HP SUM with Onboard Administrator requires a user ID and password to log in. The user ID must be an
administrator equivalent ID and not an operator or user equivalent level ID.
NOTE: All arguments and information enclosed in brackets are optional. The arguments may be
prefixed with either a '-' or '/' character. These examples show only the '/'.
On Windows operating systems, use a slash (/) before each argument. On Linux operating systems, use a
hyphen (-) before each argument.
If the /s[ilent] argument is not included on the command line, the HP SUM GUI appears.
NOTE: Command line syntax does not support double-byte character sets. Any messages
entered through the command line using a double-byte character set will not be displayed
correctly.
