Install Guide

Customization Parameters

REINSTALL and REMOVE customization CLI parameters provide a way to customize the exact software features to install,

reinstall, or uninstall when running a silent or unattended installation. With the customization parameters, you selectively install,

reinstall, or uninstall software features for different systems using the same unattended installation package. For example, you can

choose to install Server Administrator, but not Remote Access Controller service on a specific group of servers, and choose to

install Server Administrator, but not Storage Management Service, on another group of servers. You can also choose to uninstall

one or multiple features on a specific group of servers.

NOTE: Type the REINSTALL, and REMOVE CLI parameters in upper case, as they are case‑sensitive.

You can include the REINSTALL customization parameter on the command line and assign the feature ID (IDs) of the software

feature that you want to reinstall. For example, msiexec.exe /i SysMgmt.msi REINSTALL=BRCM /qb

This command runs the installation for Systems Management and reinstalls only the Broadcom agent, in an unattended but not

silent mode.

You can include the REMOVE customization parameter on the command line and assign the feature ID (IDs) of the software

feature that you want to uninstall. For example, msiexec.exe /i SysMgmt.msi REMOVE=BRCM /qb

This command runs the installation for Systems Management and uninstalls only the Broadcom agent, in an unattended but not

silent mode.

You can also choose to install, reinstall, and uninstall features with one execution of the msiexec.exe program. For example,

msiexec.exe /i SysMgmt.msi REMOVE=BRCM /qb

This command runs the installation for managed system software, and uninstalls the Broadcom agent. This execution is in an

unattended but not silent mode.

The following table provides the list of feature IDs for each software feature.

NOTE: The software feature IDs mentioned in the table are case-sensitive.
