I am scripting a silent installation of Storage Foundation for Windows using the command line as described in the installation guide: SFWHA_InstallUpgrade.pdf. What is the installation command line switch to replace the Disk Managment Snap-in with the SFW VEA GUI?
This is not listed in the installation guide.

Hi Paul,
As you found, this option is in the Installation and Upgrade Guide. For 5.1 SP2, the URL is http://www.symantec.com/docs/DOC3316. The option is DISKMGMT.
Below are some examples of silent / CLI based installations using setup.exe which include the DISKMGMT option to replace the Disk Management Snap-in with the VEA. Some important items to note:
Silent installation example: SFW client
This sample command installs the SFW Client and states that the installation path is C:\InstallationDirectory. This sample command also tells the system not to reboot at the end of the installation.
Setup.exe /s INSTALL_MODE=1 SOLUTIONS=3 INSTALLDIR="C:\InstallationDirectory" REBOOT=0
Silent installation example: SFW server
This sample command installs the SFW Server with a license key of 123-234-123-234-345, with the MSCS and VVR options, and with their license keys. This sample command also states that the installation path is C:\InstallationDirectory and tells the system to reboot at the end of the installation.
Setup.exe /s INSTALL_MODE=1 SOLUTIONS=1 LICENSEKEY="123-234-123-234-345,321-543-765-789-321,321-543-765-789-789" OPTIONS="MSCS,VVR,DISKMGMT" INSTALLDIR="C:\InstallationDirectory" REBOOT=1
Silent installation example: remote installation of an SFW server
This sample command installs the SFW Server with a license key of 123-234-123-234-345, with the MSCS and VVR options, and with their license keys. This sample command also states that the installation path on that computer is C:\InstallationDirectory, that the node it is installing to is SysA, and tells the system to reboot at the end of the installation.
Setup.exe /s INSTALL_MODE=1 SOLUTIONS=1 LICENSEKEY="23-234-123-234-345,321-543-765-789-321,321-543-765-789-789"
OPTIONS="MSCS,VVR,SYMCCERT,DISKMGMT" INSTALLDIR="C:\InstallationDirectory" NODE="SysA" REBOOT=1
