HP SVA V2.0 Software Installation Guide

A HP SVA Installation Command Options Reference
A.1 HP SVA Installation Command Options Reference
This appendix documents the options to the load_rpms and install commands, which are
used in Section 1.4.3.
A.1.1 load_rpms Command
The load_rpms command only installs files that are not installed already or over an older
version. It's safe to do this more than once.
The following list summarizes the command options.
--xc=<directory>
Takes the RPMs that SVA normally installs from the XC DVD
from the specified directory on the hard drive. If they are not
present in this directory, this option looks in appropriate
subdirectories by assuming the directory is the root of an XC
DVD. If the directory is not specified, the XC DVD is used.
--kernel=<directory>
Takes the kernel RPMs that SVA normally installs from the XC
DVD from the specified directory on the hard drive. If the
directory is specified, the option gets the kernel RPMs either
from the specified directory or an appropriate subdirectory by
assuming the directory is the root of an XC DVD.
If the directory is not specified, this option gets the RPMs from
the --xc directory (if that was specified), or the XC DVD.
A.1.2 install Command
The following list summarizes the command options.
--verbose
Produces more detailed messages about what is going on during the installation.
--force
Installs RPMs even if the same version of the RPM is already installed.
