PSP 8.40 & HPSUM inputfile parameter
Before PSP 8.40 we used the --inputfile parameter to pass the installer the config options we needed for things like system management home page and so,
like this:
LOGFILENAME=/var/log/hp-tools_install.log
LSPOPTIONS=-v -f
CMALOCALHOSTRWCOMMSTR=private
CMALOCALHOSTROCOMMSTR=public
CMANOTAINTEDKERNEL=YES
CMASTARTSTORAGEAGENT=yes
CMASTARTWEBAGENT=yes
ADMIN-GROUP="admingroup"
OPERATOR-GROUP="opergroup"
USER-GROUP="usergroup";"hpshm"
ANONYMOUS-ACCESS="NO"
IP-BINDING="YES"
IP-BINDING-LIST=""
IP-RESTRICTED-LOGINS="NO"
LOCALACCESS-ENABLED=YES
LOCALACCESS-TYPE="Anonymous"
Now, that PSP 8.40 switched to the new HPSUM installer we have no way left of preconfiguring these items for our silent installs, the /inputfile parameter seems to have a different use.
I've found a configuration file that seems to contain these items called ldu_config.xml. but editing it from a bash script is somewhat difficult. is there any way to specify a plain file as the parameter ?

Re: PSP 8.40 & HPSUM inputfile parameter
Additionally, I liked the ability to install the PSP from text-mode only, without requiring a GUI.
While this sort of configuration may be acceptable (or even a step forward) for Windows, IMHO, it's a step backwards for Linux.
Gerardo, please keep this thread updated with any information you may find. Thanks!

Re: PSP 8.40 & HPSUM inputfile parameter
./hpsum /f bpXXXXX.xml /silent
(Replace bpXXXXXX.xml for the matching file found in the distribution .tar.gz, in 8.40 it is bp000683.xml.)
That will install all the packages you selected to be installed by changing its matching line on the .xml file.
For example if you don't want to install the tg3 drivers supplied with PSP (they are a pain in the neck to maintain whenever you upgrade the kernel and the RedHat drivers work as well).
You would change:
for
you can use sed for that purpose.
Let me know if you need an example.
As for the switch to ldu_config.xml, the only way out i see is editing it somehow, perhaps using a XML parser of sort.
I'll report back with my findings.
Another option would be to edit, at least to configure SMH, to edit /opt/hp/hpsmh/conf/smhpd.xml after PSP is installed

Re: PSP 8.40 & HPSUM inputfile parameter
I took a look at this problem and found there were a number of parameters left out of the inputfile in the PSP 8.40 release. I've added these to the next PSP release (8.50) version of HPSUM so the inputfile should work just as it did with the old LDU once this is released. For the PSP 8.40, there are two ways to get this to work: 1) modify the ldu_config.xml file as you mention originally or; 2) use the GUI for configuration. I know you stated you were trying to do this from kickstart so the only option available for now is option 1.
I'm sorry you had to run into this bug and hope it won't deter you from using HPSUM in future releases.
Regards,

Re: PSP 8.40 & HPSUM inputfile parameter
thanks a lot for the hint to these options for the input file. Just some remarks: First, these parameters are not part of the documentation I know of. neither hpsum_help_en.htm, nor CLIHelp.txt provide info about these parameters (CLIHelp.txt has no info, hpsum_help_en.htm, see "Parameter List", has a subset of parameters). Second: README.linux.txt doesn't mention hpsum_help_en.html. Third: Maybe you can "clean" up the quirky mix of dedicated parameters (one for each command line parameter) and the accumulated parameter "OPTIONS=" in version 8.50 :-] .
Thanks in Advance and Greetings, Thomas

Re: PSP 8.40 & HPSUM inputfile parameter
# cat HDUCONFIG.cfg | recode ascii/b64..utf-8 > my_HDUCONFIG.cfg
Afterwards you can apply changes to that file so there's no need sed'ing ldu_config.xml. I didn't test, wether it works in non-encoded format or if you have to recode it back again to work. Hopefully I can test that myself tomorrow. Greetz, Thomas
