HP SUM with Onboard Administrator requires a user ID and password to log in. The user ID must be an
Administrator equivalent ID and not an operator or user equivalent level ID.
NOTE:
All arguments and information enclosed in brackets are optional. The arguments may
be prefixed with either a '-' or '/' character. These examples show only the '/'.
On Windows® operating systems, use a slash (/) before each argument. On Linux operating systems, use
a hyphen (-) before each argument.
If no command-line arguments are executed on the command line, the component GUI appears.
NOTE:
Command line syntax does not support double-byte character sets. Any messages
entered through the command line using a double-byte character set will not be displayed
correctly.
