Command-line argument Description
/use_snmp
This argument specifies that components, which use SNMP protocol, are
available to be selected for installation. These components are available for
selection by default. When the /use_snmp argument is used, and the
/use_wmi argument is not, the WMI components are optional. This argument
does not apply to HP Integrity servers.
/use_wmi
This argument specifies that components, which use WMI protocol, are available
to be selected for installation. These components are optional by default and are
not installed unless this argument is used. When the /use_wmi argument is
used, and the /use_snmp argument is not, the SNMP components are optional.
This argument does not apply to HP Integrity servers.
/use_latest
This argument is a filter switch for use with bundles. The argument enables you to
use the latest version of the bundle when multiple versions of bundles are listed on
the command line. If no bundles are specified on the command line, and multiple
bundles are in the directory, then the /use_latest argument enables HP SUM
to use the bundle with the latest version for installation.
/romonly
This argument is a filter switch and enables the user to view only the firmware
components required for installation. When using this filter switch, you must exit,
and then restart HP SUM to return to an unfiltered state. Do not use the
/romonly argument with the /softwareonly argument (applies to firmware
only).
/softwareonly
This argument is a filter switch and enables the user to view only the software
components required for installation. When using this filter switch, you must exit,
and then restart HP SUM to return to an unfiltered state.
Do not use the
/softwareonly
argument with the
/romonly
argument.
Overriding errors
/continue_on_error
<error>
This argument causes the installation to continue and ignore errors. Valid values
are:
•
<error>=ServerNotFound
•
<error>=BadPassword
•
<error>=FailedDependencies
The ServerNotFound option can be used to bypass inactive or unavailable
remote hosts when deploying firmware or software to multiple remote hosts at the
same time.
/override_existing_c
onnection
This argument defines the behavior when a remote target has an existing HP
SUM session in progress. This argument overrides the session in progress and
reinitializes the installation framework on the remote host.
/on_failed_dependenc
y
This argument informs HP SUM how to proceed when a component has a failed
dependency.
The default of OmitHost causes the host to be put in a failure state and no install
is attempted on it.
OmitComponent clears the affected components and proceeds with any
updates that do not have dependency failures.
Force attempts all updates, even if they have dependency failures.
Reboot options
/r[eboot]
If the following conditions are met, then this argument causes the server (or host
server in a remote installation) to reboot:
•
The /reboot option is selected or given as a command-line argument.
•
All components selected for installation are successfully installed.
•
At least one of the installed components requires a reboot to complete its
