Command-line arguments

HP SUM recognizes the following command-line arguments, which you can use to pre-populate the GUI on the Source Selection and Review/Install Updates screens. If you specify the target and credentials, use the /s[ilent] parameter to proceed with the installation.

You cannot use some arguments, such as /romonly and /softwareonly, together.

Help

Description

 

 

/h[elp] or /?

Displays command line help information.

 

 

 

 

Installation options

Description

 

 

/f[orce]

Overrides or downgrades an existing component

 

installation. This produces the same results as

 

/f:software.

 

 

/f[orce]:bundle

Overrides or downgrades the existing installation of

 

components in the selected bundle.

 

 

/f[orce]:rom

Overrides or downgrades the existing installation of the

 

selected firmware components (applies to firmware only).

 

 

/f[orce]:software

Overrides or downgrades the existing installation of the

 

selected software components.

 

 

/f[orce]:all

Overrides or downgrades the existing installation of the

 

selected software components, firmware components, and

 

bundles.

 

 

/g or /downgrade

Downgrades to an earlier version of firmware for

 

multi-target devices such as hard drives and array

 

controllers (applies to firmware only).

 

 

/e or /rewrite

Downgrades to an earlier version of firmware for

 

multi-target devices such as hard drives and array

 

controllers (applies to firmware only).

 

 

/s[ilent]

Causes the installation to run silently with no GUI or console

 

output. All data writes to the log file. Any generated

 

prompts use the default option and continue the installation

 

without user input. If a component requires input before

 

installation (such as configuration information), then the

 

component installation fails, and an error message writes

 

to the log file.

 

Failed dependencies are not reported to the user when you

 

are using the /s[ilent] argument. To check for failed

 

dependencies, remove the /s[ilent] argument and

 

reissue the command line. The HP SUM GUI appears.
