Getting Started Step 2: Installing and Starting Adaptec Storage Manager

Completing a Silent Windows Installation (Advanced)

A silent installation uses command line parameters to complete an installation without
messages or user interaction.
To complete a silent installation:
1
Insert the Adaptec Storage Manager Installation CD into your CD drive.
2
Open a command prompt window and change to the CD directory.
3
Install Adaptec Storage Manager using this command line string:
setup.exe /s /v" /qn <properties>"
where is one or more of the options listed in the next table. Separate
<properties>
properties with spaces; separate feature names for the ADDLOCAL property with commas
(see examples on page
Property Values

be set for a command line install, and must be enclosed in escaped quotation
(Not required)
marks. For example:
INSTALLDIR=\"C:\Program Files\Adaptec\Adaptec Storage Manager\"
Note: If you do not explicitly set the installation path, the default path is
"C:\Program Files\Adaptec\Adaptec Storage Manager"
ADDLOCAL Note: Use commas to separate multiple values.
(Required) ALL—Installs all of the following features. If you specify ALL, do not also specify
●
any of the following values.
Manager—Installs Adaptec Storage Manager. If this feature is installed, your
●
system will reboot if certain RAID cards that use the filter driver are installed. If
necessary, you can use the REBOOT property to suppress this (see
SNMPSupport—Installs SNMP support for Adaptec Storage Manager. If you
●
specify the SNMPSupport value, the Manager value is also specified
automatically. (See
ASMReadme—Installs the Readme file its Start menu shortcut.
●
CLITools—Installs Command Line Interface tools.
●
REBOOT Force—Forces a reboot at the end of the installation.
●
(Not Required) Suppress—Suppresses a reboot unless files were in use and could not be
●
overwritten during installation.
ReallySuppress—Suppresses all reboots at the end of the installation.
●
NOTE: A reboot is only forced by the Adaptec installer if you have installed
Manager or DSM, or if any files can't be overwritten.
Note:
Synchronous Installation—To install Adaptec Storage Manager so that the setup.exe file
does not close until the installation is complete, add the /w parameter to setup.exe and run
the application with the start /WAIT command as shown in this example:
start /WAIT setup.exe /w /s /v" /qn <OPTIONS>"
You might want to do this for a batch file installation so that the setup will not return until the
installation is finished.

After a minute or two, the silent installation should be complete and the Adaptec Storage
Manager icon should be accessible.
