Introduction
Dell OpenManage Server Administrator (OMSA) provides a comprehensive, one-to-one systems management solution through either an integrated Web browser-based graphical user interface (GUI) or a command line interface (CLI). Server Administrator is designed for system administrators to manage systems locally and remotely on a network. It allows system administrators to manage their entire network by providing a comprehensive one-to-one systems management.
In the context of Server Administrator, a system refers to a stand-alone system, a system with attached network storage units in a separate chassis, or a Blade system consisting of one or more server modules in a modular enclosure.
Server Administrator provides easy-to-use management and administration of local and remote systems through a comprehensive set of integrated management services. Server Administrator is the sole installation on the system being managed and is accessible both locally and remotely from the Server
Administrator home page. Server Administrator enables you to access remotely monitored systems by dial-in, LAN, or wireless connections.
The configuration features enable Server Administrator to perform essential tasks described in detail in the following sections. This CLI guide documents all the commands that apply to Server Administrator and Storage Management.
The reporting and viewing features enable retrieval of the overall health status for systems on the network. You can view information about voltage, temperature, fan's revolutions per minute (RPM), memory functioning, and many other critical details at the component level. You can also see a detailed account of the cost of ownership (COO) about the system, retrieve version information about the BIOS, firmware, operating system, and all installed software.
NOTE: The CLI does not use the Server Administrator Web server. For concerns on encryption, from the CLI, run the omconfig system webserver action=stop command to turn off the Web server. The
Web server starts automatically after a reboot, so you must run this command each time the system
NOTE: After installing Dell OpenManage Server Administrator, ensure that you log out and log in to reset the path to access Dell OpenManage CLI utilities.

Accessing The Windows Command Prompt To Run CLI
Commands
If you are running the Microsoft Windows operating system, use the 32-bit command prompt to run a
Server Administrator CLI command. Access the 32-bit command prompt using one of the following methods:
• Click Start → Programs → Accessories → Command Prompt.
• Click Start → Run and type cmd.exe.
NOTE: Do not type command in the Run dialog box to launch a command line window; this activates the MS-DOS emulator command.com, which has environment variable limitations that can cause subtle problems with CLI.
Primary CLI Commands
The commands that carry out the functions of Server Administrator are:
• omconfig
• omhelp
• omreport
The omconfig command writes values that you assign to an object's properties. You can specify values for warning thresholds on components or prescribe actions that the system must perform when a certain warning or failure event occurs. You can also use the omconfig command to assign specific values to the system's asset information parameters, such as the purchase price of the system, the system's asset tag, or the system's location.
12
The omhelp command displays short-text help for CLI commands. The shorthand equivalent of omhelp is the command for which you want help followed by -?. For example, to display help for the omreport command, type one of the following commands:
• omhelp omreport
• omreport -?
The omreport command displays reports of the management information of the system.
NOTE: For an overall summary of the CLI commands, type omhelp.
NOTE: The omupdate commands are no longer supported in Server Administrator and are replaced by Dell Update Package or the Server Update Utility commands. To update the different components, download the Dell Update Package and run the <package name> /s [/f command. For more information on the corresponding CLI syntax, see the Dell Update Packages
for Operating Systems User’s Guide or the Dell OpenManage Server Update Utility User’s Guide at dell.com/support/manuals.

