Installing
OnCommand Workflow Automation 3.1
Note: Refer to the
“OnCommand Workflow Automation 3.1: Installation and Setup Guide for Windows”
for full instructions.
Logged in as LAB\WFA (note that the instructions do say
log in to Windows using the default local administrator account, but many
organizations will use disable this), you can either install WFA 3.1
interactively by right-clicking the WFA install executable and selecting “Run
as administrator” and answering the prompts -
Image: Starting WFA
3.1 Interactive Installation
- or silent install via the DOS Administrator: Command Prompt (which is the method used here -
partly because it’s much easier to document) as in the example below:
Image: Running WFA
3.1 Silent Installation
WFA-x64-v3.1.0.0.2P2-B3650164.exe
/s /v"WFA_ADMIN_USERNAME=admin WFA_ADMIN_PASSWORD=YourPassword WFA_ADMIN_CONFIRM_PASSWORD=YourPassword
WFA_INSTALL_SITE=lon WFA_INSTALL_ORGANIZATION=lab WFA_HTTP_PORT=80
WFA_HTTPS_PORT=443 WFA_ENABLE_HTTP=1 INSTALLDIR=\"C:\Program
Files\NetApp\WFA\" DATABASEDIR=\"C:\Program
Files\NetApp\WFA\Database\" /qn /l*v install.log"
Note 1: Replace
YourPassword as required.
Note 2: The default
ports 80 and 443 are specified here.
Note 3:
WFA_ENABLE_HTTP was set to 1 above (the default is 0) which allows both HTTP
and HTTPS for external communication.
Note 4: You’ll know
the install is complete when the NetApp WFA Server service starts (see NA_WFA_SRV.exe in Windows Task
Manager), and the install log should say:
MSI
(s) (CC:C4) [14:17:46:786]: Product: OnCommand Workflow Automation -- Installation operation completed
successfully.
