Command-line installation
The HP SUM command-line interface enables you to script custom installations. For more information, about
command-line syntax and command-line arguments, see the HP Smart Update Manager User Guide
(http://www.hp.com/support/HP_Smart_Update_Manager_UG_en
).

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 no command-line arguments are executed on the command line, the component 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.
