SUM modes

SUM supports local and remote deployments. SUM runs in Windows and Linux in online and offline mode.

GUI

An easy-to-use browser-based GUI that enables deployment and maintenance of system software and firmware components to multiple systems in a single session.

CLI

The CLI enables you to script custom installations. This mode might not support all functions of the GUI and interactive CLI. For more information, see the Smart Update Manager CLI Guide.

Inputfile CLI

You can call a text file that contains all the SUM parameters you want to use. For more information, see the Smart Update Manager CLI Guide.

Interactive CLI

The Interactive CLI allows you to script most of the commands that are available in the SUM GUI. Functionality available from the interactive CLI includes adding nodes and baselines, deploying nodes, collecting log files, and generating reports. For more information, see the Smart Update Manager CLI Guide.
