To install the Configuration Distribution Peer silently
While installing a Configuration Distribution Peer (CDP), the installation program searches for and uses the configuration settings for the repository.
Log in to the host computer (as a root user if you are using Linux) on which you want to install the CDP, and delete all the files from the temporary directory:
- (Windows) %temp%
(Linux) /tmp
- Create an options file for the repository by performing the following steps:
- Open a text editor to create a new file.
- Copy the contents of the sample CDP options file provided here.
Replace the variables in the options file that match your environment requirements and save the file.
Note
If you are installing a non-English version of the Operator Control Panel, you must install the non-English OCP and CDP on separate Tomcat servers.

From the command line, execute one of the following commands to start the installation program in silent mode.
When you specify the options file name, specify the full path to the options file; do not specify a path that is relative to the installation program.OS
Command
Example
Windows pathToInstaller\installCommand -i silent -DOPTIONS_FILE="fullPathToOptionsFile/optionsFile"setup.cmd -i silent -DOPTIONS_FILE=tso_CDP_options.txtLinux sh ./installCommand -i silent -DOPTIONS_FILE="fullPathToOptionsFile/optionsFile"sh ./linux_bao_server_installer_<version>.sh -i silent -DOPTIONS_FILE=tso_CDP_options.txtOn Windows, the silent installation does not direct output to the console. a short startup message and a console representation of a progress meter is displayed. The installation finishes without comments on the screen. On Redhat Linux, you can output debug logging to the console window by exporting LAX_DEBUG=true.
Verify whether the component is installed successfully by viewing the installation log (BAO_install_log.txt) located at the following location:
- Red Hat Linux: /tmp
- Microsoft Windows: C:\DOCUME~1_userName_\LOCALS~1\Temp
Scroll to the end of the log file to locate the
TrueSight Orchestrationinstall succeededsuccess message.To verify whether the CDP is installed, log on to the Grid Manager (web application hosted on the CDP), by using the following details:
Default URL and user account details for the CDP
URL: http(s)://fullyQualifiedDomainName:webServerPort/baocdp
Example: https://host.bmc.com:38080/baocdp
Username: aoadmin
Password: admin123
The Status tab shows the grid that you set up when you installed the CDP.
Post-installation activities
- If you are using the embedded Remedy SSO, after installing your components you must complete the steps as described in Configuring a fail-safe enterprise service bus after installation.
- After installing the primary CDP, the Default role has full access to the repository and to the grid, just as the AoAdmin role. In Remedy SSO, if a user is not assigned to any role, it is assigned to the Default group/role. BMC recommends that you update the permissions for the Default group to avoid providing permissions to unintended users. For more information, see Configuring after grid installation.
If you are installing in a Linux environment, you must complete the following instructions after the installation.

Next step in the installation process
For a basic deployment scenario, you can choose to install the Development Studio and
Content after installing the CDP.
See the Installing – Classic mode section for installing platform components based on your deployment scenario.
