Input files

HP SUM provides the ability to script the update of multiple, individual targets or groups of targets (HP ProLiant and Integrity servers and options) within a single operation through the input file functionality. To protect your credentials, use a secure server or a management console.

To create an input file, use a text editor. All section headers and trailers must match. Failure to use the SILENT=YES option causes the GUI mode to be used, but the information provided enables you to skip screens where information has already been provided. You can use the DRYRUN=YES option to perform dry runs of installations to ensure the scripts are working without deploying the firmware updates that might be required on each target. Remove the DRYRUN=YES option to perform the updates.

For parameters that can take list values, list separators can be commas, semicolons, or spaces.

NOTE: The credentials can be omitted from the file for greater security and passed on the command line to HP SUM. The only limitation that the user ID and credentials must be the same on all.
