Silent upgrade
Upgrading Systems Insight Manager from the command line with an xml file.
A silent.xml file resides in the same directory as setup.exe. This text file can be edited with any text
editor. If upgrading Systems Insight Manager from the DVD, copy the silent.xml to a location where the
file can be edited. If upgrading Systems Insight Manager from the web, then after extracting the installation
program, edit the silent.xml file and launch the setup in Silent mode. The silent.xml file contains the
parameters for the upgrade process.
The option to perform a Silent upgrade is available through a command line installation. A silent install
occurs when setup.exe is launched with the command line options for a Silent install.
Execute:
setup.exe –s “<path to silent file>” –svcpw “<service password>” –dbpw
“<database password>”
NOTE: In the Upgrade mode, the svcpw and dbpw passwords provided should be that of the existing
