Silent Install

Silent installation allows for unattended installation and does not prompt you for any input. Silent installations are used when performing similar installations on more than one computer.

The two methods for launching a CA ARCserve D2D silent installation include:

• From the self-extracting executable file package that you installed when you downloaded CA ARCserve D2D.
• From the CA ARCserve D2D CD (ISO) image which includes the CA ARCserve D2D setup and WinPE.

To launch the silent installation from the self-extracting executable, run the following command:

"CA ARCserve D2D Setup.exe" /s /a /i /AdminUser:<UserName> /AdminPwd:<Password>

To launch the silent installation from the CD image, run the following command:

<CDROOT>\Install\MasterSetup.exe /i /AdminUser:<UserName> /AdminPwd:<Password>

When configuring a silent installation, use the following syntax and arguments:

• s - Specifies to run the executable file package using the silent mode.
• a - Specifies any additional command line options.
• i - Specifies to run the installation using the silent mode.
• AdminUser - Specifies the user name.

  Note: User name must be an account that has administrative privileges.

• AdminPwd - Specifies the corresponding password for the AdminUser.

For a silent installation, CA ARCserve D2D automatically uses all the default backup settings and the following configuration settings:

• Install location: C:\Program Files\CA\ARCserve D2D
• Port: 8014

Restart the target computer after the silent installation is finished.