CLI Error Checking And Error Messages
When you type CLI commands, the CLI checks these commands for the correct syntax. If you type a command and the command is executed successfully, a message is displayed, stating that the command is successful.
Success Messages
When you type a successful omconfig command, data for that component is displayed.
The following omconfig command examples displays valid CLI commands and their success messages:
Table 1. Commands And Messages
Command omconfig chassis temps index=0 warnthresh= default omconfig chassis biossetup attribute=numlock setting=on omconfig system assetinfo info=depreciation duration=6
Message
Temperature probe warning threshold value(s) set successfully.
BIOS setup configured successfully.
Change will take effect after the next reboot.
omconfig system assetinfo info=depreciation duration=6
NOTE: Due to limitations, some commands do not alter the system settings even though the commands are executed successfully. This is an expected behavior.
Failure Messages
CLI failure messages provide reasons why some commands do not succeed. Some common reasons why commands fail include syntax errors and components that are not present. Many error messages provide syntax information required to execute the command successfully.
13
If you execute a command for a component or feature that is not present in the system configuration, the error message states that the component is not present.
The following are examples of some failure messages:
Command
Message omconfig chassis volts index=3 minwarnthresh=3.3000
Error! Number with up to 3 digits after decimal point expected, read 3.3000
The value given by the command specifies more than 3 digits after the decimal point. A valid minimum warning threshold value for volts contains up to 3 digits after the decimal point.
Revised command omconfig chassis volts index=3 minwarnthresh=3.300
When you type the revised command with three decimal points, you receive another error message:
Message Error! This voltage probe min warning threshold must be between 11.400 and 12.480.
Revised command omconfig chassis volts index=3 minwarnthresh=11.500
Message
Voltage probe warning threshold(s) set successfully.
Scripting And Comparing Using CLI
The Server Administrator CLI allows administrators to write batch programs for the operating system. For an enterprise with many systems, an administrator could write a configuration script that specifies the warning thresholds for each major component of a system and also specifies a set of actions that the administrator wants each system to take in case of a warning or failure event. In most critical cases, the administrator could write a script so that the system shuts down to prevent damage. The administrator could then distribute and execute the script to many managed systems at the same time. Such a scenario facilitates configuring any number of new systems acquired by a company and makes implementation of new system administration policies easier across many existing systems that require re-configuration.
A similar scenario is used to populate a large number of newly acquired systems with detailed asset information. Much of the information are the same, such as the manufacturer or lessor of the system, whether support for the system is outsourced, name of the company providing insurance for the system, method of depreciation, and so on. Any variable that is common to all systems is scripted, sent to all managed systems, and executed. Asset information that is unique to a system is scripted as a group and sent to that managed node for execution. For example, a script could specify values for all unique variables such as the owner, primary user phone number, asset tag, and so on. Scripts to populate unique values would set all unique variables at once rather than one by one through the system's command line.
In many cases, the CLI allows a user with a very well-defined task in mind to retrieve information about the system rapidly. If a user wants to review a comprehensive summary of all system components and save that summary information to a file for comparison with later system states, the CLI is ideal.
Using CLI commands, administrators can write batch programs or scripts to execute at specific times.
When these programs are executed, they can capture reports on components of interest, such as fan
RPMs during periods of highest system usage compared with the same measurements at times of lowest system usage. Command results are routed to a file for later analysis. Reports can help administrators
14
gain information that are used to adjust usage patterns, to justify purchasing new system resources, or to focus on the health of a problem component.
Command Syntax Overview
Commands vary in complexity. The simplest command has only command level 1. The omhelp command is a simple command. When you type omhelp, a list of the main CLI commands is displayed.
The next level of complexity includes commands that contain command levels 1 and 2. All of the about commands are examples of command level 2 complexity. The omconfig about and omreport about commands display a very brief summary. The summary shows version information for the systems management software installed on the system; for example, Server Administrator 1.x.
Some commands have command level 1 and command level 2 and one name=value pair. Consider the following example command that instructs Server Administrator for more details about the environment for Server Administrator: omreport about details=true
In this example, command level 1 is omreport, command level 2 is about, and the name= value pair is details=true.
Many commands use command level 1, command level 2, and command level 3, but do not require any parameters (name=value pairs). Most omreport commands are of this type. For example, the following command displays a list of alert actions that are configured for components on a system.
omreport system alertaction
The most complex commands have all three command levels and can have multiple name=value pairs.
The following is an example of two name=value pairs: omconfig system assetinfo info=depreciation duration=3
The following is an example of nine name=value pairs: omconfig system assetinfo info=acquisition purchasecost=<n> waybill=<n> installdate=<mmddyy> purchasedate=<mmddyy> ponum=<n> signauth=<text> expensed=<yes>|no> costcenter=<text>
In each chapter of this document, command syntax and other information about the commands are formatted using any of the following fields as appropriate: command level 1 command level 2 command level 3 name=value pair 1 name=value pair 2

Using The omhelp Command
The omhelp command and its equivalent, <command> -?, accesses the detailed help-text interface of
Command Line Interface (CLI). You can get help at several levels of detail.
Each fully-qualified CLI command may have a variable number of distinct parts: the command
(command level 1), one or more subcommands (command level 2 and command level 3, if present), and one or more name= value pair(s).
By appending -?(space-dash-question mark) to any command, you can get help for that command.
Example Help Commands
When you type omconfig -?, you get general help about the omconfig command. The help at this level lists the available subcommands for omconfig:
• about
• preferences
• chassis
• system
When you type omconfig system -?, the CLI help lists all the subcommands available for omconfig system:
• alertaction
• alertlog
• assetinfo
• cmdlog
• esmlog
• events
• platformevents
• pedestinations
• recovery
• shutdown
• thrmshutdown
• webserver
Also parse the omconfig system assetinfo command as follows:
<command level 1 command level 2 command level 3> <name=value pair 1>
[name=value pair 2]
where command levels 1, 2, and 3 are represented by omconfig system assetinfo, name=value pair 1 is represented by info=depreciation , and name=value pair 2 is represented by method=straightline.
To set the depreciation method to straight line, type: omconfig system assetinfo info=depreciation method=straightline
The CLI responds with the following message:
Asset information set successfully.
When you type omconfig system assetinfo -?, the help that displays provides information about assigning values for the name and option fields. Partial results for the request omconfig system assetinfo
-? are as follows: assetinfo Set asset information.
For one info value, specify one or more optional parameter(s).
The following table displays the optional parameters for info=acquisition:
Table 2. Optional Parameters

omreport: Viewing System Status Using
The Instrumentation Service
3
The omreport command allows you to see detailed information about the system components. You can also retrieve summaries for many system components at one time, or get details about a specific component. This chapter shows you how to get reports with the level of detail that you want.
Commands documented in this chapter vary in whether they define the fields that appear in the results of a particular omreport command. The fields are defined only if they have a special or less familiar use.
As with all other components, use omreport to view component status, and omconfig to manage a
component. For information on configuring components for management, see omconfig: Managing
Components Using The Instrumentation Service
.
Use the omreport commands to get information you need to execute an omconfig command. For example, to edit the minimum temperature for a warning event on a temperature probe, you must know the index of the probe you want to configure. Use omreport chassis temps to display a list of probes and their indexes.
The omreport commands available on the system depend on the system configuration. The following table lists the systems on which the omreport commands are applicable:

