers—If you are installing or upgrading, highlight the root of the Servers folder and select
Action, Install or Upgrade or right-click the root and select Action, Install or Upgrade. If you
are uninstalling, highlight the root of the Servers folder and select Action, Uninstall or
right-click the root and select Action, Uninstall.
After the process you selected starts, you can highlight the root of the Servers folder to see summary
status of all of the servers or you can select an individual server to see detailed status of that server.
During the installation and upgrade process, Enterprise Install Console copies the Storage Mirroring
installation files to the temporary directory specified in the server’s settings. The installation or
upgrade is then launched on the server. You will not see any activity on the server desktop during
the process, although Windows Task Manager will show that setup.exe is running. No files are copied
during an uninstallation, but the Task Manager will show
msiexec.exe processes. Enterprise Install
Console monitors the progress of the installation, upgrade, or uninstallation. When the process is
complete, Enterprise Install Console checks the log file to confirm the process was successful.
z Successful installation, upgrade, or uninstallation—If the installation, upgrade, or
uninstallation was successful, Enterprise Install Console automatically reboots the server. If you
were installing or upgrading, after the reboot, Enterprise Install Console checks the status of the
Storage Mirroring service on the server and marks the installation or upgrade as complete in the
Install Console. If you are uninstalling, the Install Console will be updated as complete after the
reboot. If you have the root of the Servers folder highlighted, the machine will be relocated to
the group associated with that Storage Mirroring version.
z Failed installation, upgrade or uninstallation—If the installation, upgrade, or uninstallation
had errors, you will be notified of an error and the server will not be rebooted. Check the \logs
directory in the location where you installed Enterprise Install Console by selecting File, Open
Logs Directory. Each server that you installed, upgraded, or uninstalled will have a log file.
Determine from the log file what caused the error, resolve the error, and then restart the
installation or upgrade.
