argument

Description

/reboot_message “reboot

message”

This argument displays the specified reboot message on remote consoles

connected to the server you want to reboot. You must use this argument with
the /reboot option or the argument is ignored.

/rebooted

timeout_in_seconds

This argument delays the reboot of the server for the length of time specified

by the timeout_in_seconds variable. You must use this argument with the
/reboot option, or the argument is ignored. Acceptable values are between

15 and 3600.
The default timeout value is 15 seconds for Microsoft® Windows® operating

systems and 60 seconds for Linux.
For Linux, the Reboot Delay time is converted from seconds to minutes, and

any value under a full minute, 59 seconds or less, rounds to the next minute.

reboot: The /reboot_always option is selected or given as a command-

This argument specifies an already defined group name in the HP SUM GUI.

BladeSystem c-Class Onboard Administrators.

/current_credential This argument enables the credentials of the local host to be used as the

credentials to access the targets instead of providing the username and

/target "netAddress"

This argument is the IP address or the DNS name of a HP BladeSystem c-

Onboard Administrator. When specifying the IP address, you can use either
the IPv4 or IPv6 format.

/logdir "path"

This argument enables you to redirect the output from HP SUM or the HP

BladeSystem c-Class Onboard Administrator flash utility to a different
directory than the default location.

For Windows® components, the default location is

%SYSTEMDRIVE%\CPQSYSTEM\hp\log<netAddress> and the redirected
location is <path>\hp\log\<netAddress>.

For Linux components, the default location is /var/hp/log/<netAddress>

and the redirected location is <path>/hp/log/<netAddress>.
