Description

Reboot options

If the following conditions are met, this argument causes
the server (or host server in a remote installation) to reboot:

/r[eboot]

The /reboot option is selected or given as a
command-line argument.

All components selected for installation are successfully
installed.

At least one of the installed components requires a
reboot to complete its installation.

Displays the specified reboot message on remote consoles
connected to the server that you want to reboot. You must

/reboot_message "reboot message"

use this argument with the /reboot option, or the
argument is ignored.

Delays the reboot of the server for the length of time that
the timeout_in_seconds variable specifies. You must

/reboot_delay timeout_in_secs

use this argument with the /reboot option, or the
argument is ignored. Acceptable values are between 15
and 3600.

The default timeout value is 15 seconds for Microsoft
Windows operating systems and 60 seconds for Linux.

For Linux, the reboot delay time is converted from
seconds to minutes, and any value under a full minute
(59 seconds or less) rounds to the next minute.

If the following conditions are met, this argument forces
the server to reboot:

/reboot_always

The /reboot_always option is selected or given as
a command-line argument.

All components selected for installation are successfully
installed.

Description

Simulating HP SUM

This argument simulates the installation for a test run.
Nothing is installed.

/dryrun

Description

Nodes

Use this argument to log in to the remote nodes by using
the user ID.

/user

or /username

The user name needs to belong to the root or administrator
group.

Use this argument to use this password for the user ID
specified in the /user parameter (except for the OA
node). The password is used to log in to remote nodes.

/password

HP SUM also supports passwd and pwd

Use root (super user) username to start a session, and
inventory and update components when the credentials

/su_username

specified in /username and /passwd do not have root
privileges to update components.

/su_username

cannot be used with /use_sudo access

level.

NOTE:

Specifying /targettype linux reduces

inventory time for deployments. This is an optional
command line argument.
