Command Line Syntax

The general command line syntax for single-component installation is:

cpxxxxxx [/h[elp]] [/?] [/s[ilent]] [/f[orce]] [/r[eboot]]

CPxxxxxx

is the file name of the Smart Component; the Xs represent the component number.

NOTE: All arguments and information enclosed in brackets are optional. Refer to the “Command Line
Arguments” section for a full description of the arguments the Smart Components accept.

If no command line arguments are passed on the command line, the component GUI appears.

Command Line Arguments

The following table lists the arguments recognized by Smart Components.

Table 2-6: Command Line Arguments

Command Line Argument

Description

/h[elp]

Displays command line Help information.

/?

Is identical to the

/help

argument.

/s[ilent]

Specifies whether the GUI appears. Use this argument when
scripting the Smart Components to suppress the GUI. If this
argument is omitted from the command line, the GUI appears.

/f[orce]

When used with the

/silent

command, installs the component in

one of the following ways:

If the component is already installed and current, it will be
reinstalled, and the installed version number will remain the
same.

If a newer version of the component is already installed, the
component will install itself and downgrade the originally
installed component to the older version number.

If this argument is omitted from the command line, the installation is
not forced.

/r[eboot]

When used with the

/silent

command, causes the target system

to reboot if the installation requires a reboot to complete the
installation. If this argument is omitted from the command line, the
server must be rebooted manually for the installation to take effect.

The reboot will only take place if no installation errors occur.
