Installing Storage Mirroring
automatically
The Storage Mirroring installation program can accept command-line
parameters which allow you to automate the installation process by
running an unattended, or silent, installation. The silent installation allows
you to pass parameters through to the installation program instead of
entering information manually during the installation.
Since the automated Storage Mirroring installation does not prompt for
settings, the settings are manually defined in a configuration file called
DTSetup.ini.
By default, DTSetup.ini contains default values for each parameter. These
parameters are divided into three sections.
! The first section, [Double-Take], specifies the setup type, the
activation code to be used on the server and if the system should
automatically reboot. This section applies to all types of installations.
! The second section, [Client], specifies the parameters that will be
used for a client only installation.
! The third section, [Windows] specifies the server settings that will be
using for extended queuing, clustering support, SNMP and the TCP/IP
ports used to communicate with other servers.
Each section is outlined in the following tables.
Silent Installation [Double-Take] Options
NOTE: If you are using Windows NT 4.0, the Microsoft Windows
Installer engine must be loaded for the silent installation to
work correctly. If it is not loaded, you have two choices.
1. Download the Installer engine from the Microsoft web
site, install it and then perform the Storage Mirroring
silent installation.
2. Perform the Storage Mirroring silent installation, keeping
in mind that the Installer engine will be installed first
forcing a system reboot, and then the silent installation
will be performed, which may or may not reboot the
system again, depending on your options.
