You utter foul words, summoning one demon from the chaos of the Abyss. You choose the demon’s type, which must be one of challenge rating 5 or lower, such as a shadow demon or a barlgura. The demon appears in an unoccupied space you can see within range, and the demon disappears when it drops to 0 hit points or when the spell ends.
Thus for Summon Elemental the vial itself really is an integral, noninterchangeable part of the spell, whereas for Summon Greater Demon both the vial and the blood can be substituted by other things. It is reasonable to assume that a component pouch contains spare vials, less so that it has a constant supply of fresh humanoid blood, while a ...
Summon Greater Demon says: You utter foul words, summoning one demon from the chaos of the Abyss. You choose the demon’s type, which must be one of challenge rating 5 or lower, such as a shadow demon or a barlgura.

A demon can be forced to disclose its name if charmed. There are two ways of reading this into your question: This specific rule overrides the general rules of Summon Greater Demon, and tells us that the only way to get a demon to disclose its true name is by charming it. The demon under your control via the casting of the spell is not ...
The Summon Greater Demon spell is especially effective when the summoned demon's true name is known: At the end of each of the demon’s turns, it makes a Charisma saving throw. The demon has disadvantage on this saving throw if you say its true name.
Assuming that you use summon greater demon (Xanathar's Guide to Everything, p. 166), and on your next turn, you still have the "control" over him granted by summon greater demon. Now I want to use charm monster ( Xanathar's Guide to Everything , p. 151) on the demon, so that (assuming I succeed) if I lose my concentration on the summon greater ...
Part of the description of the summon greater demon spell states (XGtE, p. 166): If you stop concentrating on the spell before it reaches its full duration, an uncontrolled demon doesn't disappear for 1d6 rounds if it still has hit points. The summon greater demon spell's duration is listed as "Concentration, up to 1 hour". A round in-game is ...
The control from summon greater demon necessitates a saving throw and is part of the spell description. It is therefore covered by Magic Resistance. The only way to get around this would be to cause the demon to have disadvantage (therefore cancelling out any advantage). One such way is by knowing the demon's true name.
The spell Summon Greater Demon is quite clear on where your summoned demon appears at. The demon appears in an unoccupied space you can see within range... The wording of this spell is very similar to the rest of the spells that summon things in regards to where the summoned creature materializes at.
In the D&D 5e game I am DMing, one of my players (level 15 fiend patron warlock) successfully cast dominate monster on a hezrou and compelled it to tell the player its true name.
