Install CA Performance Center on Linux in Silent Mode

After you install CA Performance Center on a server, you can use the silent installation feature to install and configure the database and website on multiple computers simultaneously.

Note: Java is included with this software program and installs automatically.

Follow these steps:

1. Log in to the server as root, or use the sudo account you have configured for the installation.

   If the sudo account is not configured properly, you are prompted to set it up with the appropriate permissions. For more information, see Linux User Account Requirements.

2. Extract the contents of the installer archive file.
3. Change directories to the location of the extracted files.
4. Use a text editor to create a response file. Or locate the sample file that was included in the archive and open it for editing.

   This file supplies installer response settings to the setup program.

5. Edit the values for the following variables as needed:

   USER_INSTALL_DIR

   Designates the directory where the application should be installed.

   Default: /opt/CA

   MYSQL_DATA_FOLDER

   Designates the location for the MySQL data directory.

   Default: /opt/CA/MySql/data.

   MYSQL_TEMP_FOLDER

   Designates the location for the directory to store MySQL temporary files.

   Default: /opt/CA/MySql/tmp.

6. Save and close the file.
7. Open a command prompt.
8. Run the following command on all servers where you want to install CA Performance Center:

   ./CAPerfCenterSetup.bin -i silent -r installer.response
   

   The installation begins.

   An empty prompt indicates that components have been installed.

9. Press Enter to exit the Setup Program.
10. (Optional) Verify the installation by viewing the log files in the root of the installation directory.

    For example, installation errors and configuration events are logged in the following location by default:

    /opt/CA/PerformanceCenter/InstallLogs