Conventions For Parameter Tables
When listing the parameters that a command can take, the parameters are listed in alphabetical order instead of the order in which they appear in the command line interface.
The symbol |, often called pipe, is the logical exclusive or operator. For example, enable | disable means you can enable or disable the component or feature, but you cannot simultaneously enable and disable the component or feature.
Command Summary Of The omreport Command
Depending on the system configuration, the results of the omreport command vary from one system to another. Data displays for installed components only.
NOTE: When a system includes an external chassis, the displayed results vary by operating system.
On SUSE Linux Enterprise Server and Red Hat Enterprise Linux systems, the omreport commands display external chassis information in a separate section after the main chassis information. On
Microsoft Windows systems, data about the external chassis does not appear in the omreport output.
The following table provides a high-level summary of the omreport command. The column titled
Command level 1 displays the omreport command at its most general use. Command level 2 shows the major objects or components that you can view using omreport (about, chassis, storage, and system).
Command level 3 lists the specific objects and components to view reports. User privilege required refers to the type of privilege you need to run the command, where U = User, P = Power User, and A =
Administrator. Use is a very general statement about the actions performed using omreport.

The following fields are defined for a cache present on a particular microprocessor. If the cache is internal to the processor, the fields do not appear in the cache report:
37
• Speed
• Cache Device Supported Type
• Cache Device Current Type
• External Socket Name
NOTE: Due to the limitations of certain operating systems (for example, VMware ESXi), certain features are not available with this release of OpenManage Server Administrator.
The following table displays the fields that are displayed for each cache on a particular processor:
Table 10. Fields And Description
Field
Status
Level

Max Size
Installed Size
Type
Location
Write Policy
Description
Reports whether a specific cache on the processor is enabled or disabled.
Refers to a primary or secondary cache. Primary-level cache is a memory bank built into the processor. Secondary-level cache is a staging area that feeds the primary cache. A secondary-level cache is built into the processor or resides in a memory chipset outside the processor. The internal processor cache is referred to as a Level 1 (or
L1). L2 cache is the external cache in a system with an Intel Pentium processor, and it is the second level of cache that is accessed. The names L1 and L2 are not indicative of where the cache is physically located (internal or external), but describe which cache is accessed first
(L1, therefore internal).
Refers to the rate at which the cache can forward data from the main memory to the processor.
Maximum amount of memory that the cache can hold in kilobytes.
Actual size of the cache.
Indicates whether the cache is primary or secondary.
Location of the cache on the processor or on a chipset outside the processor.
Describes how the cache deals with a write cycle. In a write-back policy, the cache acts like a buffer. When the processor starts a write cycle, the cache receives the data and stops the cycle. The cache then writes the data back to the main memory when the system bus is available.
In a write-through policy, the processor writes through the cache to the main memory. The write cycle does not complete until the data is stored into the main memory.
Associativity
Refers to the way in which main memory content is stored on the cache.
• A fully associative cache allows any line in main memory to store at any location in the cache.
• A n-way set-associative cache directly maps n specific lines of memory to the same n lines of cache. For example, line 0 of any page in memory is stored in line 0 of cache memory.
38
Field
Cache Device Supported
Type
Cache Device Current Type
External Socket Name Silk
Screen Name
Error Correction Type
Description
Type of static random access memory (SRAM) that the device can support.
Type of the currently installed SRAM that the cache is supporting.
Name printed on the system board next to the socket.
Identifies the type of error checking and correction (ECC) that this memory can perform. Examples are correctable ECC or uncorrectable
ECC.

Use the omreport system thrmshutdown or omreport servermodule thrmshutdown command to view the properties configured for a thermal shutdown action.
The three properties that display for thermal shutdown are disabled, warning, or failure. If the CLI displays the following message, the thermal shutdown feature has been disabled:
Thermal protect shutdown severity: disabled
If the system is configured to shutdown when a temperature probe detects a warning or failure event, one of the following messages is displayed:
Thermal protect shutdown severity: warning
Thermal protect shutdown severity: failure
Omreport System Version Or Omreport Servermodule Version
Use the omreport system version or omreport servermodule version command to list the version numbers of the BIOS, firmware, systems management software, and operating system installed on the system. Type: omreport system version or omreport servermodule version

Omconfig: Managing Components Using
The Instrumentation Service
The omconfig command allows you to provide values that define warning events, configure alert actions, clear logs, and configure system shutdown, as well as perform other systems management tasks.
Examples of omconfig capabilities include:
• Administrator privilege to clear command, alert, and hardware logs
• Administrator privilege to configure and execute system shutdown
• Power user and administrator privilege to specify values for warning events on fans, voltage probes, and temperature probes
• Power user and administrator privilege to set alert actions in case of a warning or failure event from intrusion, fans, voltage probes, and temperature probes
For more information on using the omconfig command to view and manage cost of ownership information (assetinfo), see
Omconfig System Or Servermodule Assetinfo Editing Cost Of Ownership
.
Often, you must use the omreport commands to get the information required to execute an omconfig command. For example, to edit the minimum temperature for a warning event on a temperature probe, you must know the index of the probe. Use the omreport chassis temps or omreport mainsystem temp command to display a list of probes and their indexes. For more information on using the omreport command, see
Omreport: Viewing System Status Using The Instrumentation Service .
The following table displays the system availability for the omconfig command:

Conventions For Parameter Tables
When listing the parameters that a command can take, the parameters are listed in alphabetical order instead of the order in which they appear in the command line interface.
61
The symbol |, often called pipe, is the logical exclusive or operator. For example, enable | disable means you can enable or disable the component or feature, but you cannot simultaneously enable and disable the component or feature.
omconfig Command Summary
The following table provides a high-level summary of the omconfig command. The columns titled
Command level 2 and Command level 3 list the major arguments that are used with omconfig. User
privilege required refers to the type of privilege you need to run the command, where U = User, P =
Power User, and A = Administrator. Use is a very general statement about the actions that are performed using omconfig.
NOTE: Although the following table lists all possible omconfig commands, the commands available on the system depend on the system configuration. If you try to get help or run a command for a component not installed on the system, Server Administrator displays a message that the component or feature is not found on the system.
NOTE: When CSIOR (Collect System Inventory on Restart) is disabled, omconfig does not allow to configure the BIOS settings.

