Install App Volumes Manager Silently

You can install App Volumes Manager silently using the Microsoft Windows Installer (MSI).

You might want to perform a silent installation when you want to run the installation unattended.

Prerequisites

• You must have administrator privileges on the machine where you want to perform the silent installation.

• Ensure that your Windows Server has the latest OS security updates. See the Microsoft KB https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2919355 for more information.

• Ensure that you have msodbcsql.msi which installs the ODBC 17.10 driver.

  msodbcsql.msi is present in the App Volumes ISO at Installation\Manager. You can download the ISO from the All Downloads page.

• Access vc_redist.x64.exe executable from the App Volumes Manager folder and run the executable.

Procedure

1. Open a command prompt and run the following command to install the ODBC driver: msodbcsql.msi /qn IACCEPTMSODBCSQLLICENSETERMS=YES /norestart

2. Install App Volumes Manager.msi with the following parameters:

   The valid values for the DEPLOYMENT_PLATFORM parameter are as follows: ["AWS", "Azure", "Dell EMC", "General", "Google Cloud", "Oracle Cloud"]. If no other value of DEPLOYMENT_PLATFORM suits your requirement, then you can select General.

   • Note: To deactivate the SQL server certificate validation during silent installation, use the ENABLESTRONGENCRYPTION parameter. This is an optional parameter.

     Local database with Windows authentication - IS_SQLSERVER_SERVER=(local)\SQLEXPRESS IS_SQLSERVER_DATABASE=svmanager_production RESET_DB=1 ALLOW_HTTP=1 ENABLESTRONGENCRYPTION=0 DEPLOYMENT_PLATFORM=platform

   • Remote database - IS_SQLSERVER_SERVER=ip_address IS_SQLSERVER_DATABASE=database_name RESET_DB=0 ALLOW_HTTP=1 IS_SQLSERVER_USERNAME=username IS_SQLSERVER_PASSWORD=password IS_SQLSERVER_AUTHENTICATION=1 DEPLOYMENT_PLATFORM=platform

     Important: Non-ASCII characters are not supported in the database_name.

   Example: msiexec /i "App Volumes Manager.msi" /qb IS_SQLSERVER_SERVER=(local)\SQLEXPRESS IS_SQLSERVER_DATABASE=svmanager_production RESET_DB=1 ALLOW_HTTP=1 DEPLOYMENT_PLATFORM=Azure
