Overview
This chapter discusses the unattended installation process used to implement vCenter Server Heartbeat on
Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2008. The installation process for all scenarios follows the same
basic procedure.
Prior to installing vCenter Server Heartbeat, you must prepare the configuration parameters file used during
the unattended installation to achieve your configuration goals.
Installation Process
Setup should only be run after verifying that the server (virtual or physical) has met all of the prerequisites
listed in “Common Requirements” on page 20.
Unattended installation of vCenter Server Heartbeat requires use of command line options and a
configuration parameters file. The configuration parameters file must be created prior to running the
unattended installation to provide the configuration parameters for Setup.
Unattended Installation Command Line Usage
To perform an unattended Setup, you must run the start /wait Setup command with the appropriate
parameters from the command line. Additionally, you must create a .txt file (parameter file) that contains
the information necessary to provide the intended options to the Setup application. The following information
provides details about the parameters and parameter file necessary to successfully perform an unattended
Setup.
