Performing the Server upgrade silently: 2.5.01

This topic presents silent upgrade procedures for the BMC Application Diagnostics Server from version 2.0, or later, to 2.5.01. You can upgrade the Server components using the silent upgrade procedure and deploy the silent upgrade to several computers, or you can upgrade each Server component using the upgrade wizard procedure. When you run the silent upgrade, any Server components (BMC Application Diagnostics Portal, BMC Application Diagnostics Collector, or both) on the computer are upgraded.

The following topics are presented:

Before you begin

  • Download the following options file with the installation files from the Electronic Product Distribution website to a temporary directory on the Server computer.:
    • (Windows) adop-silent-option-upgrade.txt
    • (Linux) adop-silent-option-upgrade
  • Obtain an encrypted root password for the MySQL Database.

To upgrade the BMC Application Diagnostics Server silently

    • (Linux) adop-silent-option-upgrade

  3. Enter the encrypted root password for the MySQL Database to update the database tables.

    If the root password was not changed since installation, do not change the entered password.

  4. If you did not previously upgrade the MySQL to version 5.6.14, select the data management method for the upgrade:
    • copy—(Default) The data directory is copied to the new database.
      If you do not have enough space, a warning is displayed and the upgrade script is aborted.
    • move—The data directory is moved to the new database. The previous database is deleted at the end of upgrade process.
  5. To run the silent upgrade, enter the following command:

    • Windows

      setup.cmd -i silent -DOPTIONS_FILE=adop-silent-option-upgrade.txt

    • Linux

      ./setup.sh -i silent -DOPTIONS_FILE=adop-silent-option-upgrade
