Installing a Collector Silently
Before you begin
Note: Installing a collector can potentially remove a collector that is already installed. For example, if you already installed the OSI PI Collector and then run the silent install for the Server 2 Server Collector, the OSI PI Collector can be uninstalled. If you are installing a new collector on a machine where there is an existing collector that you want to retain, you must use command line parameters for the existing collector as well.