Omconfig Chassis Currents Or Omconfig Mainsystem Currents
NOTE: This command is no longer available through Server Administrator.
Omconfig Chassis Fans Or Omconfig Mainsystem Fans
Use the omconfig chassis fans or omconfig mainsystem fans command to set fan probe warning thresholds. As with other components, you can view both warning and failure threshold values, but you cannot set failure thresholds. The system manufacturer sets the minimum and maximum failure thresholds.
Valid Parameters For Fan Warning Thresholds
The following table shows the valid parameters for setting fan warning thresholds:
Table 23. omconfig chassis fans or omconfig chassis fans name=value pair index= <n> warnthresh=default minwarnthresh=<n> maxwarnthresh=<n>
Description
Number of the probe or probe index (must specify).
Sets minimum and maximum warning thresholds to default.
Minimum warning threshold.
Maximum warning threshold.
Default Minimum And Maximum Warning Thresholds
NOTE: Systems that contain ESM3, ESM4, and BMC capabilities do not allow you to set warning threshold values to default values.
To set both the upper and lower fan warning threshold values to the recommended default value, type: omconfig chassis fans index=0 warnthresh=default or omconfig mainsystem fans index=0 warnthresh=default
You cannot default one value and set another. In other words, if you default the minimum warning threshold value, you are also selecting the default value for the maximum warning threshold value.
Specifying A Value For Minimum And Maximum Warning Thresholds
If you prefer to specify values for the fan probe warning thresholds, you must specify the number of the probe you are configuring and the minimum and/or maximum warning threshold values. In the following
83
example, the probe that is being configured is probe 0. The first command sets only the minimum threshold; the second sets the minimum and maximum thresholds: omconfig chassis fans index=0 minwarnthresh=4580 or omconfig mainsystem fans index=0 minwarnthresh=4580 omconfig chassis fans index=0 minwarnthresh=4580 maxwarnthresh=9160 or omconfig mainsystem fans index=0 minwarnthresh=4580 maxwarnthresh=9160
When you issue the command and the system sets the values you specify, the following message is displayed:
Fan probe warning threshold(s) set successfully.
NOTE: You cannot set the minimum and maximum warning thresholds for the fan probe on
PowerEdge 9G system.

