HP SUM with Onboard Administrator requires a user ID and password to log in. The user ID must be an
Administrator equivalent ID and not an operator or user equivalent level ID.
NOTE: All arguments and information enclosed in brackets are optional. The arguments may
be prefixed with either a '-' or '/' character. These examples show only the '/'.
On Windows® operating systems, use a slash (/) before each argument. On Linux operating systems, use
a hyphen (-) before each argument.
If no command-line arguments are executed on the command line, the HP SUM GUI appears.
NOTE: Command line syntax does not support double-byte character sets. Any messages
entered through the command line using a double-byte character set will not be displayed
correctly.
Command-line arguments
HP SUM recognizes the following command-line arguments. These arguments prepopulate the GUI in the
Select Items to be Installed screen. If you specify the host or group, then the Select Items to be Installed
screen does not appear.
You cannot use some arguments, such as /romonly and /softwareonly together.
