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.

/reboot_always

If the following conditions are met, then this argument forces the server to
reboot: The /reboot_always option is selected or given as a

command-line argument.

All components selected for installation are successfully installed.

Creating Host Groups

/group “group_name”

This argument specifies an already defined group name in the HP SUM GUI.

Simulating HP SUM

/dryrun

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

Targets

/user <username> or

/username

This argument enables you to log in to the remote targets with the username.

/psswd <password>

This argument enables you to use the password for the username specified in the

/user argument to log in to remote targets.

/current_credential This argument enables the credentials of the local host to be used as the

credentials to access the targets instead of providing the username and password
explicitly for each target. The assumption is that the current credentials are valid

for the targets being accessed. (Applies to Windows® operating systems only.)

/target "netAddress"

This argument is the IP address or the DNS name of a remote server, remote iLO

NIC port, Virtual Connect Ethernet or Fibre Channel Module for HP BladeSystem

than the default location.

For Windows® components, the default location is

%SYSTEMDRIVE%\CPQSYSTEM\hp\log and the redirected
location is \hp\log\.

For Linux components, the default location is /var/hp/log/

and the redirected location is /hp/log/.

/v[erbose] or

/veryv[erbose]

These arguments enable you to set the verbosity level for the HP SUM execution
log file, hpsum_execution_log__. Using one of these

arguments increases the level of detail that is retained in the log file. The default

value is normal verbosity.

Generating reports

/report

This argument generates a report listing, a target summary, and how the

components in the repository affect the target (For example, whether each

component applies to the target or not). The report name is of the format,
HPSUM_ Report__.

By default, it is located in the present working directory from where HP SUM is

initiated. If that location is write-protected, the report can be found in the same
directory as the HP SUM log files.