Omconfig Chassis Info Or Omconfig Mainsystem Info
Use the omconfig chassis info or omconfig mainsystem info command to enter an asset tag name and a chassis name for the system. For a blade systems, enter asset tag names for modular components as well.
The following table displays the valid parameters for the command:
85
Table 25. Valid Parameters Of Omconfig Chassis Info Or Omconfig Mainsystem Info name=value pair index=<n> tag=<text> name=<text>
Description
Number of the chassis whose asset tag or name you are setting.
Asset tag in the form of alphanumeric text. Letters or numbers should not exceed
10 characters.
Name of the chassis.
In the following example, the asset tag for the main system chassis is being set to buildsys: omconfig chassis info index=0 tag=buildsys or omconfig mainsystem info index=0 tag=buildsys
Index 0 always defaults to the main system chassis. The following command omits index=n, but accomplishes the same: omconfig chassis info tag=buildsys or omconfig mainsystem info tag=buildsys
An acceptable command, when executed, results in the following message:
Chassis info set successfully.
For some chassis, you can assign a different name. You cannot rename the main system chassis. In the following example, the command renames chassis 2 from storscsi1 to storscsia: omconfig chassis info index=2 name=storscsia or omconfig mainsystem info index=2 name=storscsia
As with other commands, the CLI issues an error message if you do not have a chassis 2 (the main chassis=0). The CLI allows you to issue commands only for the system configuration you have.
Omconfig Chassis Leds Or Omconfig Mainsystem Leds
Use the omconfig chassis leds or omconfig mainsystem leds command to specify when to flash a chassis fault LED or chassis identification LED. This command also allows you to clear the LED of the system hard drive. The following table displays the valid parameters for the command.
Table 26. Valid Parameters Of Omconfig Chassis Leds Or Omconfig Mainsystem Leds name=value pair 1 name=value pair 2 index=<n> NA led=fault led=hdfault severity=warning | critical action=clear
Description
Number of the chassis where the LED resides
(defaults to chassis 0, main system chassis).
Select to flash the LED either when a warning event occurs or when a critical event occurs.
Sets the number of faults for the hard drive back to zero (0).
86
name=value pair 1 name=value pair 2 led=identify flash=off | on time-out=<n>
Description
Sets the chassis identification LED to off or on.
Set the time-out value for the LED to flash to a number of seconds.
Omconfig Chassis Memorymode Or Omconfig Mainsystem Memorymode
Use the omconfig chassis memorymode or omconfig mainsystem memorymode command to specify the redundancy mode to use for the system memory in case of memory errors.
Redundant memory enables a system to switch to other available memory modules if unacceptable errors are detected in the modules that the system is currently using. The omconfig chassis memorymode or omconfig mainsystem memorymode command allows you to disable redundancy; when you disable redundancy, you instruct the system not to switch to other available memory modules when the memory module the system is using begins to encounter errors. To enable redundancy, choose among spare, mirror, raid, and DDDC.
Spare mode disables a bank of system memory in which a correctable memory event is detected, enables the spare bank, and copies all the data from the original bank to the spare bank. Spare bank requires at least three banks of identical memory; the operating system does not recognize the spare bank.
Mirror mode switches to a redundant copy of memory when an uncorrectable memory event is detected.
After switching to the mirrored memory, the system does not switch back to the original system memory until the next reboot. The operating system does not recognize half of the installed system memory in this mode.
RAID mode provides an extra level of memory checking and error recovery at the expense of some memory capacity.
The DDDC mode enables double device data correction. This ensures data availability after hard failure of x4 DRAM.
NOTE: This command is applicable only on systems prior to PowerEdge 12G systems. On
PowerEdge 12G systems, memorymode is grouped under Memory Settings of the BIOS setup
group. For more information, see BIOS Setup Groups on PowerEdge 12G Systems .
To configure the attribute on systems prior to PowerEdge 12G, see the following table. The table displays the valid parameters for the command.
Table 27. Valid Parameters Of Omconfig Chassis Memorymode Or Omconfig Mainsystem Memorymode name=value pair 1 index=<n>
Description
Number of the chassis where the memory module resides (the default is chassis 0, the main system chassis).
redundancy=spare | mirror | disabled | raid5 | dddc spare: Disables the memory module that has a correctable memory event and copies the failing module’s data to a spare bank.
mirror: Switches the systems to a mirrored copy of the memory if the failing module has an
87
name=value pair 1 opmode=mirror | optimizer | advecc
Description uncorrectable memory event. In the mirror mode, the operating system does not switch back to the original module until the system reboot.
disabled: Indicates that the system is not to use other available memory modules if uncorrectable memory events are detected.
raid5: Method of system memory configuration.
This is logically similar to the RAID-5 mode used in hard drive storage systems. This memory mode provides an extra level of memory checking and error recovery at the expense of some memory capacity. The RAID mode supported is RAID level 5 striping with rotational parity.
dddc: The dddc mode enables double device data correction. This ensures data availability after hard failure of x4 DRAM.
mirror: Switches the systems to a mirrored copy of the memory if the failing module has an uncorrectable memory event. In the mirror mode, the operating system does not switch back to the original module until the system reboots.
optimizer: Enables the DRAM controllers to operate independently in 64-bit mode and provide optimized memory performance.
advanced ECC (advecc): Enables the two DRAM controllers to combine in 128-bit mode and provide optimized reliability. Memory that are not teamed by the controllers is not reported to the operating system.

Omconfig Chassis Temps Or Omconfig Mainsystem Temps
Use the omconfig chassis temps or omconfig mainsystem temps command to set warning thresholds for temperature probes. As with other components, you can view both warning and failure threshold values, but you cannot set failure threshold values. The system manufacturer sets the minimum and maximum failure threshold values.
NOTE: Threshold values that you can set vary from one system configuration to another.
Valid Parameters For Temperature Warning Thresholds
The following table displays the valid parameters for setting temperature warning thresholds:
Table 33. Valid Parameters For Omconfig Chassis Temps Or Omconfig Mainsystem Temps name=value pair index=<n> warnthresh=default minwarnthresh=<n> maxwarnthresh=<n>
Description
Number of the probe or probe index (specify).
Sets the minimum and maximum warning threshold values to default.
Sets the minimum warning threshold values (one decimal place).
Sets the maximum warning threshold values (one decimal place).
Setting Minimum And Maximum Warning Threshold Values
To set both the upper and lower temperature warning threshold values to the recommended default value, type: omconfig chassis temps index=0 warnthresh=default or omconfig mainsystem temps index=0 warnthresh=default
You cannot default one value and set another. In other words, if you set the minimum warning threshold value to the default value, you are also selecting the default value for the maximum warning threshold value.
NOTE: The capabilities for managing sensors vary by systems.
Specify A Value For Minimum And Maximum Warning Thresholds
To specify values for the temperature probe warning thresholds, you must specify the number of the probe you are configuring and the minimum and/or maximum warning threshold value. In the following example, the probe that is being configured is probe 4: omconfig chassis temps index=4 minwarnthresh=11.2 maxwarnthresh=58.7
or omconfig mainsystem temps index=4 minwarnthresh=11.2 maxwarnthresh=58.7
When you issue the command and the system sets the values you specify, the following message is displayed:
Temperature probe warning threshold(s) set successfully.
102
NOTE: On PowerEdge 9G system, you can set the temperature probe warning threshold only for ambient temperature.
Omconfig Chassis Volts Or Omconfig Mainsystem Volts
Use the omconfig chassis volts or omconfig mainsystem volts command to set voltage probe warning thresholds. As with other components, you can view both warning and failure threshold values, but you cannot set failure threshold values. The system manufacturer sets the minimum and maximum values for the failure thresholds.
Valid Parameters For Voltage Warning Thresholds
The following table displays the valid parameters for setting voltage warning threshold values.
NOTE: Threshold values that you can set vary from one system configuration to another.
Table 34. Valid Parameters Of Omconfig Chassis Volts Or Omconfig Mainsystem Volts name=value pair index=<n> warnthresh=default minwarnthresh=<n> maxwarnthresh=<n>
Description

