Once your response file is ready, you can proceed with the installation.

To install the exporter using the response file:

  1. 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.

  2. 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.
