Help with Veeam 10 unattended installation

Post by Leo0601 »

Hi Experts,

Case # 04824481

We are from Philips R&D team, We are doing automation of veeam 10 installation through powershell.

Scenario: Uninstalling existing veeam 9.5 update 4 and need to install Veeam 10 through powershell.

Detailed Description:

During the installation of Veeam 10 through PowerShell, I am getting 3 popups. 2 Pop ups related to Database. If we have to use the existing database then we need to press "YES" button to further, Another one is related to veeam virtual lab since its already configured. We have to enter manually ''OK" then only its allow us to install. I am not able to pass any parameter to automate it. Because not sure exactly which place I need to pass the parameter. Expert's I need your help to passing parameter and fix this issue. It block our automation. We are struck and not able to proceed further to complete our automation. Kindly help us to fix this issue. I have attached the script below. You can have a look, It helps to fix the issue soon. I am looking forward to hear from you.

Thanks in Advance.

Regards
Leo

You should probably review the V10 upgrade script here:

Hi Leo,

I split your post from the original topic as it was related solely to the powershell module migration and installation.

Agree with Tom, VeeamHub abounds with treasures in general. There is even the script for unattended upgrade from VBR v9.5b to v10.

As for the function you posted, at first glance, your issue might be related to the fact that VBR Server installation part (Server.x64.msi) is missing /qn parameter, which prevents user interaction.

Thanks,
Oleg

Hi Oleg,

Thanks much. I will try and let you know.

W.r.t unattended upgrade for me its not working. I have used that same veeam upgrade script from the mentioned link (powershell-f26/automated-upgrade-from-9 ... 65286.html). I have already replied you can see. Developer of the script ask me raise a case with veeam support.

Already raised a case with Veeam but no luck. So that's why I am manually taking veeam configuration back, then Uninstalling veeam 9.5, then Installing veeam 10 through powershell script and restoring the configuration backup.

Regards
leo.

Hi Oleg,

In the script I have added /qn parameter in Server.x64.msi line to avoid the user interaction while during VBR Server installation .

It leads to another issue. I was getting another "Windows Installer" pop which explains all the usage of parameters (Eg: /i Installing product, /x Uninstalling product like that explains all the parameter). If I click OK it move to the next block and skip installing the VBR.

Can you please help me here.

Regards
Leo

I wrote a complete unattended installation script for v10, rather than only focusing on an upgrade.

You can find the code for it on VeeamHub as well (here), and it should have the switches that you are looking for with the MSI installers.

Hi Joe (jhoughes),

Great to hear. Thanks much.

Let me check it right away.

I have one query below script should I use. I am able to see 4 scripts are there.

Adding v10 Unattended Install script.ps1
Install_Veeam.ps1
VeeamConfigVariables.ps1
VeeamInstallFunctions.ps1

Looking for forward to hear from you.

Regards
Leo.

Hi Leo,

I see only 3 scripts there. I'd recommend checking script instructions wrapped in <# #> at the very beginning of Install_Veeam.ps1.
Also, you would need all those files. Install_Veeam.ps1 depends on other two.

Thanks,
Oleg

Yes, since you are running your own installation script, I was only suggesting to check the usage of the MSI installers within the Install_Veeam.ps1 script file.

Hi Joe,
Your script is fantastic. Its very useful for everyone. Thanks much.

Hi Oleg,
Thanks very much for reply. To be frank I am clueless since i am beginner in scripting. I have tried everything from Joe's script still I am getting those pop-ups. I don't know which switch and where exactly I need to add in my script avoid the manual interaction.

I have added the switch in-front of VBR Server.x64.msi. Can you please someone tell me where I need to add in my script
Regards
Leo.

You need to remove the '/passive' switch in your MSI arguments, and switch it to '/qn'.

Otherwise, check each of your here-strings for MSI arguments against what we have documented for each installer:

Glad you got it sorted, I missed it earlier myself when scrolling through the code.
