"setupc.exe /f /silent /use-latest /reboot-always"
Could someone let me know what the HP SUM syntax should be & is there a way of verbosely displaying the output?
Thanks.

SolutionThe equivalent HPSUM command line would be:
hpsum /f:all /silent /use_latest /reboot_always /use_snmp
/f:all = force all components to install, run again, or downgrade if necessary to the version in the bundle
/silent = run silently
/use_latest = Use the latest bundle XML file found in the directory as the default PSP to install
/reboot_always = Always reboot unless a failure occurs
/use_snmp = Default to the SNMP agents. If you choose to go with the WBEM-based WMI agents instead, you'll need to use the /use_wmi switch instead.
On the question of verbosity, we are adding verbosity to error logs later this year but have no console based installation mode which displays the output as the installation is proceeding. If you need this type of capability, we'd recommend running in express mode (/express_install). You'll get a graphical display of the installation, but there is no user input needed to drive the installation.

Re: HP Support Update Manager comand line issue
I notice even though I use the syntax:-
hpsum.exe /f:all /express_install /use_latest /reboot_always /use_snmp the server will not always reboot at the end of the install if there are any unknown devices in device manager left or I assume some drivers could not be installed from the psp for some reason.
I can live with this though.
Cheers

Re: HP Support Update Manager comand line issue
You are correct. HPSUM will not reboot if any failure occurs during the installation. This is a design philosophy that if something fails, it is better to stop and allow someone to fix it than to reboot and be in a situation where it may require safe mode or other extreme measures to recover.

Michael

Re: HP Support Update Manager comand line issue
Using /h or /? will provide you a detailed listing of the command line arguments.
Unlike some of our other tools this one is very well documented.

Re: HP Support Update Manager comand line issue
There is an easier way to see the CLI parameters from HPSUM. Just read the CLIHelp.txt file in the directory. The /? and -h options just dump this file to the console and exit.

Re: HP Support Update Manager comand line issue
hpsum.exe /f:all /express_install /use_latest /reboot_always /use_snmp
The HP SUM Express splash screen appears & then pauses awaiting a click on the "Start Inventory" button.
Is there a way to automate the Express install so no user intervention is required?
Thanks.

Re: HP Support Update Manager comand line issue
Does it matter where the /silent qualifier is positioned in the line of syntax?

Re: HP Support Update Manager comand line issue
"hpsum.exe /f:all /s /express_install /use_latest /reboot_always /use_snmp"
No HP SUM splash screen appeared. Just a black command shell box as per a silent install. No reboot as the Fibre Channel HBA drivers appeared to fail to install.
Any ideas on why no visible express install screen?

Re: HP Support Update Manager comand line issue
The /express_install switch was broken in HPSUM versions 3.5.x and 3.6.0. It has been fixed for the next release planned in early December. Until then, the only option is to use the silent install or the GUI install. If a component is failing during silent mode, it can be removed from the directory and installed separately to determine the cause of the failure.
Regards.

Re: HP Support Update Manager comand line issue
Ok to complete this thread:-
"hpsum.exe /f:all /express_install /use_latest /reboot_always /use_snmp"
should run an automated install in the next release when the /express_install is fixed and verbosely show the state of the install.
No /silent qualifier will be required?
Thanks.
