Specify the directory in which a backup is to be saved for when remote installation fails.

Options

Displays the Options dialog box that enables you to change the drive of the work directory for installing Hitachi program products (NETMDMWK directory). However, for overwrite installation, you cannot change the drive on which the directory is created.

Figure 3-24 Options dialog box

Under Drive to create the work directory used for installing the Hitachi program product, select the drive in which the directory is to be created. Do not specify the network drive. If the network drive is specified, operations cannot be guaranteed.

You can choose whether to delete the directory after a Hitachi program product has been installed. To delete the directory, choose Delete the created work directory after the Hitachi program product is installed. You should note the following precautions about choosing this option:

• In Windows NT, you must have the appropriate permissions to read, write, and delete the created drive in order to select the Delete the created work directory after the Hitachi program product is installed check box. If these permissions have not been granted, installation of a Hitachi program product will fail.
• Even though Delete the created work directory after the Hitachi program product is installed has been selected, the NETMDMWK directory may remain after installation. In such a case, the directory will be deleted when the PC is restarted or during polling.

(d) Specifying multiple higher systems

In the Specify Multiple Higher Systems dialog box, specify information about polling multiple higher systems and automatic selection of connection destination by transmission of execution requests.

Figure 3-25 Specify Multiple Higher Systems dialog box
