Input files
HP SUM provides the ability to script the update of multiple, individual targets or groups of targets (HP
ProLiant and Integrity server 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 [END] 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. The DRYRUN=YES option can be used 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 separator can be commas, semicolons, or spaces.
NOTE:
The credentials can be left out of the file for greater security and passed on the command
line to HP Smart Update Manager. The only limitation of this is that the userID and credentials must
be the same on all.
When the file has been created, to use it with HP SUM, add it as the inputfile
a normal HP SUM command line. For example, if the name of the input file is hpsum.in, the command-line
syntax is hpsum -inputfile hpsum.in. Full paths can be added to the input file location if it is not stored
in the same location as the HP SUM executables. The
enable paths with spaces. Also, the input file itself might contain the same flags on the command line. The
usual command-line flags can still be used with the -inputfile flag and takes precedence over any given
input file.
