Installing in Windows

There are two ways to install the OneCommand Manager CLI in Windows:

Attended installation – you are present during the installation. You will be

prompted for more information for the installation to continue.

Unattended installation – you do not need to be present during the installation.

Installation will complete on its own. Installation progress may be displayed as

an option.

Attended Installation

To install the OneCommand Manager CLI, run the installation.exe file for a core

Windows driver kit that does not include the OneCommand Manager GUI, and follow

the installer directions.
Use the following syntax for the installation executable file:

elxocmcore-windows-<arch>-<kit version>.exe

<arch> is either “x64” or “x86”.

<kit version> represents the complete kit version.

For example, at the command prompt, type

elxocmcore-windows-x64-5.0.2.14-1.exe

Unattended Installation

To install the OneCommand Manager CLI in Windows unattended, use the following

procedure:
1. From the Emulex website, download the x64 or x86 OneCommand Manager Core

Kit installation file to your system.
