Command-line argument Description
/use_wmi This argument specifies that components, which use WMI protocol, are available
to be selected for installation. These components are optional by default and will
not be installed unless this argument is used. When the /use_wmi argument is
used, and the /use_snmp argument is not, the SNMP components are optional.
/use_latest This argument is a filter switch for use with bundles. The argument enables you to
use the latest version of the bundle when multiple versions of bundles are listed on
the command line. If there are no bundles specified on the command line, and
multiple bundles are in the directory, the /use_latest argument enables HP
SUM to use the bundle with the latest version for installation.
/romonly This argument is a filter switch and enables the user to view only the firmware
components needed for installation. When using this filter switch, you must exit,
and then restart HP SUM to return to an unfiltered state. Do not use the
/romonly argument with the /softwareonly argument.
Overriding errors
/softwareonly This argument is a filter switch and enables the user to view only the software
components needed for installation. When using this filter switch, you must exit,
and then restart HP SUM to return to an unfiltered state. Do not use the
/softwareonly argument with the /romonly argument.
/continue_on_error This argument causes the installation to continue and ignore errors. Valid values
are =ServerNotFound, =BadPassword and =
FailedDependencies.
The ServerNotFound option can be used to bypass inactive or unavailable
remote hosts when deploying firmware or software to multiple remote hosts at the
same time.
/override_existing_c
onnection
This argument defines the behavior when a remote target has an existing HP
SUM session in progress. This argument overrides the session in progress and
reinitializes the installation framework on the remote host.
/On_failed_dependenc
y
This argument informs HP SUM how to proceed when a component has a failed
dependency.
The default OmitHost causes the host to be put in a failure state and no install is
attempted on it.
OmitComponent clears the affected components and proceeds with any updates
that do not have dependency failures.
Force attempts all updates, even if they have dependency failures.
Reboot options
/r[eboot] If the following conditions are met, then this argument causes the server (or host
server in a remote installation) to reboot:
• 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.
/reboot_message
“reboot message”
This argument displays the specified reboot message on remote consoles
connected to the server you want to reboot. You must use this argument with the
/reboot option or the argument is ignored.
/rebooted
timeout_in_seconds
This argument delays the reboot of the server for the length of time specified by
the timeout_in_seconds variable. You must 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
