NOTE: All arguments and information enclosed in brackets are optional. For a full description
of the arguments that the Smart Components accept, see the “Command line arguments” (page
11)section.
If no command line arguments are included with the command, the component GUI appears.
Command line arguments
The following table lists the arguments recognized by Smart Components.
Table 2 Command line arguments
DescriptionCommand line argument
Displays command line Help information./h[elp]
Identical to the /help argument./?
Specifies whether the GUI is suppressed or displayed. Use
this argument when scripting the Smart Components to
/s[ilent]
suppress the GUI. If this argument is omitted from the
command line, the GUI is displayed.
When used with the /silent command, this argument
installs component in one of the following ways:
/f[orce]
• If the component is already installed and current, it
reinstalls itself and the installed version number remains
the same.
• If a newer version of the component is already installed,
the component installs itself and downgrades the
component to the older version number.
If this argument is omitted from the command line, the
installation is not forced.
When used with the /silent command, this argument
causes the target system to reboot if the installation requires
/r[eboot]
a reboot to complete installation. If this argument is omitted
from the command line, the server must be rebooted
manually for the installation to take effect.
The reboot only takes place if no installation errors occur.

The following table lists examples of command line input for single component installation.
NOTE: Although lowercase letters are used in these examples, either uppercase or lowercase
