+4Is there a way we can perform silent install (without any human intervention) for the Maintenance release) as we already have our main package already installed and we need it for few of the Linux servers due to bug in password encryption in cassandra.

I did a quick check on one of my VMs.
/exportfs/cvinstaller/11.22/linux-x8664/LooseUpdates
# ./InstallUpdates --help
Using instance installer /opt/commvault/installer/newinstall:v1186989
usage: install [-h] [--instance INSTANCE] [-Local] [-autoupdate] [-silent]
[-vm VM] [-rmvInterSectingDiag] [-restartMacFinder]
Welcome to Unix update installer
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--instance INSTANCE dummy arg
-Local dummy arg
-autoupdate Auto apply updates
-silent apply updates silently
-vm VM This argument is specified in case of push/ silent
removal of updates, for specifying the Instance being
updated
-rmvInterSectingDiag This argument is specified in case of push/ silent
removal of updates, to remove intersecting diag
updates in case there are any
-restartMacFinder This argument is specified in case of push/ silent
removal of updates, to restart Mac Finder plugin
# ./InstallUpdates -silent
+2Hello
Once the software cache has been populated with the correct release and it is valid,commvault has also an automatic update schedule and you can modify that job according to your needs

This is the way

+4Thanks for quick response
I am aware of pushing the update from the commcell console (software cache). The reason we are looking for silent install is commvault installation is automated and does not require any human intervention for us. whenever we deploy the EC2 it gets installed as part of the userdata script. We are trying the same think for MR.
what I am looking for a simple command to update the MR silently something like this silent_install -p
not sure why we dont have silent_install for MR

Generally, since the software is deployed on the client, you can simply remotely manage the update packages. If you prefer you can bundle the updates with a customized installer package, but that does mean updating your custom installer each time.
Is there a reason why you can’t simply push updates once the machine is installed? The use case is not clear.
So, if your package state is extracted it’s a simple case for Windows of setup.exe /installupdates /silent
Let us know of the specific OS and package state as I’m sure there is more to the scenario that I've simply glazed over.

In this case its linux

Requirement is only for 80 Servers (in cassandra cluster) to upgrade to 11.20.32
+7I did this for one of our customers. The software is mounted of NFS to the client in question an a wrapper script calls silent_install -p <path to xml file>.
I like this type of approach because an update of the software to the most recent feature release is easy and no customer install packages have to be created. This procedure was is used to deploy Linux/Unix FS and various database agents and can be combined with starting an install updates job after the silent_install finishes. However the procedure is currently not fully documented from my end to be published to the Commvault Community.

let me know how do we do silent install for it
+4also not sure how the questions has been marked as solved .. which I am not completely convinced with solution
