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.
