176 Customizing the SAN Manager LM Installer
Customizing the SAN Manager LM Installer
Some SAN Manager LM preferences are written into the registry by the installer. When you
run the installer, it parses the file ModifiedInstall.txt and makes registry entries based on
the contents of the file. The ModifiedInstall.txt file also allows you to specify installation
settings such as the destination folder, and to set preferences for updating the registry, and
installing the HP SAN Manager LM QLogic HBA driver and the administration application.
Note The ModifiedInstall.txt file is located in the SAN Manager LM Installer directory
on the SAN Manager LM installation CD.
You can create a custom installer by editing the ModifiedInstall.txt file. This method can be
used to install entire sites with consistent, custom configurations. Follow these steps:
1. Copy the SAN Manager LM installation files from the CD to any read-write disk.
2. The ModifiedInstall.txt file is set to read-only when you copy it from the CD. In the
ModifiedInstall.txt file’s properties, deselect the read-only file attribute.
3. In the new file location, edit the ModifiedInstall.txt file.
4. Make the custom installer accessible to all hosts by placing the installer files, including
the ModifiedInstall.txt file, on a LAN file-server share, or create your own installer CD,
or copy the files onto other removable media.
Note For more information about the settings that can be customized, see the
ModifiedInstall.txt file, Table 6, and Table 7.
