Performing the Real End User Experience Monitoring upgrade silently

You can install the BMC Real End User Experience Monitoring Software Edition upgrade unattended (a silent installation), which requires no user interaction during installation. You can perform a silent upgrade, as described in this topic, or you can use the upgrade wizard .

The server-silent-upgrade-options-linux.txt file is used to configure the BMC Real End User Experience Monitoring Software Edition silent installation.

This file is located in the Disk1 directory of the BMC Real End User Experience Monitoring Software Edition installation file structure.

The following topics are included:
