Installing, upgrading, or uninstalling
servers

You can install, upgrade, or uninstall Storage Mirroring Recover, Storage Mirroring
Replicate, or Storage Mirroring Data Migration on a single server, multiple servers, or all
servers in the Enterprise Install Console.

1. Select the server(s) that you want to install, upgrade, or uninstall.

l

Single server—Right-click one server in the Servers folder and select
Action, Install or Upgrade or select Action, Uninstall.

l

Multiple servers—Highlight the root of the Servers folder and then in the
right pane select multiple servers. Use the Shift key to select contiguous
servers in the list or use the Ctrl key to select non-contiguous servers in the
list. Once the servers have been selected, right-click in the right pane and
select Install or Upgrade or Uninstall.

l

All servers—Right-click the root of the Servers folder and select Action,
Install or Upgrade or select Action, Uninstall.

2. In some cases, the server may have to be rebooted to complete the installation,

upgrade, or uninstallation. Specify how you want to handle the reboot, if it is
required. You can let Enterprise Install Console automatically reboot the server at
the end of the installation, or you can reboot the server manually. If a reboot is
required, protection cannot be enabled until the server has been rebooted. Select
your desired reboot option.

3. Verify that you have selected the correct servers, and click OK.

During the installation, upgrade, or uninstallation process, you can highlight the root of
the Servers folder to see summary status for all of the servers or you can select an
individual server to see detailed status of that server.

During the installation and upgrade process, Enterprise Install Console copies the
installation files to the temporary directory specified in the server’s settings. The
installation or upgrade is then launched on the server. You will not see any activity on
the server desktop during the process, although Windows Task Manager will show that
setup.exe is running. No files are copied during an uninstallation, but the Task Manager
will show msiexec.exe processes.

Enterprise Install Console monitors the progress of the installation, upgrade, or
uninstallation. When the process is complete, Enterprise Install Console checks the log
file to confirm the process was successful. If the process had errors, you will be notified
of an error via the server Status. Check the \logs directory in the location where you
installed Enterprise Install Console by selecting File, Open Logs Directory. Each
