Uncomment the line that sets “SilentInstallEnable” to “True”. There are other
settings in the same section of the configuration file related to unattended
installations that you may also want to edit. See “Software Configuration
Parameters” on page 728 for more information. After editing the file, you can
run the AutoPilot Installer from the Start menu, a command prompt, or a script.
Installation Failure
If the installation fails, the Diagnostics window displays that the adapter failed.
If the adapter fails:
1. Select the adapter to view the reason for the failure. The reason and suggested
corrective action are displayed.
2. Perform the suggested corrective action and run AutoPilot Installer again.
Note: You can run AutoPilot Installer again from the Start menu
(Programs>Emulex>AutoPilot Installer) or you can run APInstall.exe from
a command prompt.
Manually Installing or Updating the Emulex Protocol
Drivers
You can install or update the Emulex protocol drivers and utilities manually without
using AutoPilot Installer.
The Emulex PLUS (ElxPlus) driver supports the OneCommand Manager application,
persistent binding, and LUN mapping and masking.
Note: The ElxPlus driver must be installed before you install the Emulex protocol
drivers.
Installing the Emulex PLUS (ElxPlus) Driver for the First
Time
Note: Only one instance of the ElxPlus driver should be installed, even if you have
multiple adapter ports installed in your system.
To install the ElxPlus driver from the desktop:
1. Run the driver kit installer, but do not run AutoPilot Installer. See “Running a
Software Installation Interactively” on page 566 for instructions.
2. Select Start>Settings>Control Panel>Add Hardware. The Add Hardware Wizard
window appears. Click Next.
3. Select Yes, I have already connected the hardware and click Next.
4. Select Add a new hardware device and click Next.
5. Select Install the hardware that I manually select from a list (Advanced) and click
Next.
