This topic describes how you can perform a silent install of BMC Capacity Optimization on your machine. For more information, refer to the following sections:
A silent installation enables you to install the product on your machine in situations where the operating system does not provide a graphical user interface (UI) support. Run a silent installation if you want to:
You can launch a silent install from the command line by using a preconfigured install configuration template file (config file) that contains details for all the parameters required to install the product. You can create a single config file and use it for multiple installations.
Sample config files that contain default parameters for installing the product in different configurations are included with the product install package, and you can modify them as per your installation requirement or scenario.
BMC recommends that you obtain the appropriate config files from the product install package, and complete all the steps mentioned in Planning and Preparing a host for installation before you proceed.
To install BMC Capacity Optimization in silent mode, perform the following task:
Unzip and extract the installation files: In the temporary directory that you created while Preparing a host for installation, unzip and extract the installation file by using the following commands.
Unzip command with example |

Unzip: Example: |
Extract command with example |
Extract: Example: |
./BCO/Disk1/silentInstallTemplates
.Copy the sample config file: Copy the appropriate sample config file to a folder of your choice: cp <config file name> /<target directory>
BMC recommends you to add custom values to a copy of, and not to the original config file that came with the install package.
Edit the config file: Open the config file for editing in a text editor, enter your own values against default installation parameters and options that you would like to customize, and save the file.
Launch the silent install: Change the working directory back to /BCO/Disk1
and type the following command to launch the silent installer using a config file and install the product on your machine:
./setup.sh -i silent -DOPTIONS_FILE=<file path>/<config file name>.txt
where <config file name>
can be one of the following silent install config files:
Scenario 1: Typical installation
Configuration file | Configuration/Installation type |
---|---|
BCO_FIRST_SERVER_TYPICAL.txt | Typical install on the First Server: Install the Application Server + ETL Engine – All components |
Scenario 2: Scenario 1 + Installing components across multiple machines
Configuration file | Configuration/Installation type |
---|---|
BCO_FIRST_SERVER_CUSTOM_AS_FRONTEND_WEB.txt | Custom install of the First Application Server. |
BCO_ADDITIONAL_SERVER_AS_BACKEND_DH_PS.txt | Install the Additional Server: Install the Data Hub + Primary Scheduler + ETL Engine. (Valid only if the First Server is installed using Configuration 2) |
Scenario 3: Scenario 1 + Install BMC Capacity Optimization with an additional ETL server
Configuration file | Configuration/Installation type |

BCO_ADDITIONAL_SERVER_AS_WEB.txt | Install the Additional Web Server. |
If the silent install completed successfully, the silent installer will exit with no notifications, and the shell prompt will display the blinking cursor.
If the installer encounters any issues with config file parameters during installation, it will exit midway and return appropriate error codes. You can also check the log file for details.
