Parameter FORCESOFTWARE FORCEBUNDLE DOWNGRADE REWRITE REBOOTALLOWED REBOOTMESSAGE REBOOTDELAY COMPONENTSLIST BUNDLESLIST ALLOWUPDATEBUNDLE SKIPTARGET IGNOREERRORS Description Possible values Forces updates to software components. YES, NO Enables you to override or downgrade YES, NO an existing installation of components in the selected bundle. Downgrade to an earlier version of firmware for multi-node devices such as hard drives and array controllers. (Applies to firmware only.) YES, NO Rewrite the same version of firmware only for multi-node devices such as hard drives and array controllers. (Applies to firmware only.) YES, NO Enables you to reboot, if required. YES, NO Create a message to be displayed prior to rebooting. Any string (not exceeding 256 characters) Delay before rebooting. Time in seconds Limit the list of components to be updated. Component names with file extensions (.exe, .rpm, or .scexe) Limit the list of bundle xml files to be Bundle file names filtered. This is a filter switch and enables you to install newer versions of components defined in a PSP, ISP, or bundle. YES, NO This parameter enables these components to replace the older versions of the same component that might have shipped with the bundles. Defines the behavior when a remote YES, NO node has an existing HP SUM session in progress. Use this parameter to skip the host if an existing HP SUM session already exists. A value of NO overrides the session in progress and reinitializes the installation framework on the remote host. NOTE: If an HP SUM session discovers a remote node is running HP SUM locally, HP SUM ignores the SKIPTARGET command and skips the remote node. Causes the installation to continue and ServerNotFound, BadPassword, ignore errors. FailedDependencies The ServerNotFound option can be used to bypass inactive or unavailable remote hosts when deploying firmware or software to multiple remote hosts at the same time. Use FailedDependencies to ignore any failed dependencies and proceed with the ones that are ready to be installed. Input files 51
