AutoPilot Installer Command Line and Configuration File
Parameters
You can pass command line parameters to the AutoPilot Installer, yet still have it run automatically by the
driver kit, if you run the driver kit installer from a command prompt or script.
If you specify the “/q” switch with the driver kit installer command, the driver kit installer runs in
unattended mode and automatically invokes the APInstall.exe with its “/silent” switch. See the
“Performing an Unattended Driver Installation” on page 7 for more information.
The AParg Driver Kit Parameter and Appending to the APInstall.exe File
If you specify a value for the “APargs” driver kit parameter, this value is appended to the APInstall.exe
command line. For example, if you execute this installer file as:
elxdrv-fc<version>.exe /q APargs=SilentRebootEnable=True
then after installing the AutoPilot Installer, the driver kit automatically executes it as:
APInstall.exe /silent SilentRebootEnable=True
To specify more than one parameter, separate the settings by one or more spaces and put quotes
around the entire APargs expression. For example, the command line (all on one line)
elxdrv-fc<version>.exe "APargs=SilentRebootEnable=True localDriverLocation = "d:\drivers\new\Storport"“
results in the AutoPilot Installer being run as:
APInstall.exe SilentRebootEnable=True localDriverLocation = "d:\drivers\new\Storport"
Parameter values that contain spaces, such as path names, must be enclosed in quotes. To add such a
setting to APargs, you must insert backslashes before the quotes around the value, and then add quotes
around the entire APargs expression. For example, the command line (all on one line)
elxdrv-fc<version>.exe "APargs=ReportLocation=\"C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\reports\""
results in AutoPilot Installer being run as:
APInstall.exe ReportLocation="C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\reports"
If you have many parameters to pass to the AutoPilot Installer, or if you want to do so repeatedly, then it
may be less error prone to run the utility kit installer interactively, delay AutoPilot Installer execution, and
then run the AutoPilot Installer command yourself. The procedure for doing so is described in “Option 2:
Run AutoPilot Installer Separately” on page 4 and “Performing an Unattended Driver Installation” on
page 7.
You can specify a non-default directory for the driver kit by specifying an 'installation folder' on the
command line. For example:
elxdrv-fc<version>.exe install:"C:\Emulex"
This option can be used in conjunction with the 'APArgs' directive.
