Nodes /current_credential /oa_username /oa_password Log files /logdir "path" /v[erbose] or /veryv[erbose] Generating reports /report Description If the node name includes spaces, make sure you enclose the name in quotation marks, " ". NOTE: /targettype is an optional command line argument. Use /targettype and /target together. Enables the credential of the local host to be used as the credential to access the nodes instead of providing the user name and password explicitly for each node. The assumption is that the current credential is valid for the nodes being accessed. (Applies to Windows only) This argument provides the user name credential for OA associated with VC specified with the target command-line parameter. Only one set of OA credentials can be specified with command-line parameters. You can add multiple VC nodes to command-line parameters with the target parameter only if the credentials of OAs associated with specified VCs are the same. You do not need to provide an OA network address associated with VC. HP SUM queries it from a specified VC node. To update multiple VCs with different user names and passwords, or VCs with OAs that have different credentials, use the corresponding input files OAUID and OAPWD. Provides the password credential for OA associated with VC specified with the "node" command-line parameter. Only one set of OA credentials can be specified with command-line parameters.

Sets the verbosity level for the HP SUM execution log file, hpsum_execution_log__.log. It increases the level of detail that is retained in the log file. The default value is normal verbosity. Description Generates a report listing of the node summary and describes how the components in the repository affect the node; for example, whether each component applies to the node. The report is generated in HTML and XML with Command-line interface 43
