Installing VSC for VMware vSphere using silent mode

You can install Virtual Storage Console for VMware vSphere using silent mode instead of the installation wizard. When you use silent mode, you enter a command line that lets you automatically install all of the VSC features at one time.

Before you begin

Steps

  1. Download the VSC installer.
  2. Use the following command format to install VSC:
    installer.exe /s /v"/qn /Li logfile ADDLOCAL=ALL INSTALLDIR=\"installation path\""
    This command installs all of the VSC features, including the VSC backup and restore features.
    Example
    The following example shows a command line for a 64-bit host machine: VSC-6.2-win64.exe /s /v"/qn /Li install.log ADDLOCAL=ALL INSTALLDIR=\"C:\Program Files\NetApp\Virtual Storage Console\""
  3. At the web page that appears when the installation finishes, register VSC with the vCenter Server.

    You must provide the vCenter Server host name or IP address and the administrative credentials.

    Note: To register VSC with the vCenter Server, you must have administrator privileges for your Windows login.
