You can run remote service pack installations from the command line by using the .xml file that was created when you saved the installation in a script. The .xml file contains the selections you made during the installation.
Saving the remote installation in a script is useful in the following scenarios:
-
You want to run the installation at a later time.
-
You want to save your installation selections if you plan to reuse the script to install the service pack on the same clients.
-
You might have a batch script with a set of administrative tasks, and you want to define the installation task in the batch script (by calling the .xml).
Before You Begin
You must have saved the installation as a script. For more information, see Installing the Service Pack Remotely Using the CommCell Console.
Procedure
-
Log on to the computer where you saved the script.
-
At the command line, go to the Installation_Directory_Path/Base directory and then run the following command to log on to the CommServe database:
qlogin -cs commserve_host_name -u user_name
-
To run the script (.xml file), type the following command:
qoperation execute -af Path_to_XML_File
-
To log off of the CommServe database, type the following command:
qlogout
