729
Note: ForceDriverUpdate applies to unattended installations only; in interactive
installations this parameter is ignored. Instead you are asked if the driver
should be updated.
ForceRegUpdate (Forcing an Update of an Existing Driver
Parameter Value)
Default: False
The ForceRegUpdate driver parameter setting determines whether existing driver
parameters are retained or changed when you update the driver. By default, all existing
driver parameter settings are retained. The ForceRegUpdate parameter does not affect
any existing persistent bindings. To set up an installation to remove the existing driver
parameters from the registry and replace them with parameters specified in the
AutoPilot Configuration file, set this parameter to true.
Note: You can use this setting for attended installations with the AutoPilot Installer
wizard if you modify the AutoPilot Configuration file in an AutoPilot Installer
Kit.
LocalDriverLocation (Specifying Location to Search for Drivers)
Default: Drivers (The default “Drivers” folder is located in the same folder as AutoPilot
Installer.)
You can specify a local location that is to be searched for drivers during unattended
installations. The location may be a local hard drive or a network share. Removable
media are not searched.
Example:
LocalDriverLocation = "d:\drivers\new\Storport"
Note: On x64 and 32-bit systems, the path specified by 'LocalDriverLocation' must
contain at least one instance of an FC, FCoE, iSCSI, and NIC driver. AutoPilot
Installer automatically selects the most recent revisions that it finds.
NoSoftwareFirstInstalls (Prohibiting Software First Installations)
Default: False
When this parameter is set to true, AutoPilot Installer prevents unattended installations
from performing software-first installations. This way you can execute an automated
installation on multiple machines in your network, but only machines with Emulex
adapters actually have Emulex drivers updated or installed.
If this parameter is omitted from the configuration file or explicitly set to true, the page
is not displayed. AutoPilot Installer uses configuration file parameters to determine the
appropriate management mode.
