drivers only.
CNA - The operation as specified by INSTALL_OP will be performed for network drivers only.
AUTO - The operation as specified by INSTALL_OP will be performed for the drivers for

•
LOG_FILE_PATH
Specify path to installer log. Quote marks need to enclose the path needs when it contains
a space. You can also specify system environmental variables for the path component. For
example, LOG_FILE_PATH="%ProgramFiles%"\Brocade\Adapter\Driver\util\myinstal.log".
•
FORCED_INSTALL= TRUE
Use this option to force driver installation when the operating system displays messages
such as, “The existing driver on this system is already better than the new one you are
trying to install.”
•
SILENT_INSTALL=TRUE
Use this in automated script environments to avoid displaying any Windows dialog boxes
during installation failure scenarios. In this case, you must analyze the log file to decode
any failures during driver installation, uninstallation, or preinstallation operations.
•
W2K3_HOTFIX, W2K8_HOTFIX=
If INSTALL_OP = INSTALL, use this option to override the installed hot fix with a new hot fix
or to avoid checking for a hot fix.
To specify a new hot fix for override, use the format
“<KBnnnnnn>:<Required|Optional>:<Description>”. For example W2K8_HOTFIX=
“KB9987654:Required:newer_hotfix”.
To avoid checking for hot fix, use the value “”. For example, W2K3_HOTFIX=””.
•
SNMP=TRUE
If management utilities containing SNMP files were installed, this installs the SNMP
subagent, drivers, and other utilities.
•
SNMP_ONLY=TRUE
If management utilities containing SNMP files were installed, this installs the SNMP
subagent only.
After entering options to install the software, a message box may display indicating that the
target (existing) driver is newer than the source (upgrade) driver. Depending on the number of
adapters installed, this message box may display more than once.
NOTE
You can also use the brocade_install.bat command to install the SNMP subagent. For details,
refer to
on page 109 for details.
7. Click Continue Anyway each time the message box displays to continue.
As installation continues, a series of screens may display. The Command Prompt should return
when installation completes.
8. If required by your Windows system, reboot the host. VMware and Solaris require rebooting
after installation.
