This is a simplified installation procedure that has been thoroughly tested by our engineers. It meets most customer's needs and can be trusted for installation of vSTREAM Embedded on any Windows Server-based host. The complete and detailed installation guide can be found on MyNetscout. We've installed vSTREAM Embedded with success on both physical and virtual servers. However, vSTREAM Embedded is supported by Netscout on virtual machines only.
Solution
Silent installation
vSTREAM Embedded is available for bot 32 bit and 64 bit Windows Server operating systems.
Copy the latest version of the .exe to c:\temp directory and checksum.
Open a command prompt as Administrator (right-click + Run as administrator)
Execute the following command; be aware that the name of the exe may be different.
c:\temp\is-6110-646-vSTREAM-EMB-x64.exe /s /v/qn /v"INSTALLDIR=C:\NETSCOUT\vSCOUT NSHTTP_PORT=7080 NSHTTPS_PORT=7443 NSCONFIG_SERVER_IP= NSCOMM_PORT=395 NSCONSOLE_PORT=1501 NSCONFIG_MONITOR_PORT=1 NSCONFIG_MGMT_PORT=1"
Be aware that the name of the exe may be different.
This is a silent install. The prompt will return immediately after you clicked <Enter>, but the installer is still running.
The best way to check if the installation has finished, is to open Task Manager and to look for the two background processes associated with vSTEAM Embedded, nsprobe and procmanager.
