To install the exporter using the response file:
- Run the silentinstall.cmd installer script with the response file as an argument.
Silentinstall.cmd <responsefile>
The installer displays the End User License Agreement (EULA).
In case you are reinstalling the exporter, the installer asks permission to overwrite the previously installed files on your system.
- Accept the EULA and continue with the installation.
The exporter is installed according to the configuration of the response file.
The NetBackup IT Analytics Exporter is always installed at C:\Program Files\Veritas\ITAnalytics and the logs are saved to C:\ProgramData\Veritas\NetBackup IT Analytics\Exporters\installer_logs directory.
