Altiris depoly HP service pack for proliant, command lines to use for install, snmp config?

[k-master]

With Altirs RDP we are using Proliant support pack with the following command-line switches:

-use_latest -use_wmi -reboot_always -s -f

I see Service Pack Proliant has replaced it. What is the command-line switch for this install? Also, with our current setup after the SPS install I have to login to the machine and to the HP system management home page, HP version control agent and enter my SIM (insight manager-version control repository manager) server name and login account and password.

Anybody know how to command-line switches to enter this information? Or have a seperate job for the snmp configuration\ machine name and credentials.  It would save me time instead always manually putting in the information.

Thats a good idea, automating the setup of the SMH config.

You could push it via SIM once the new server has an ip !!

Im sure with a bit of investigation a config could be deployed after the installation of SMH via the smhconfig.exe with appropriate switches. Found here in windows - c:\hp\hpsmh\bin

Hope this puts you on the right track.

To script the deployment of the PSP from the SPP use the following command line (I'm assuming you are using windows):

• hpsum.exe /use_latest /use_wmi /reboot_always /f /s

So that part appears to be the same :) For the other part about configuring the VC agent, you can pre-configure this in the SPP before deployment. To do this, do the following:

1. Locate the VCA install executable (you can look this up online or in the .xml indexes in the SPP)
2. Run the tool 'hpsum_config.exe' from the SPP against this executable.

This will mean that the credentials you specify above are carried down during the install ;)
