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.

Command-line

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

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

/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

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

firmware only.)

/e or /rewrite

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

firmware only.)

/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.

If the device to be flashed is in a shared storage environment, and the /m

option is not passed, then the component installation fails. (Applies to

firmware only.)

/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.