103
The following example shows how to set the delimiter for separating data fields to asterisk: omconfig preferences cdvformat delimiter=asterisk
Omconfig Preferences Dirservice
Use the omconfig preferences dirservice command to configure the Active Directory service. The
<productname>oem.ini file is modified to reflect these changes. If the "adproductname" is not present in the <productname>oem.ini file then a <computername>-<computername> refers to the name of the computer running Server Administrator and <productname> refers to the name of the product defined in omprv32.ini. For Server Administrator, the product name is "omsa".
Therefore, for a computer named "myOmsa" running Server Administrator, the default name is
"myOmsa–omsa". This is the name of Server Administrator defined in Active Directory by using the snapin tool. This name must match the name for the application object in Active Directory in order to find user privileges.
NOTE: This command is applicable only on systems running the Windows operating system.
The following table displays the valid parameters for the command:
Table 35. Valid Parameters Of Omconfig Preferences Dirservice name=value pair Description prodname=<text> Specifies the product to which you want to apply the Active Directory configuration changes. prodname refers to the name of the product defined in omprv32.ini. For

Omconfig System Or Omconfig Servermodule
Use the omconfig system or omconfig servermodule commands to clear logs, determine how various shutdown actions occur, set initial values or edit values for cost of ownership information, and determine how to respond to a hung operating system.
Omconfig System Alertaction Or Omconfig Servermodule Alertaction
You can use the omconfig system alertaction or omconfig servermodule alertaction command to determine how Server Administrator responds when a component has a warning or failure event.
NOTE: Due to the limitations of certain operating systems (for example, VMware ESXi), certain features are not available with this release of OpenManage Server Administrator.
106
Defining Alert Actions
An alert action is an action that you specify for the system to take when specified conditions are met.
Alert actions determine in advance what actions to take for warning or failure events on intrusion, fans, temperatures, voltages, power supplies, memory, and redundancy.
For example, if a fan probe on the system reads a fan RPM of 300 and your minimum warning threshold value for that fan probe is 600 RPM, then the system generates a fan probe warning. Alert action settings determine how users are notified of this event. You can also configure alert actions for temperature, voltage, and probe readings that fall within the warning or failure range.
Syntax For Setting Alert Actions
Setting an alert action requires two name=value pairs. The first name=value pair is the event type. The second name=value pair is the action to take for this event. For example, in the command: omconfig system alertaction event=powersupply broadcast=true or omconfig servermodule alertaction event=powersupply broadcast=true
The event is a power supply failure and the action is to broadcast a message to all Server Administrator users.
Available Alert Actions
The following table displays the alert actions for each component that allows you to configure an alert action:
Table 39. Valid Parameters of Alert Actions For Warning and Failure Events
Alert Action Setting alert=true | false
Description true: Enables the system's console alert. When enabled, the monitor attached to the system from which you are running Server Administrator displays a visual alert message.
false: Disables the system's console alert.
broadcast=true | false true: Enables a message or alert to broadcast to all users who have an active terminal (or Remote
Desktop) session (Windows) or to operators that have an active shell on the local system (Linux.) false: Disables alert broadcasts.

There are four parameters in the name=value pair component of the omconfig system events command:
• Source
• Type
• Severity
• Index
Source
At present, source=snmptraps is a required name=value pair because SNMP is currently the only supported source of event notification for the system’s components.
omconfig system events source=snmptraps or omconfig servermodule events source=snmptraps
Type
Type refers to the name of the component(s) involved in the event. The following table displays the valid parameters for system event types.

Severity
In the context of configuring events, severity determines how severe an event is, before Server
Administrator notifies you of the event for a component type. When there are multiple components of the same type in the same system chassis, you can specify whether you want notification for event severity according to the number of the component by using the index=<n> parameter. The following table displays the valid severity parameters.
Table 45. System Event Severity Parameters
Command Result Description
Enables notification for informational, warning, and critical events.
Least restrictive form of event notification.
omconfig system events type=<component name> severity=info or omconfig servermodule events type=<component name> severity=info omconfig system events type=<component name> severity=warning or omconfig servermodule events type=<component name> severity=warning omconfig system events type=<component name> severity=critical or omconfig servermodule events type=<component name> severity=critical omconfig system events type=<component name> severity=none or omconfig
Enables notification for warning and critical events.
Enables notification for critical events only.
Disables event notification.
Omits informational event notification, for example, when a component returns to normal status.
Restrictive form of event notification.
No event notification.
115
Command servermodule events type=<component name> severity=none
Result Description
Index
Index refers to the number of an event for a particular component. Index is an optional parameter. When you omit the index parameter, events are configured for all components of the specified type, such as all fans. For example, when a system contains more than one fan, you can enable or disable event notification for a particular fan. An example command is as follows: omconfig system events type=fan index=0 severity=critical or omconfig servermodule events type=fan index=0 severity=critical
As a result of the example command, Server Administrator sends an SNMP trap only when the first fan in the system chassis (index 0) has reached critical fan RPMs.

