Command line

Description

argument

 

 

 

/S[ILENT]

Supresses console messages. If this argument is omitted

 

from the command line, console messages are

 

displayed.

 

 

/F[ORCE]

Specifies whether an installation will be forced,

 

regardless of the server adapter firmware version that is

 

detected on the target server. The argument changes the

 

Smart Component installation in the following ways:

 

If the server adapter firmware on the target server is

 

current, the firmware reinstalls itself, and the installed

 

version number remains the same.

 

If a newer version of the server adapter firmware is

 

already installed on the target server, the component

 

installs itself and downgrades the server adapter

 

firmware to the older version number.

 

If this argument is omitted from the command line, the

 

installation is not forced.

 

 

/R[EBOOT]

Specifies whether the target server will reboot if the

 

Smart Component requests a reboot. If this argument is

 

omitted from the command line and the Smart

 

Component requests a reboot, the server must be

 

rebooted manually for the server adapter firmware

 

upgrade to take effect. The Windows server adapter

 

upgrade component will NOT request a reboot.

 

 

/H[ELP]

Displays command line Help information.

 

 

/?

Displays command line Help information. This argument

 

is identical to the /H[ELP] argument.
