Description

Reboot options

If the following conditions are met, this argument causes
the server (or host server in a remote installation) to reboot:

/r[eboot]

•

The /reboot option is selected or given as a
command-line argument.

•

All components selected for installation are successfully
installed.

•

At least one of the installed components requires a
reboot to complete its installation.

Displays the specified reboot message on remote consoles
connected to the server that you want to reboot. You must

/reboot_message "reboot message"

use this argument with the /reboot option, or the
argument is ignored.

Delays the reboot of the server for the length of time that
the timeout_in_seconds variable specifies. You must

/reboot_delay timeout_in_secs

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.

If the following conditions are met, this argument forces
the server to reboot:

/reboot_always

•

The /reboot_always option is selected or given as
a command-line argument.

•

All components selected for installation are successfully
installed.

Simulating HP SUM

This argument simulates the installation for a test run.
Nothing is installed.

/dryrun

Description

Nodes

Use this argument to log in to the remote nodes by using
the user ID.

/user

<username> or /username <username>

The user name needs to belong to the root or administrator
group.

Use this argument to use this password for the user ID
specified in the /user parameter (except for the OA
node). The password is used to log in to remote nodes.

/password

<password>

HP SUM also supports passwd and pwd

Use root (super user) username to start a session, and
inventory and update components when the credentials

/su_username

specified in /username and /passwd do not have root
privileges to update components.

/su_username

cannot be used with /use_sudo access

level.

NOTE:

Specifying /targettype linux reduces

inventory time for deployments. This is an optional
command line argument.
