You can perform an automated or unattended installation using the command line interface at the command prompt with the Setup.exe command. With an unattended installation, you can only install on one system at a time.

During the installation, ensure that you verify the following points:

There are no parallel installations, live updates, or Microsoft Windows updates in progress.
A third-party DSM is not installed for the array you want to use.

DMP DSM is not used together with a third-party DSM for the same array. Only one DSM at a time can claim the LUNs in an array. According to Microsoft Multipath I/O (MPIO) documentation, if multiple DSMs are installed, the Microsoft MPIO framework contacts each DSM to determine which is appropriate to handle a device. There is no particular order in which the MPIO framework contacts the DSMs. The first DSM to claim ownership of the device is associated with that device. Other DSMs cannot claim an already claimed device. Therefore, to ensure that the DMP DSM claims the LUNs of an array, no other DSM should be installed for that same array.
All CLI commands must run in the command window in the "run as administrator" mode.

To perform an automated installation

If you are installing the package from the software disc, insert the product software disc into your system's drive.
Log into a console session.
Open a command window by clicking Start > Run.
Enter cmd in the Open field and click OK.
Navigate to the root directory of your software disc.
If you are downloading the installation software from the Symantec web site, then navigate to the download path where the setup.exe is located.
Use the following command syntax to install the product software.
For example,
```
Setup.exe /s SOLUTIONS="1" INSTALL_MODE=InstallMode
Telemetry=Telemetry
[INSTALLDIR="InstallDirPath"] [REBOOT=RebootMode] [NODE="SysA"]
[LICENSEKEY="LicenseKey"] [OPTIONS="a,b,c,..."]
NoOptionDiscovery= NoOptionDiscovery
GetPatchInfo=GetPatchInfo
 
```
Where the maximum length of the argument string is 2,048 characters and the syntax is not case sensitive.

Note:

The "Licensekey" parameter is applicable only if you plan to use the "User entered license key" as your license type. You need not specify this parameter for "Keyless" license type.
