Attended Installation

Procedure

To perform an attended installation:
1. From the Emulex website, download the elxdrvr-nic-teaming-<version>.exe to

your system. The installer is an executable file that self-extracts and copies the

following software onto your system:

NIC Teaming driver

NIC Teaming and VLAN Manager

NIC Teaming and VLAN Manager utilities

2. Navigate to the system directory to which you downloaded the file and

double-click the elxdrvr-nic-teaming-<version>.exe file.

Unattended Installation

An unattended driver installation (a quiet or silent installation) requires no user input.

This is useful for performing an installation remotely from a command script, or when

you want to make sure a custom configuration is not changed by a user during

installation.

Procedure

To perform an unattended installation:
1. From the Emulex website, download the elxdrvr-nic-teaming-<version>.exe file to

your system.
The kit is activated with the optional switch /q or /q2. The /q switch displays

progress reports.
The /q2 switch does not display progress report.

2. Run the driver kit installer with the optional switch.

For example, use the following command:

elxdrvr-nic-teaming-<version>.exe /q2

Note: If unattended installation fails, it may be because the operating system

prerequisites have not been met. To ascertain if this is the reason, run the

installation interactively. If you encounter error messages when you run the

installation interactively, the same error messages apply to an unattended

installation. See Table 2-1 on page 750 for a complete list of prerequisites.
