Note: This feature works only if the following criteria are observed:
l The initial installation of the server software must be done from a network folder using the
setup.exe (provided with Ixia installer package).
The network folder cannot be a mapped drive; it must be a UNC path.
l
The IxOSUpdateTemplate.bat file must also be in the network folder.
l The server installation folder must be accessible to both the workstation that the IxExplorer
client computer is installed on, and the chassis that IxServer is installed on.
l The path to the network folder must be the same folder path for both computers.
l In some instances, the anti-virus software prevents proper updating of the IxOS software.
Disable anti-virus software before using the Auto-Update feature.
IxOS Silent Install
IxOS Silent Install is a feature which enables you to install IxOS software unattended. A silent
installation of IxOS is ideal for test scenarios or as part of a large-scale enterprise deployment.
You may use the IxAdmin package to perform remote silent installations on multiple computers at the
same time.
If you want to use Silent Installation to install IxOS software on an Ixia chassis, you must change the
policy that controls Silent Installation. See Preparing an Ixia Chassis for Silent Installation.
IxOS product silent install setup is discussed inIxOS Silent Install by .exe Package.
IxOS silent install setup for LINUX is discussed in IxOS Silent Install on LINUX.
