The installation process doesn't take much time. All you need is to

Install package supports few command line switches:
| eb.exe | Install Storage Manager |
| eb.exe /a:blind_conf_file | Install Storage Manager without user intervention |
| eb.exe /remove | Uninstall Storage Manager |
| eb.exe /removeblind | Uninstall Storage Manager without user intervention |
The install package supports a blind mode (without user interaction)
but you have to define some parameters. All of them must be defined in a special file. Usually we call
it blind.cfg, but the name doesn't matter. To install Storage Manager
in the blind mode, run the install package with the command line:
/a:path_to_blind_file
The file has a simple format:
- Command lines have format: name=value. See description at the table below.
- Empty lines and lines with the first # character will be ignored.
