In the past few months I have had to install Compaq Insight Manager (or Server Insight Manager depending on who you ask) more times than I care to count. During this process I found that the silent install process was less than straight forward and frequently failed or hung for no apparent reason. So I decided to whip up a script to install it and share it with all of you.
Please note that this stops the SNMP service during the install but shouldn't have any other real adverse effects except for one notable one. The CIM install stops Microsoft Cluster Server service to install hooks to monitor it and does not restart it afterward. So please don't install this on any production cluster nodes.
The install may say it requires a reboot but I have not found this to be a necessary step 99% of the time. This may be different for you.
You'll need to download the following executables from their respective locations:
cp004188.exe - This is the CIM 7.1 install package.
setupc.exe - This is the silent installer for HP packages. I use 3.0.7.0 but there are newer versions out. I haven't tested these.
setupcor.dll - A dll for the HP silent installer setupc.exe This will be part of the package linked above.
ntrights.exe - This is a Microsoft executable. It can be obtained from the
Windows Resource Kit.
pskill.exe - You can get this from
Sysinternals.com.
And then the following files created by me;
Here is the content of the installer batch file:

CD %systemdrive%\ciminstall

ntrights +r SeDebugPrivilege -u Administrators

Copy the following to a file named "silentsucceed.reg" and then put it in the same directory as the batch file and the rest of the executables. The batch file looks for all the files to be in the same location: "c:\ciminstall". Feel free to edit this in the batch file. There is no dependency on this directory specifically.
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Non-Driver Signing]
"Policy"=hex:00 |
WARNING: The CIM install will stop the Microsoft Cluster Server service. So don't install this on any live production cluster nodes.
Hope someone finds this useful! Also note that this should work just fine for 7.3 and other upcoming versions of CIM/SIM. Just edit the name of the install package within the installer batch file.
