Installation for Windows 2003/XP and Remote Launch service
HP-MPI must be installed on all systems in the same location. To run multihost, the HP-MPI
Remote Launch service must also be installed and started on all systems. Install HP-MPI as
Administrator.
To install HP-MPI, double-click HP-MPI-1.1-20070420.exe and follow the instructions. On
the Select Component screen, select the second option HP-MPI libraries, Tools and
Services for Windows 2003/XP. This will register and start the Remote Launch service.
When installing HP-MPI with remote service, be sure to install on a local disk or the service
will not register and start properly.
To install HP-MPI from the command line, run setup.exe. The following options are allowed
with setup.exe:
/silent Installs HP-MPI with default options. Progress is displayed in a desktop
window. The default option is HP-MPI for Windows CCS. To select Windows
2003/XP, see the /components flag below.
/verysilent Installs HP-MPI with default options with no process window or output. The
default option is HP-MPI for Windows CCS. To select Windows 2003/XP, see
the /components flag below.
/components="hpmpiccs"
Installs HP-MPI for Windows CCS, including all HP-MPI libraries and tools,
help files, and executables, except the Remote Launch service.
/components="hpmpi"
Installs HP-MPI for Windows 2003/XP, including all HP-MPI libraries and
tools, help files, and executables, including the Remote Launch service. This
will also register and start the Remote Launch service. To install without
registering or starting the service, see the /tasks flag below.
/tasks="!RegisterService
During the installation, this option will not register the HP-MPI Remote
Launch service. The service will still be included in the HP-MPI
components, and the user can install and start the service later manually.
