If you don't want it to print the file listing, why are you using specifically telling cpio to do so with -v (verbose)? I'm not sure how you had trouble finding this. Forget Google if you started by reading the man/info page or the

Remove the -v to get rid of the list and add --quiet (to prevent the summary of blocks copied from being printed).
EDIT: What you wanted was this:
Code:
find /u/temp -print | cpio -oBHcrc --quiet >/u/test.cpio
... that did the trick. 
I tried similar but had it turned around like this and cpio complained too many arguments:
