AutoPilot Installer
AutoPilot Installer runs after the driver kit is loaded and the OneCommand Manager
application is installed. AutoPilot Installer can be installed:

Immediately after the driver kit has been loaded

At a later time using an interactive installation

Through an unattended installation
AutoPilot Installer provides:

Command line functionality – Initiates an installation from a command prompt
or script. Configuration settings can be specified in the command line.

Compatibility verification – Verifies that the driver to be installed is compatible
with the operating system and platform.

Driver installation and update – Installs and updates drivers.

Multiple adapter installation capability – Installs drivers on multiple adapters,
alleviating the need to manually install the same driver on all adapters in the
system.

Driver diagnostics – Determines whether the driver is operating properly.

Silent installation mode – Suppresses all screen output (necessary for
unattended installation).
Note: AutoPilot Installer does not allow you to install the driver if the minimum
Windows service pack or Microsoft Storport driver update is not installed.
You can install the driver by any of the following methods:
Note: These installation methods are not mutually exclusive.

Hardware-first installation. At least one Emulex adapter must be installed
before you can install the Emulex drivers and utilities.

Software-first installation. You can install drivers and utilities using AutoPilot
Installer prior to the installation of any adapters. You do not need to specify the
adapter models to be installed later. The appropriate drivers and utilities
automatically load when you install the adapters.
