Exit Codes
The Installer's Setup program returns an exit code that indicates the result of its actions.
This result code is useful if you run Setup in unattended installation in a batch file,
where it can be tested through the %ERRORLEVEL% variable (Windows NT4 and later
only), or by using an IF ERRORLEVEL statement. An exit code of zero indicates
success. A non-zero exit code indicates a failure.
If you run Setup from a batch file or from a command line prompt, the default
Windows behavior is to continue with the next command as soon as Setup starts; it
does not wait until Setup has finished. As a result, the value of %ERRORLEVEL% does
not necessarily reflect an accurate exit code.
To remedy this, run Setup as follows:
c:\share>START /wait elxdrvr-nic-teaming-<version>.exe /q
c:\share>echo %ERRORLEVEL%
This ensures that the command does not return until Setup has exited.
Updating the Driver and the NIC Teaming and VLAN
Manager
Caution: Use the Emulex-provided kit to update the NIC Teaming and VLAN
Manager. Do not use a previous version of the driver utilities to update the
OneCommand NIC Teaming driver and NIC Teaming and VLAN Manager.
If you do, unpredictable results will occur.
Caution: Do not update the NIC Teaming driver and NIC Teaming and VLAN
Manager while I/O traffic is running. If you do, unpredictable results will
occur.
To update the NIC Teaming driver and the NIC Teaming and VLAN Manager while
preserving the existing configuration (including the IP address):
1. From the Emulex website, download the latest file named
elxdrvr-nic-teaming-<version>.exe to your system.
2. Double click the elxdrvr-nic-teaming-<version>.exe and follow the prompts.
3. Reboot when prompted to do so.
