Installing silently the BMC TrueSight Infrastructure Management Server

This page provides information about performing a silent installation of the Infrastructure Management Server 10.0 and Infrastructure Management Update 10.0.500.

Installing silently the Infrastructure Management Server on Microsoft Windows

For silent installation, you must encrypt the passwords and use the encrypted passwords in the .options file. For more information about encrypting the passwords that are required for silent installation, see Encrypting passwords in the options file.

Perform the following steps to install Infrastructure Management Server 10.0 and Update 10.0.500 on Microsoft Windows:

  1. To install the Infrastructure Management Server 10.0, from the command prompt, navigate to the install.cmd file in the \TSIMServer\Disk1\INSTALL_FILES directory. 
  2. Customize the server_install.options file as required, which is available in the \TSIMServer\Disk1\INSTALL_FILES directory.

  3. Enter the following command at the command prompt:

    install.cmd -i silent -DOPTIONS_FILE=<fullyQualifiedPath>\server_install.options

    where fullyQualifiedPath indicates the complete path where you have saved the server_install.options file. If the fullyQualifiedPath parameter contains a space in it, the path must be enclosed within double quotes.

    Example

    install.cmd -i silent -DOPTIONS_FILE="C:\Program Files\TSIM Installation\server_install.options"

  4. To install the Infrastructure Management Update 10.0.500, from the command prompt, go to the install.cmd file in the \TSIMServer\Disk1\INSTALL_FILES\TSIM_Update_10.0.500\Disk1 directory. 
  5. Customize the server_update_silent.options file as required, which is available in the \TSIMServer\Disk1\INSTALL_FILES\TSIM_Update_10.0.500\Disk1 directory.

  6.  Enter the following command at the command prompt:
    install.cmd -i silent -DOPTIONS_FILE=<fullyQualifiedPath>\server_update_silent.options

    where fullyQualifiedPath indicates the complete path where you have saved the server_update_silent.options file. If the fullyQualifiedPath parameter contains a space in it, the path must be enclosed within double quotes.

    Example

    install.cmd -i silent -DOPTIONS_FILE="C:\Program Files\TSIM Installation\server_update_silent.options"

Note

Installation-related information is not displayed on the console when the silent installation begins. However, installation occurs in the background. The progress of the installation is logged in a temporary folder during the installation. Go to Start > Run, enter %temp% in the Open box, and see the tsim_server_install_log.txt file for the installation progress details and for the database-related progress details.

Installing silently the Infrastructure Management Server on Linux or Solaris

For silent installation, you must encrypt the passwords and use the encrypted passwords in the .options file. For more information about encrypting the passwords that are required for silent installation, see Encrypting passwords in the options file.

Perform the following steps to install Infrastructure Management Server 10.0 and Update 10.0.500 on Linux or Solaris operating systems:

  1. To install the Infrastructure Management Server 10.0, from the command prompt, go to the install.sh file in the TSIMServer/Disk1/INSTALL_FILES directory. 
  2. Customize the server_install.options file as required, which is available in the following directory:
    • (Linux) Linux/TSIMServer/Disk1/INSTALL_FILES 
    • (Solaris) Solaris/TSIMServer/Disk1/INSTALL_FILES 

  3. Run the following command at the command prompt:
    ./install.sh -i silent -DOPTIONS_FILE=<fullyQualifiedPath>/server_install.options 

    where fullyQualifiedPath indicates the complete path where you have saved the server_install.options file. If the fullyQualifiedPath parameter contains a space in it, the path must be enclosed within double quotes.

    Example

    ./install.sh -i silent -DOPTIONS_FILE="/opt/TSIM Installation/server_install.options"

  4. To install the Infrastructure Management Update 10.0.500, from the command prompt, go to the install.sh file in the TSIMServer/Disk1/INSTALL_FILES/TSIM_Update_10.0.500/Disk1 directory. 
  5. Customize the server_update_silent.options file as required, which is available in the following directory: 
    • (Linux) Linux/TSIMServer/Disk1/INSTALL_FILES/TSIM_Update_10.0.500/Disk1
    • (Solaris) Solaris/TSIMServer/Disk1/INSTALL_FILES/TSIM_Update_10.0.500/Disk1

  6. Enter the following command at the command prompt:
    ./install.sh -i silent -DOPTIONS_FILE=<fullyQualifiedPath>/server_update_silent.options
