Description

Installation options

Overrides or downgrades the existing installation of the
selected software components.

/f[orce]:software

Overrides or downgrades the existing installation of the
selected software components, firmware components, and
bundles.

/f[orce]:all

Downgrades to an earlier version of firmware for
multi-target devices such as hard drives and array
controllers (applies to firmware only).

/g or /downgrade

Rewrites the current version of firmware for multi-target
devices such as hard drives and array controllers (applies
to firmware only).

/e or /rewrite

Causes the installation to run silently with no GUI or console
output. All data writes to the log file. Any generated

/s[ilent]

prompts use the default option and continue the installation
without user input. If a component requires input before
installation (such as configuration information), 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.

Specifies which components to install. Components to install
can be specified with or without the /c[omponent]
argument.

/c[omponent] or

If you are using the /c[omponent] argument, then
only one component can specified with the argument.
However, multiple /c arguments and components can
be specified on the same line.

If you do not use the /c[omponent] argument, multiple
components can be specified at the same time, but the
components must be separated by a blank and listed
after all the arguments on the command line.

The components are installed in the order provided
unless dependencies between components require
installation in a different order. If so, the utility changes
the installation order based on the component
dependencies to ensure the successful installation of as
many components as possible.

Multiple components and bundles can be specified on
the same command line. When you are mixing
components and bundles on the command line, the filter
switches control what components and bundles are
installed.

HP SUM only uses the component name. If you type the
entire directory path, HP SUM will ignore the path. If
you use /use_location and /c, HP SUM checks
both the default repository and the directory provided.

This argument specifies an already defined group name
in the HP SUM GUI.

/group "group_name"

This argument specifies bundles to install. Bundles to install
can be specified with or without the /b[undle] argument.

/b[undle] or

If you are using the /b[undle] argument, only one
bundle can specified with the argument. However,
