Overview

...

A silent installation allows you to complete V-Ray installation without user input during the process using a predefined set of options. To set up a silent installation, you need to perform two steps: creating an .xml file and running the installer.

AUTO_DISCOVERY	When set to 1 V-Ray Swarm will try to discover other nodes automatically. When set to 0 the DISCOVERY_MASTERCOORDINATOR variable should be set to the IP of the machine where the master node Coordinator will run. Defaults to 1
DISCOVERY_MASTERCOORDINATOR	Specifies The IP address of the machine which will be used as a master node coordinator (required if AUTO_DISCOVERY is set to 0)
DISCOVERY_ALTERNATE_MASTERCOORDINATOR_1	Specifies the IP address of a machine, which will be used as a fallback master node coordinator if the primary master coordinator is not available (optional).
DISCOERY_ALTERNATE_MASTERCOORDINATOR_2	Specifies the IP address of the second fallback master nodecoordinator. (optional)
INITIAL_CONFIGURATION_PATH	Specifies the absolute path to a swarm-config.json file to be used as the initial configuration for the new Swarm installation. This allows discovery settings, tags, environment variables, V-Ray settings and other config options to be configured at installation time. See the example file below.
SWARM_PORT	Specifies the port on which the Swarm nodes communicate. Defaults to 24267
TTL_DEFAULT_VALUE	Specifies the Multicast TTL value used when AUTO_DISCOVERY is turned on. Defaults to 1 (same subnet)

vray.port	The network port on which the V-Ray standalone should listen for a request. Equivalent to the portNumber command-line option. Defaults to 20208
vray.numberOfThreads	The number of threads that V-Ray Standalone should use. When set to 0 V-Ray will use the number of threads equal to the number of logical processors. Defaults to 0
vray.overrideLicense	If set to false the system-wide vrlclient.xml file will be used for license information. If set to true the licenseServer entry will be used to generate vrlclient.xml file for V-Ray Standalone to use. Defaults to false
vray.envVars	The entries listed here are environment variables that will be set for V-Ray Standalone when it starts.
licenseServer	The entries listed here are the same as the ones in vrlclient.xml. Note the everything is in lower case and the port numbers are not surrounded by quotes.
tags	A list of tags for the Swarm instance. This list should not be empty. Each tag should be surrounded with quotes.
discover.autoDiscover	If set to true the Swarm instance will try to discover other instances in the network automatically. If set to false then a list of masterNodes coordinators should be provided. Defaults to true
discover.masterNodescoordinators	A list of IPs of machines where Swarm master nodes coordinators run. This list should not be empty if discover.autoDiscover is set to false.

Silent uninstallation

...

You can use a command to perform a silent uninstall. In order to do that you need to know the full path of the folder containing V-Ray additional files and the exact name of the product, you want to uninstall. Then you can execute the following command:

Code Block
"<STDROOT>\uninstall\installer.exe" -uninstall="<STDROOT>\uninstall\install.log" -uninstallApp="<PRODUCT_NAME>" -gui=0 -quiet=1

...

where <STDROOT> is the destination folder and <PRODUCT_NAME> is the product name i.e. “V-Ray Swarm”

For example, the following command will uninstall V-RaySwarm:

Code Blocknoformat
"C:\Program Files\Chaos Group\V-Ray Swarm\uninstall\installer.exe" -uninstall="C:\Program Files\Chaos Group\V-Ray Swarm\uninstall\\install.log" -uninstallApp="V-Ray Swarm" -gui=0 -quiet=1
