Installing or upgrading Storage Mirroring automatically

The Storage Mirroring installation program can accept command-line parameters which allow you to automate the installation
or upgrade process by running an unattended, or silent, installation. The automatic process allows you to pass parameters
through to the installation program instead of entering information manually during the installation or upgrade.

Since the automated process does not prompt for settings, the settings are manually defined in a configuration file called
DTSetup.ini. By default, DTSetup.ini contains two sections. The second section can be duplicated as many times as necessary.
The first section, [Config], applies to any server not defined in the second (or duplicate of second) sections. The second (or
duplicate of second) section, (MachineName], allows you to specify unique settings for individual servers. You have to modify
the heading name (case-sensitive) to identify the server.

Sample DTSetup.ini

In the sample DTSetup file above, the server Alpha would use the parameters defined under the [Alpha] heading. The server
Beta would use the parameters defined under the [Beta] heading. All other servers would use the configuration under the
[Config] section.

Review the following table to understand the different parameters available in DTSetup.ini.
