How to: Install SQL Server 2008 from the Command Prompt

Before you run SQL Server Setup, review Planning a SQL Server Installation.

Installing a new instance of SQL Server at the command prompt enables you to specify the features to install and how they should be configured. You can also specify silent, basic, or full interaction with the Setup user interface.

Note

When installing through the command prompt, SQL Server supports full quiet mode by using the /Q parameter or Quiet Simple mode by using the /QS parameter. The /QS switch only shows progress, does not accept any input, and displays no error messages if encountered. The /QS parameter is only supported when /Action=install is specified.

Command prompt installation is supported in the following scenarios:

  • Installing, upgrading, or removing an instance and shared components of SQL Server 2008 on a local computer by using syntax and parameters specified at the command prompt.

  • Installing, upgrading, or removing a failover cluster instance.

  • Upgrading from one SQL Server 2008 edition to another edition of SQL Server 2008.

  • Installing an instance of SQL Server 2008 on a local computer by using syntax and parameters specified in a configuration file. You can use this method to copy an installation configuration to multiple computers, or to install multiple nodes of a failover cluster installation.

When you install SQL Server at the command prompt, specify Setup parameters for your installation at the command prompt as part of your installation syntax.

Note

For local installations, you must run Setup as an administrator. If you install SQL Server from a remote share, you must use a domain account that has read and execute permissions on the remote share. For failover cluster installations, you must be a local administrator with permissions to login as a service, and to act as part of the operating system on all failover cluster nodes.

Proper Use of Setup Parameters

Use the following guidelines to develop installation commands that have correct syntax:

  • /PARAMETER

  • /PARAMETER=true/false

  • /PARAMETER=1/0 for Boolean types

  • /PARAMETER="value" for all single-value parameters. Using double quotation marks is recommended, but required if the value contains a space

    Note

    /PID, the value for this parameter should be enclosed in double quotation marks

  • /PARAMETER="value1" "value2" "value3" for all multiple-value parameters. Using double quotation marks is recommended, but required if the value contains a space

Exceptions:

  • /FEATURES, which is a multivalued parameter, but its format is /FEATURES=AS,RS,IS without a space, comma-delimited

See the following examples to specify the installation directory paths:

  • /INSTANCEDIR=c:\Path is supported.

  • /INSTANCEDIR=”c:\Path” is supported

Note

The relational server values support the additional terminating backslash formats (backslash or two backslash characters) for the path.

Instance ID or InstanceID Configuration

The Instance ID or /InstanceID parameter is used for specifying where you can install the instance components and the registry path of the instance. The value of “INSTANCEID” is a string and should be unique.

  • SQL Instance ID:MSSQL10.<INSTANCEID>

  • AS Instance ID:MSAS10.<INSTANCEID>

  • RS Instance ID:MSRS10.<INSTANCEID>

The instance-aware components are installed to the following locations:

%Program Files%\Microsoft SQL Server\<SQLInstanceID>

%Program Files%\Microsoft SQL Server\<ASInstanceID>

%Program Files%\Microsoft SQL Server\<RSInstanceID>

Note

If INSTANCEID is not specified on the command line, then by default Setup substitute <INSTANCEID> with the <INSTANCENAME>.

Controlling Failover Behavior using the /FAILOVERCLUSTERROLLOWNERSHIP Parameter

To upgrade a SQL Server failover cluster to SQL Server 2008, you must run the Setup on one failover cluster node at a time, starting with the passive nodes. Setup determines when to fail over to the upgraded node, depending on the total number of nodes in the failover cluster instance, and the number of nodes that have already been upgraded. When half of the nodes or more have already been upgraded, Setup by default will cause a failover to an upgraded node.

To control the failover behavior of cluster nodes during the upgrade process, run the upgrade operation at the command prompt and use the /FAILOVERCLUSTERROLLOWNERSHIP parameter to control the failover behavior before the upgrade operation takes the node offline. Use of this parameter is as follows:

  • /FAILOVERCLUSTERROLLOWNERSHIP=0 will not roll cluster ownership (move group) to upgraded nodes, and does not add this node to the list of possible owners of the SQL Server cluster at the end of upgrade.

  • /FAILOVERCLUSTERROLLOWNERSHIP=1 will roll cluster ownership (move group) to upgraded nodes, and will add this node to the list of possible owners of the SQL Server cluster at the end of upgrade.

  • /FAILOVERCLUSTERROLLOWNERSHIP=2 is the default setting. It will be used if this parameter is not specified. This setting indicates that SQL Server Setup will manage cluster ownership (move group) as needed.
