<allowReboot>
Set this to true or false as desired. A server reboot is recommended after upgrading HP SIM and partner
components. The silent.xml lists all the components with their product IDs for install. Set the
<install>
value to true if you want to upgrade that particular component.
NOTE: HP SIM and HP System Management Homepage always upgrade even if their <install> is set
to false.
IMPORTANT: For a Silent upgrade, the service or database user name containing special characters, such
as: &, <, &, <, >, ', " must be escaped appropriately as below in the silent.xml file:
& &
< <
> >
' '
" "
For example, for a user name such as user&1, the entry in silent.xml would be user&1.
For a silent install/upgrade embedded quote ( " ) character in service or database password is not supported.
The installation or upgrade status of HP SIM and selected components are logged in the HP SIM.log and
silentstatus.xml files. Both files are created in the root of the system drive.
