Comments

-f “folder path”

Specifies the folder containing firmware update files.

-p “password-file”

Specifies encrypted password file created with the HpqPswd utility. Valid with all other options.

-s

Silent mode. Runs without any user interaction or output.

-a

Eliminates version comparison when -s is present. It is ignored otherwise. There is no log entry or usage

dialog if it appears without the silent option.

-h

Create HP_TOOLS partition if not present. On a GPT formatted system with native UEFI boot, this option is

ignored. On MBR, the partition is not created if it already exists. If unable to create partition, exits with error

code.

-b

If BitLocker with TPM is in use, automatically suspend it.

-r

Do not reboot automatically under silent mode (-s). The result code is SUCCESS_REBOOT (0xBC2) when

this option is used.

Show the same usage dialog that appears if an invalid command line is detected. This option overrides all

other options, including -s.
