Description Superdome 2 server commands
Determines which Superdome 2 firmware is updated. You
can choose ALL, COMPLEX, or PARTITIONS. The default
selection is ALL. /update_type
Example: /update_type PARTITIONS
Use this argument when the /update_type argument is
PARTITIONS
. This argument specifies the subset of
/device_list
partitions or unassigned blades to update when you do
not want to update all partitions or unassigned blades.
Valid devices are: npar(number) and
blade(enc)/(bay)
. Do not put any spaces between the
parameters.
Example: /device_list
npar1,npar2,blade1/1,blade1/2
Use this argument when the /update_type is ALL or
PARTITIONS
. This argument specifies specific partitions
/reboot_list
to reboot after the partition firmware has been updated.
Valid npar values are npar(number). Do not put any
spaces between parameters.
Example: /reboot_list npar1,npar2
Command-line examples
Example 1:
This command-line input deploys the latest SPP and firmware components:
hpsum /use_latest /allow_non_bundle_components /silent
Results: All software components and firmware components from the update bundle in the current
directory, which HP SUM determined must be installed, were installed.
Example 2:
The following command-line inputs can deploy the previous version of the SPP only and force all
the components to be installed:
•
hpsum /f:bundle /softwareonly /use_location c:\downloads\previousSPP
/s
Results: All software components from the update bundle, which HP SUM determined must be
installed, were installed. No firmware was installed.
Example 3:
This command-line input deploys firmware only, from the bundle found in the current directory
where HP SUM is located:
hpsum /romonly /s
Results: All firmware components that must be installed, were installed. No software was installed.
