Installing BMC Atrium Core in silent mode

When installing BMC Atrium Core in a server group environment using the silent mode, install BMC Atrium CMDB first on the primary server and then on the secondary server.

Before you begin

An example AtriumCore-ini-template.txt file contains all of the options that you can use for silent installation. You can find the AtriumCore-ini-template.txt file in the <AtriumInstallerDirectory>\Disk1\utility folder.

To run the installer in silent mode

1. Using the worksheets in Completing the installation spreadsheet as a guide, edit the options in the AtriumCore-ini-template.txt file, ensuring that you include the appropriate -P, -J, or -A option:

   Option	Description
   -P	Sets the installation directory for a product.
   -A	Specifies the products and features that you want to install. The product and feature names are listed at the top of the AtriumCore-ini-template.txt file. To install more than one product or feature, include the -A line for each.
   -J	Specifies Java properties that correspond to user inputs.

   As you edit the AtriumCore-ini-template.txt file, apply the following guidelines:

   • Remove the comment (#) markers.
   • To use an encrypted password, use the -J passwordOption= option.
   • In UNIX environments, ensure that no Ctrl+M characters appear in the AtriumCore-ini-template.txt file.
   • Enter Yes for the BMC_EULA_ACCEPT parameter:
     ## BMC EULA Accept
-J BMC_EULA_ACCEPT=Yes
   • For a fresh installation, you must specify:
     -J USER_SELECTED_INSTALL_MODE=<FRESH>
   • For an upgrade, you must specify:
     -J USER_SELECTED_INSTALL_MODE=<UPGRADE>
   • To install BMC Atrium CMDB in a server group environment, you must create separate AtriumCore-ini-template.txt files on the primary server and then on the secondary server.
   • To use an encrypted password, use the -J BMC_AR_PASSWORD option. To encrypt your password, see Encrypting passwords using the BMC Atrium Core Maintenance Tool.
2. Save the AtriumCore-ini-template.txt file.
3. Run the installer with the -i silent option:
   1. • (Windows)setup.exe -i silent -DOPTIONS_FILE=pathToFile\Options.txt

      • (UNIX)setup.bin -i silent -DOPTIONS_FILE=pathToFile/Options.txt

Example options.txt file for BMC Atrium Core

The following example shows an options.txt file that is used to run the installer in silent mode:
