Unattended Installation Using a Custom Package on Windows Client

You can configure a direct connection from the CommServe computer to the client during an unattended installation using a custom package on a Windows client.

Before You Begin

You must create a placeholder for the client that will receive connections from the CommServe computer. Follow the appropriate instructions based on the type of network route configuration:

• If you plan to use a predefined network topology, see Setting up a One-Way Direct Connection (CommServe to Client) Using a Predefined Network Topology. You must configure the topology and then create a placeholder.

• If you plan to use advanced settings, see Setting up Connections on the CommServe Computer.

Procedure

From the command prompt on the Windows client, run the following command:

 
Setup.exe /silent /play install.xml /fwtype 1 /csclientname <CS clientname> /tunnelport <tunnelport> /authcode <authcode> /httpproxytype <httpproxytype> /httpproxyhostname <httpproxyhostname> /httpproxyport <httpproxyport>

Where:

• fwtype 1 means that the CommServe computer can open a tunnel to this client (required)

• <CS clientname> is the CommServe client name (optional)

• <tunnelport> is the tunnel port of the local client (optional)

• <authcode> is the authcode of the CommCell or company (optional)

• <httpproxytype> is the HTTP proxy type, which can be one of the following integer values (optional):

  • 0: No HTTP proxy.

  • 1: Explicit HTTP proxy. If this value is used, then you must also include the following additional parameters:

    • <httpproxyhostname> is the hostname of the proxy.

    • <httpproxyport>- is the port number of the proxy.

    Example: Setup.exe /play install.xml /httpproxytype 1 /httpproxyhostname examplehost.commvault.com /httpproxyport 8403

  • 2: HTTP setting automatically taken from user profile.

  • 3: HTTP setting automatically taken from WPAD settings.
