You can use the setup program (setup.exe)
to silently install Data Protection for SQL Server. If you
are protecting Microsoft SQL
Server 2012 and later versions, you can also use the setup
program to silently install Data Protection for SQL Server on Windows Server Core.
Before you begin
- If you want to install Data Protection for SQL Server on
Windows Server Core,
first install the IBM Spectrum Protect™ client
on the same computer as Data Protection for SQL Server.
- The Data Protection for SQL Server
Management Console and Data Protection for SQL Server must
be installed from an account that is a member of the local
Administrators group for the system on which the SQL Server
is running.
About this task
The
Data Protection for SQL Server setup
program is on the installation media (where
x: is
your DVD drive):
- (32-bit) x:\fcm\x86\sql\7140\enu\setup.exe
- (64-bit) x:\fcm\x64\sql\7140\enu\setup.exe
Procedure
- Issue the following command to silently install both Data Protection for SQL Server components to
the default installation directory:
x:\fcm\aaa\sql\7140\enu\setup.exe /s /v/qn
where x:
is your DVD drive and aaa is either x64 or
x86. The following command is an example. x:\fcm\x64\mmc\4140\enu\setup.exe /s /v/qn
x:\fcm\x64\sql\7140\enu\setup.exe /s /v/qn
where
x: is your DVD drive.
- The following examples are commands that specify the target
directory, the features, start suppression, and logging. Specify each
command on a single line from a Run as Administrator command
prompt window.
x:\fcm\x64\mmc\4140\enu\setup.exe /s /v"INSTALLDIR=\"C:\Program Files\Tivoli\"
ADDLOCAL=\"Client\" TRANSFORM=1033.mst REBOOT=ReallySuppress /qn /l*v
\"C:\Temp\DpSqlMmcSetupLog.txt\""
x:\fcm\x64\sql\7140\enu\setup.exe /s /v"INSTALLDIR=\"C:\Program Files\Tivoli\tsm\"
ADDLOCAL=\"Client\" TRANSFORM=1033.mst REBOOT=ReallySuppress /qn /l*v
\"C:\Temp\DpSqlSetupLog.txt\""
- Review these guidelines as you complete the installation
process:
- You must place a backslash (\) before each quotation mark that
is within an outer set of quotation marks (").
- For a single-line command, press Enter only
when all the parameters are entered.
- You must place quotation marks (") around the following text:
- A directory path that contains spaces.
- An argument that specifies multiple features. Although you must
use quotation marks around the complete argument, you must
still place a backslash before each internal quotation mark.
- All features that are listed in a custom installation must be
listed after the addlocal option.
- Setting the rebootyesno option to No applies
only to the installation of the Data Protection for SQL Server software.
The installation package includes a number of prerequisites
that is installed by Data Protection for SQL Server. Ensure
that all the prerequisites are installed before starting the
silent installation, then set the rebootyesno option
to No so that no system restart is required
after the silent installation process finishes.
