SPP automatic instalation on a batch of servers

[yaro137]

What would be the way of deploying the full SPP to a number of machines remotely? I see there is a powershell module but not sure if this can be used. Any alternatives?

start HPSUM on your PC and discover all the servers.

Thanks. I was hoping for more kind of scripy solution :) I found HPSUM not fully reliable.

Currently we don't have any PowerShell offerings on SPP functionality but we will consider your request in our bucket for future releases of PowerShell.

Thanks,

Powershell function for automated update would be awsome. Perhaps it could leverage HP SUM CLI mode with parameters like swappackages folder path, reboot, software, hardware update or both.

Not to start a new topic on the sam ething. I tried using smartupdate.bat as it seems to be the new script included in the recent SPP to instal firmware on a remote machine. The batch is located on a local system from which I'm trying to run a remote installation. I pass the location of the batch in my powershell code to be triggered by Start-Process and give it the parameters as below where I assume packages is now the folder that used to be swappackages in previous versions.

$arg =  "/s target_machine_name /v /current_credential /use_location "\\storage\x$\SPP\packages" /use_latest /allow_non_bundle_components /use_ams /use_wmi /use_snmp /on_failed_dependency:Omit_component /rom_only /logdir "c:\log""

Start-process smartupdate.bat $arg -wait

However I can't see anything happening after running the command. Can someone please spot where I'm going wrong?

I forgot to add that I'm copying smartupdate.bat on the target machine.
