Installing CMSs or Gateways

When installing CMSs or gateways from a command line, you must reference the source image for CMSs and gateways that ships with CA DLP. To deploy multiple CMSs or gateways, you need to copy this source image to each target server. You can then install the CMSs or gateways automatically using a script based on standard command line options for Msiexec.exe, plus various proprietary variables unique to CA DLP.

Note: These instructions also apply to utility machines.

The basic syntax for an installation is:

msiexec /i <Path>\server.msi

Where server.msi is the CA DLP source image and <Path> points to the location of this image.

However, you need to supplement this basic syntax with parameters to configure the installation folder, server type, the primary administrator account, details about the database engine, and so on. These are discussed in the next section.

Note: Unlike command line deployment of client machines, there is no need to perform an administrative installation of the CA DLP source image for servers. Instead, you can directly reference the server source image that ships with CA DLP.