Using The Storage Management Service
6
The CLI of Storage Management enables you to perform reporting, configuration, and management functions of Storage Management from an operating system command shell. The Storage Management
CLI also enables you to script command sequences.
The Storage Management CLI provides expanded options for the Dell OpenManage Server Administrator omreport and omconfig commands.
NOTE: For more information, see the Dell OpenManage Server Administrator Installation Guide and
Dell OpenManage Management Station Software Installation Guide. For more information on
Storage Management, see the Storage Management online Help or the Dell OpenManage Server
Administrator Storage Management User’s Guide .
CLI Command Syntax
Like all Server Administrator commands, the omreport and omconfig command syntax consists of specifying command levels. The first command level is the command name: omreport or omconfig.
Subsequent command levels provide a greater degree of specification regarding the type of object on which the command operates or the information that the command displays.
For example, the following omconfig command syntax has three levels: omconfig storage pdisk
The following table describes these command levels.
Table 62. Example Command Levels
Command level 1 omconfig
Command level 2 Command level 3 storage pdisk
Use
Specifies the command
Indicates the Server
Administrator service (in this case, Storage
Management) that implements the command
Specifies the type of object on which the command operates
131
Following the command levels, the omreport and omconfig command syntax may require one or more name=value pairs. The name=value pairs specify exact objects (such as a specific physical disk) or options
(such as blink or unblink) that the command implements.
For example, the following omconfig command syntax for blinking a physical disk has three levels and three name=value pairs: omconfig storage pdisk action=blink controller=id pdisk=<PDISKID> where PDISKID=<onnector:enclosureID:targetID | connector:targetID>
In this example, the id in controller=idis the controller number such that controller 1 is specified as controller=1.
Syntax Of Command Elements
The omreport and omconfig commands have multiple name=value pairs. These name=value pairs may include required, optional, and variable parameters. The following table describes the syntax used to indicate these parameters.
Table 63. Syntax For Name=Value Pairs
Syntax controller=id
Description
Indicates the controller ID as reported by the omreport storage controller command. To obtain these values, type omreport storage controller to display the controller
IDs and then type omreport storage pdisk controller=id to display the IDs for the physical disks attached to the controller.

• For SAS controllers: pdisk=connector:targetID where connectorID:targetID is the connector number and the slot number. For example, pdisk=0:2
Storage Management supplies default values for any of the other parameters that you do not specify.
170
For creating an encrypted virtual disk, specify secureflag=yes. You can create encrypted virtual disks only with SED drives.

[spanlength=<n>] | [secureflag=yes][vdpienabled=yes]
NOTE: If you are configuring RAID for SAS controllers with firmware version 6.1 and later, spanlength is an optional parameter (default=2). Spanlength is an even number and is lesser than or equal to half the number of physical disks specified in size.
NOTE: The vdpienabled is an optional argument and is valid only on PERC9 controllers. If set to yes a T10 Protection Information (PI) enabled virtual disk is created.
NOTE: For RAID 10 creation, PERC 9 firmware suggests the layout (number of array disks) with uneven span (spans with unequal number of array disks), though in a span the number of disks remains even. For example, for 32 disks, RAID 10 gets created with all the disks in one span and for
34 disks, RAID 10 gets created with 16 disks in one span and 18 disks in the other span.
Example Syntax:
You can create a RAID-5 virtual disk of 500 MB with a stripe size of 16 KB on a PERC 3/QC controller. The name of the virtual disk is vd1 and it resides on connector 0 of controller 1. Because the virtual disk is a
RAID-5, it requires at least three physical disks. In this example, you specify four physical disks. These are physical disks 0 through 3. The virtual disk has read-ahead, write–through caching, and cache I/O policies.
To create a virtual disk: omconfig storage controller action=createvdisk controller=1 raid=r5 size=500m pdisk= 0:0,0:1,0:2,0:3 stripesize=16kb cachepolicy=c readpolicy=ra writepolicy=wt
The only parameters that require specification are for the controller, RAID level, virtual disk size, and physical disk selection. Storage Management supplies default values for all other unspecified parameters.
For more information on read, write, and cache policies that are supported by the controller, see the Dell
OpenManage Online Help.

Working With CLI Command Results
Server Administrator Command Line Interface (CLI) users can use the command output in various ways.
This chapter explains how to save command output to a file and how to select a format for the command results that fits different objectives. The following table displays the systems on which omreport commands are applicable.
Table 125. System Availability For The omreport Command
Command Level 1 omreport
Command Level 2 modularenclosure servermodule mainsystem system chassis

