Deploying Integrity Support Packs in Microsoft Windows
Deploying an ISP
To deploy an ISP stored in a centralized, network-based software repository from a command
line prompt on a single-target system:
1. Be sure that all requirements are fulfilled as listed in the section “Minimum
Requirements for Windows Servers.”
2. Be sure that the software repository can be accessed by the administrative system.
3. Map a drive letter to the network-based software repository that contains the ISP files.
4. Preconfigure components using the RDU (SETUP.EXE). For more information, refer to
the “Component Preconfiguration” section in this chapter.
5. Launch a command line prompt on the administrative system, and change to the
subdirectory containing the Remote Deployment Console Utility.
6. Launch the Remote Deployment Console Utility. For more information, refer
to “Command Line Examples” in the “Remote Deployment Console Utility for
Microsoft Windows” section in this chapter.
NOTE: Command line help for the utility is accessible by running the file SETUPC.EXE from
the command line. A screen displays all possible parameters that the utility accepts.
7. Deploy the specified ISP file on the target system by pressing the Enter key.
When the utility deploys an ISP or individual components to the target system, each
component writes installation information to the file CPQSETUP.LOG on the target system.
Be sure that the target system is accessible over the network connection and that all files that
make up an ISP are present in the same directory. If the target system is not accessible over
the network connection, one of the following error messages might appear:
•
Unable to connect to the target computer. All available connection methods were
attempted with no success. A possible reason is that the operating system of the target
computer is not supported.
•
Access to the target computer was denied, possibly due to incorrect authentication
information or permissions.
•
The target computer could not be found. Please check the spelling of the computer name
or the network connection and try again.
If installation errors occur, the command line window might display an error message
followed by a list of components and the errors that occurred.
IMPORTANT: You can stop a command line deployment on a local server at any time by pressing
the Ctrl+C keys.
When the deployment process ends, control is returned to the command line prompt to run
the Remote Deployment Console Utility on the next target server that must be deployed.
TIP: You can view the centralized installation log file on the remote target system by connecting to the
remote target system over the network with Windows Explorer and opening the CPQSETUP.LOG file.
You can also view the file in a command prompt window on the administrative system by using the
TYPE or MORE commands, followed by the network path and name of the remote installation log file.
