Example 1: The two targets are passed to be updated. The targets do not necessarily have to be OAs.
They can be any target supported by HP Smart Update Manager.

DRYRUN = YES
SILENT = YES

[TARGETS]
HOST = BL465C-01
HOST = 192.168.1.2

Example 2: A host is passed along with the user ID and password to use.

DRYRUN = YES

UID = Bigboss2
PWD = password
[END]

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 Smart Update Manager, add it as the inputfile
parameter to a normal HP Smart Update Manager 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 Smart Update Manager
executables. The field may be enclosed in double quotes to allow for paths with spaces. Also,
the input file itself may contain the same flags on the command line. The usual command line flags may
still be used with the -inputfile flag, and takes precedence over any given input file.
