Unattended Install with OfflineInstaller NPM v12.2

darryld

Has anyone had any success with a silent/unattended install using the new offlineinstaller?

I can't stop the installer installing SQLExpress and I can't see a way to specify which products I want

In case anyone else is trying to do this I will answer my own question

As of 13/10/17 it is not possible to complete a silent install using the new (v12.2) offlineinstaller

Hello, I'm having the same trouble with this - did you get a response from SolarWinds, or did you figure out it couldn't be silently installed yourself? Any answer would be appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks Serena.

Is it possible to redirect the installation action log into a file, this will be really helpful to troubleshoot the sequence and correctness of configuration entered in the XML file.

By default, if the silent install logs are recorded somewhere, please share the file path.

Thanks,

Guru

all installer logs go into the same place %programdata%/Solarwinds/Logs/Installer so even if you run it silently you should be able to follow the logs for better troubleshooting.

Hi Serena,

After following the steps mentioned in the link, Orion platform installed but configurations are not set.

My understanding is, after executing below command, only the platform will be installed. For NPM DB creation and Solarwinds Perfmon web component deployment in IIS, we need to run the configuration wizard again.

cd "FOLDER-WHERE-INSTALLER-IS"

start /wait "PRODUCT-INSTALLER-EXE" /s /ConfigFile="FULL-PATH-TO-CONFIGURATION-FILE"

But I don't want to run the configuration wizard in UI mode, a single script should install and configure the SolarWinds NPM and NTA modules in one go ( silent install command to run config wizard)

Note: I am trying to install NPM 12.5 and NTA 4.6

Thanks,

Guru

the line that specifies the config file actually instructs the configuration wizard to run silently as well. The fact that you're needing to run the configuration wizard again means that your file isn't configured properly. If you file a support ticket, they could take a closer look to see what's going wrong.

Thanks serena,

Is there a way to preform an unattended install of NTA (NetFlow) and configure it place its database on a separate physical server than the Orion database uses? Example NPM places its database on Server1 and NTA places its database on Server2

jmpata

Is this where I can find working examples of XML file for silent install?
