You should install SnapCenter Plug-in for Microsoft SQL Server from within the SnapCenter user interface. However, if you cannot for some reason, you can run the Plug-in for SQL Server installation program unattended in silent mode from the Windows command line.
Procedure
-
Validate whether C:\temp folder exists on the plug-in host and the logged in user has full access to it.
- Download the Plug-in for SQL Server software from C:\ProgramData\NetApp\SnapCenter\Package Repository.
This path is accessible from the host where the SnapCenter Server is installed.
- Copy the installation file to the host on which you want to install the plug-in.
-
From a Windows command prompt on the local host, navigate to the directory to which you saved the plug-in installation files.
-
Install the Plug-in for SQL Server software: "snapcenter_windows_host_plugin.exe"/silent /debuglog"Debug_Log_Path" /log"Log_Path" BI_SNAPCENTER_PORT=Num SUITE_INSTALLDIR="Install_Directory_Path" BI_SERVICEACCOUNT=domain\administrator BI_SERVICEPWD=password ISFeatureInstall=SCW,SCSQL
Replace the placeholder values with your data
- Debug_Log_Path is the name and location of the suite installer log file.
- Log_Path is the location of the installation logs of the plug-in components (SCW, SCSQL, and SMCore).
- Num is the port on which SnapCenter communicates with SMCore
- Install_Directory_Path is
the host plug-in package installation directory.
- domain\administrator is the SnapCenter Plug-in for Microsoft Windows web service
account.
- password is the password for
the SnapCenter Plug-in for Microsoft Windows web service account.
"snapcenter_windows_host_plugin.exe"/silent /debuglog"C:\HPPW_SCSQL_Install.log" /log"C:\" BI_SNAPCENTER_PORT=8145 SUITE_INSTALLDIR="C:\Program Files\NetApp\SnapCenter" BI_SERVICEACCOUNT=domain\administrator BI_SERVICEPWD=password ISFeatureInstall=SCW,SCSQL
Note: All the parameters
passed during the installation of Plug-in for SQL Server are case sensitive.
- Optional:
Monitor the Windows task scheduler, the main installation log file C:\Installdebug.log, and the additional installation files in C:\Temp.
- Optional:
Monitor the %temp% directory to verify that the msiexe.exe installers are installing the software without errors.
Note: The installation of Plug-in for SQL Server registers the
plug-in on the host and not on the SnapCenter Server. You can register the plug-in on theSnapCenter Server by adding the host
using the SnapCenter GUI or PowerShell cmdlet.
After the host is added, the plug-in is automatically discovered.
