argument

Description

Help

/h[elp] or /?

This argument displays command line Help information.

Installation Options

/f[orce]

This argument enables you to override or downgrade an existing component
installation. This argument produces the same results as /f:software.

/f[orce]:bundle

This argument enables you to override or downgrade the existing installation
of components in the selected bundle.

/f[orce]:rom

(Applies to firmware only.) This argument enables you to override or
downgrade the existing installation of the selected firmware components.

/f[orce]:software

This argument enables you to override or downgrade the existing installation
of the selected software components.

/f[orce]:all

This argument enables you to override or downgrade the existing installation
of the selected software components, firmware components, and bundles.

/g or /downgrade

(Applies to firmware only.) This argument enables you to downgrade to an
earlier version of firmware for multi-target devices such as hard drives and
array controllers.

/e or /rewrite

(Applies to firmware only.)This argument enables you to rewrite the same
version of firmware only for multi-target devices such as hard drives and
array controllers.

/m[utual]

If the device you want to flash is in a shared storage environment, then
this argument informs the firmware flash engine to flash the firmware.

(Applies to firmware only.) If the device to be flashed is in a shared
storage environment, and the /m option is not passed, then the

component installation fails.

/c[omponent]

or


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

If using the /c[omponent] argument, then only one component can be

specified with the argument. However, multiple /c arguments and

components can be specified on the same line.

If the /c[omponent] argument is not used, then 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 mixing components and bundles on the command line, the filter
switches control what components and bundles are installed.

/s[ilent]

This argument causes the installation to run silently with no GUI or console
output. All data writes to the log file. Any generated prompts use the default
option and continue the installation without user input. If a component
requires input before installation (such as configuration information), then the
component installation fails, and an error message writes to the log file.
Failed dependencies are not reported to the user when using the
/s[ilent]argument. To check for failed dependencies, remove the /s[ilent]
argument, reissue the command line, and then the HP SUM GUI appears.
