Defined groups: Management Servers—Three servers (Management Server1, Management
Server2, Management Server3)
Example 1:
This command-line input deploys the latest PSP and firmware components:
hpsum /use_latest /allow_non_bundle_components /silent
Results: All software components from the 7.90 PSP and firmware components, which HP SUM determined
are required to be installed, were installed.
Example 2:
Either of the following command-line inputs can deploy the previous version of the PSP only and force all the
components to be installed:
• hpsum /f:bundle /softwareonly BP000315.xml
• hpsum /b BP000315.xml /f:bundle /softwareonly
Results: All software components from the 7.80 PSP, which HP SUM determined are required to be installed,
were installed. No firmware was installed.
Example 3:
This command-line input deploys firmware:
hpsum /romonly
Results: All firmware components, which are required to be installed, were installed. No software was
installed.
Example 4:
Either of the following command-line inputs can deploy two software components:
• hpsum /f:software cp008097.exe cp008257.exe
• hpsum /c cp008097.exe /c cp008257.exe /f:software
Results: The two components were installed. No firmware or other software was installed.
Example 5:
Either of the following command-line inputs can deploy the latest PSP, later versions of components in the
bundle, and firmware to three remote hosts and force all components to be installed:
• hpsum /group "Management Servers" /current_credential /use_latest
/allow_update_to_bundle /allow_non_bundle_components /force:all
/override_existing_connection /continue_on_error ServerNotFound /silent
/logdir "Management_Server_Files"
• hpsum /target "Management Server1" /target "Management Server2" /target
"Management Server3" /user administrator /passwd letmein /use_latest
/allow_update_to_bundle /allow_non_bundle_components /force:all
/override_existing_connection /continue_on_error ServerNotFound /silent
/logdir "Management_Server_Files"
Results: All firmware components, software components from the 7.90 PSP, cp008097.exe, and
cp008257.exe were installed on Management Server1, Management Server2, and Management Server3.
