Executing a silent upgrade

To launch the silent upgrade, you use the same command for all platform components. The options file controls which component is upgraded and its properties.

You execute silent upgrades from the command line and you are not prompted for input. On Red Hat Linux or Oracle Solaris operating systems, you can output debug logging to the console window by exporting LAX_DEBUG=true.

To execute a silent upgrade

1. Navigate to the directory that contains the silent installation program.

2. From the command line, execute one of the following commands to start the silent installation program.
   When you specify the options file name, specify the full path to the options file, not a path that is relative to the installation program.
   Type the command carefully. If you type the command incorrectly, you might invoke an installation mode that is unsupported.

   Platform	Command
   Server components	See Performing the installation for the component installation program names. In the following component command lines, replace installCommand with the installation program name.
   Linux	sh ./installCommand -i silent -DOPTIONS_FILE=fullPathToOptionsFile/optionsFile
   Solaris	sh ./installCommand -i silent -DOPTIONS_FILE=fullPathToOptionsFile/optionsFile
   Windows	pathToInstaller\installCommand -i silent -DOPTIONS_FILE=fullPathToOptionsFile\optionsFile
   BMC Atrium Orchestrator Development Studio
   Windows	pathToInstaller\setup.cmd -i silent -DOPTIONS_FILE=fullPathToOptionsFile\optionsFile
   Content
   Linux	sh ./setup.sh -i silent -DOPTIONS_FILE=fullPathToOptionsFile/optionsFile
   Solaris	sh ./setup.sh -i silent -DOPTIONS_FILE=fullPathToOptionsFile/optionsFile
   Windows	pathToInstaller\setup.cmd -i silent -DOPTIONS_FILE=fullPathToOptionsFile\optionsFile

   The installer executes without prompts.

3. As necessary for your environment, execute the silent installation on other computers until you have upgraded or installed all of the platform components.

Upgrade videos

The following BMC Communities video series demonstrates how to upgrade a basic setup of BMC Atrium Orchestrator Platform 7.6.03 to 7.8.01 and upgrading Content on Windows.