Rack and Tower systems
Output Options For Command Results
CLI command output displays to standard output on the system in a command window, in an X-terminal, or on a screen, depending on the type of the operating system.
You can redirect command results to a file instead of displaying them to standard output. Saving command output to a file allows you to use the command output for later analysis or comparison.
Whether you display command results to standard output or have the command results written to a file, you can format the results. The format you select determines the way the command output is displayed and the way the command output is written to a file.
Controlling Command Output Display
Each operating system provides a means of controlling the way that command results display to standard output. The following is a useful command for ensuring that command results do not scroll by before you can view them. The same command syntax works for the Microsoft Windows command prompt, the
Red Hat Enterprise Linux terminal, and the SUSE Linux Enterprise Server terminal. To display command output with control over scrolling, type the CLI command and append the pipe symbol followed by more.
For example, type: omreport system summary | more or omreport servermodule summary | more
199
The multiscreen system summary displays the first screen. When you want to see the next screen of command output, press the spacebar.
Writing Command Output To A File
When redirecting command results to a file, you can specify a filename (and a directory path if necessary) to which you want to write the command result. When specifying the path to which you want to write the file, use the appropriate syntax for the operating system.
You can save command results in two ways. You can overwrite any file that has the same name as the output file you specify, or you can keep adding results of commands to a file of the same name.
Saving Command Results To A File That Is Overwritten
Use the -outc option when you want to overwrite data stored in previously written files. For example, at
11:00 A.M. you capture fan probe RPM readings for fan probe 0 on the system and write the results to a file called fans.txt. You type: omreport chassis fans index=0 -outc fans.txt
or omreport mainsystem fans index=0 -outc fans.txt
Partial results written to the file are:
Index
Status
Probe Name
Reading
Minimum Warning Threshold
Maximum Warning Threshold
Minimum Failure Threshold
Maximum Failure Threshold
: 0
: OK
: System Board Fan 1 RPM
: 2380RPM
: 600RPM
: 5700RPM
: 500RPM
: 6000RPM
Four hours later, you repeat the command. You have no interest in the 11:00 A.M. snapshot as written to fans.txt. You type the same command: omreport chassis fans index=0 -outc fans.txt
or omreport mainsystem fans index=0 -outc fans.txt
The 3:00 P.M. data overwrites the 11:00 A.M. data in the fans.txt file.
Fans.txt now reads as follows:
Index
Status
: 0
: OK
200
Probe Name
Reading
Minimum Warning Threshold
Maximum Warning Threshold
Minimum Failure Threshold
Maximum Failure Threshold
: System Board Fan 1 RPM
: 3001RPM
: 700RPM
: 5500RPM
: 500RPM
: 6000RPM
You cannot refer to the previous command results to compare the earlier fan probe 0 output with the present output because in using the -outc option, you overwrote the fans.txt file.
Append Command Results To An Existing File
Use the -outa option when you want to append new command results to data stored in a previously written file. For example, at 11:00 A.M. you capture fan probe RPM readings for fan probe 0 on the system and write the results to a file called fans.txt. To compare these results with output for the same probe obtained four hours later, you can use the -outa command to append the new output to fans.txt.
Type: omreport chassis fans index=0 -outa fans.txt
or omreport mainsystem fans index=0 -outa fans.txt
Fans.txt now reads as follows:
Index
Status
Probe Name
Reading
Minimum Warning
Threshold
Maximum Warning
Threshold
Minimum Failure
Threshold
Maximum Failure
Threshold
: 0
: OK
: System Board Fan 1 RPM

Threshold
: 900RPM
: 3500RPM
: 500RPM
: 6000RPM
You can use a text editor to insert the time that each block of data was captured. In comparing the two snapshots for fan probe 0, you can see that the second report shows several changes. The reading of fan
RPM has increased by 621 RPM but is still within normal range. Someone has raised the minimum warning threshold by 200 RPM and has decreased the maximum warning threshold by 2000 RPM.
Selecting A Format For The CLI Command Output
You can specify a format for the CLI command results. The format determines how the command output is displayed. If the command results are directed to a file, the format is captured by the file to which you write the command results.
The available formats include:
• List (lst)
• Semicolon-separated values (ssv)
• Table (tbl)
• Custom delimited format (cdv)
The syntax for the formatting option is:
<command> -fmt <format option>
For example, type: omreport system summary -fmt tbl or omreport servermodule summary -fmt tbl where -fmt tbl specifies table format.
You can combine the formatting option with the option to direct output to a file. For example, type: omreport system summary -fmt tbl -outa summary.txt
or omreport servermodule summary -fmt tbl -outa summary.txt
where -fmt tbl specifies table format and -outa specifies that you append the command results to a file named summary.txt .
202
List (lst)
The default format is lst or list format. Use this format when you want to optimize output for simple readability. You need to specify a format for the command output only if you want a format other than the lst format.
To see the following example command output in lst format, type: omreport system summary or omreport servermodule summary
No special formatting option is required because list format is the default display format. The network data part of the example system summary is displayed as follows:
--------------
Network Data
--------------
Network Interface 0
IP Address : 143.166.152.108
Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway : 143.166.152.1
MAC Address : 00-02-b3-23-d2-ca
Table (tbl)
Use the tbl or table formatting option to have the data formatted in table rows and columns. To see the following example command output in table format, type: omreport system summary -fmt tbl or omreport servermodule summary -fmt tbl
The example output displays as follows:
------------------------------
Network Interface 0
------------------------------
| ATTRIBUTE | VALUE
| IP Address | 143.166.152.108
| Subnet Mask | 255.255.255.0
| Default Gateway | 143.166.152.1
| MAC Address | 00-02-b3-23-d2-ca
Semicolon-Separated Values (ssv)
Use the ssv formatting option to deliver output formatted in semicolon-separated value format. This format also allows you to import the command output results into a spreadsheet program such as
Microsoft Excel, or into a database program. To see the following example command output in semicolon-separated value format, type: omreport system summary -fmt ssv or omreport servermodule summary -fmt ssv
203
The example output displays as follows:
------------------------------
Network Data
------------------------------
Network Interface 0
IP Address;143.166.152.108
Subnet Mask;255.255.255.0
Default Gateway;143.166.152.1
MAC Address;00-02-b3-23-d2-ca
Custom Delimited Format (cdv)
Use the cdv formatting option to report exported data in custom delimited format. You can specify this option with any omreport command. For example, to generate a system summary in custom delimited format, type: omreport system summary -fmt cdv or omreport servermodule summary -fmt cdv
You can also set preferences for the custom delimited format with the omconfig command. The valid values for delimiters are: exclamation, semicolon, at, hash, dollar, percent, caret, asterisk, tilde, question, colon, comma, and pipe.
The following example shows how to set the delimiter for separating data fields to asterisk: omconfig preferences cdvformat delimiter=asterisk
