Input file parameters

Parameter

Description

Possible Values

/silent

This argument causes the installation to run silently with no GUI or console output. All data is written to the log file. Any generated prompts use the default option and continue the installation without user input. If a component requires input before installation (such as configuration information), then the component installation fails (unless the IGNOREERRORS = "Failedependencies" parameter is supplied), and an error message is written to the log file.

YES, NO

/forceall

This argument forces both firmware and software components.

YES, NO

/forcerom

This argument forces updates to firmware components.

YES, NO

/forcesoftware

This argument forces updates to software components.

YES, NO

/forcebundle

This argument enables you to override or downgrade an existing installation of components in the selected bundle.

YES, NO

/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.)

YES, NO

/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.)

YES, NO

/rebootallowed

This argument enables you to reboot if required.

YES, NO

/rebootmessage

This argument enables you to create a message to be displayed prior to rebooting.

Any string

/rebootdelay

This argument enables you to delay before rebooting.

Time in seconds

/componentslist

This argument enables you to limit the list of components to be updated.

Component names with file extensions (.exe and .scexe)

/bundleslist

This argument enables you to limit the list of bundle xml files to be filtered on.

Bundle file names

/allowupdatebundle

This argument is a filter switch and enables you to install newer versions of components defined in a PSP or firmware bundle. This argument enables these components to replace the older versions of the same component that might have shipped with the bundles.

YES, NO

/skiptarget

This argument defines the behavior when a remote target has an existing HP Smart Update Manager session in progress. This argument allows you to skip the host if there is already an existing HP Smart Update Manager session. A NO overrides the existing session.

YES, NO

/ignoreerrors

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. FailedDependencies can be used to ignore any failed dependencies and proceed with the ones that are ready to be installed.

ServerNotFound, BadPassword, FailedDependencies

/sourcepath

 

This argument can be used to provide a single local repository path. This creates an inventory from the given path instead of the local or default repository.

Directory path

/uselatest

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, this parameter allows HP Smart Update Manager to use the bundle with the latest version for installation.

YES, NO

/dryrun

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

YES, NO

/options

This parameter can be used to specify the HP Smart Update Manager CLI options inside the input file and this will override the configuration settings. Parameters can be separated by a semi-colon, comma or a space.

All CLI switches
For example, OPTIONS = /f:rom,/silent

/usesnmp

This argument specifies that components, which use SNMP protocol, are available to be selected for installation. These components are available for selection by default. When the /usesnmp argument is used, and the /usewmi argument is not, the WMI components are optional.

YES, NO

/usewmi

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 /usewmi argument is used, and the /usesnmp argument is not, the SNMP components are optional.

YES, NO

/romonly

This argument is a filter switch and allows the user to see only the firmware components needed for installation. Do not use the /romonly argument with the /softwareonly argument.

YES, NO

/softwareonly

This argument is a filter switch and allows the user to see only the software components needed for installation. Do not use the /softwareonly argument with the /romonly argument.

YES, NO

/usecurrentcredential

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.)

YES, NO

/webupdateneeded

This argument enables you to instruct HP Smart Update Manager to include the components from HP.com in the list of possible updates.

YES, NO

/useproxyserver

This argument enables the inclusion of a proxy server (and port number) to access ftp.hp.com.

String value

For example, 11.22.33.44:80

/useproxyscript

This argument enables the inclusion of a proxy script to access ftp.hp.com.

Web URL

For example, autoproxy.com

/deleteinputfile

This argument enables you to instruct HP Smart Update Manager to delete the input file after it has been read in.

YES, NO (default)

/onfaileddependency

This argument instructs HP Smart Update Manager how to proceed when a component has a failed dependency. The default of OmitHost causes the host to be put in a failure state and no install is attempted on it. OmitComponent deselects the affected component(s) and proceeds with any updates that do not have dependency failures. Force attempts all updates, even if they have dependency failures.

OmitHost (default), OmitComponent, Force
