AutoPilot Installer Installation Reports

During each installation, AutoPilot Installer produces a report describing events that

occurred during the installation. This report has several sections.

The first section provides basic information including the time and date of the

installation, the name of the machine that the installation was performed on, the

version number of AutoPilot Installer, and the identification of the

configuration file that was used.

The second section provides an inventory of the Emulex adapters as they were

before AutoPilot Installer performed any actions.

The third section lists the tasks that AutoPilot performs in the order they are

done.

The fourth section records the results of each task. When all driver installation

tasks are completed, an updated adapter inventory is recorded.

Note: If you cancel AutoPilot Installer, that fact is recorded along with when you

cancelled the installation. The contents of any error dialogs that are displayed

are also recorded.

Command Script Example

Modify the configuration file to script the installation of a system's driver. The

following example command script (batch file) assumes that you have made

mandatory changes to the AutoPilot configuration file, as well as any desired optional

changes. If your systems were set up with a service that supports remote execution,

then you can create a command script to remotely update drivers for all of the systems

on the storage net. If Microsoft's RCMD service was installed, for example, a script

similar to the following would run remote execution:

rcmd \\server1 g:\emulex\autopilot installer\fc\apinstall.exe

if errorlevel 1 goto server1ok

echo AutoPilot reported an error upgrading Server 1.

if not errorlevel 2147483650 goto unsupported

echo Configuration file missing.

goto server1ok

:unsupported

if not errorlevel 2147483649 goto older

echo Unsupported operating system detected.

:older

if not errorlevel 2001 goto none

echo The driver found is the same or older than the existing driver.
