Installing a CDP silently
To install the Configuration Distribution Peer silently
When you install a Configuration Distribution Peer (CDP), the installation program searches for and uses the configuration settings for the repository.
- Log on to the host computer (if, as a root user, you are using Linux) where 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 files provided here according to your requirements.

Replace the variables in the options file according to your environment requirements, and save the file.
From the command line, run one of the following commands to start the installation program in silent mode.

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.txtWhen you perform a silent installation on Windows, the output is not displayed on the console. Instead, a short startup message and a console representation of a progress meter are displayed. The installation finishes without comments. On Redhat Linux, you can display the debug logging output on the console 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 Orchestration install succeeded success message.
To verify whether the CDP is installed, log on to the Grid Manager (a web application hosted on the CDP), by using the following details:
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 TrueSight Orchestration 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 TrueSight Orchestration Development Studio and TrueSight Orchestration Content after installing the CDP. For installing platform components based on your deployment scenario, see Installing-Classic-mode.
