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

Values

.

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 Frontpanel Or Omconfig Mainsystem Frontpanel

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.


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


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

Use the omconfig preferences command to set system preferences. Use the command line to specify the user levels to access Server Administrator and to configure the Active Directory service.

Omconfig Preferences Cdvformat

Use the omconfig preferences cdvformat to specify the delimiters for separating data fields reported in the custom delimited format. The valid values for delimiters are: exclamation, semicolon, at, hash, dollar, percent, caret, asterisk, tilde, question, colon, comma, and pipe.

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.


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

Server Administrator, it is "omsa".

enable=<true | false> true: Enables Active Directory service authentication support and the Active

Directory Login option on the login page.

false: Disables Active Directory service authentication support and the Active

Directory Login option on the login page. If the Active Directory Login option is not present, you can only login to the local machine accounts.

adprodname=<tex t>

Specifies the name of the product as defined in the Active Directory service. This name links the product with the Active Directory privilege data for user authentication.

Omconfig Preferences Messages

Use the omconfig preferences messages command to select the format of alert messages. The default format is traditional, which is the legacy format.

The following table lists the parameters you can use with this command.

To set the JRE versions, use the following command: omconfig preferences webserver attribute=setjre jreversion=<bundled | value>

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.


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.

name=value pair Description action=powercycle Turns off electrical power to the system, pauses, turns the power on, and reboots the system. Power cycling is useful when you want to re-initialize system components such as hard drives.

timer=<n> Number of seconds that must pass before the system is considered to have a hung operating system (from 20 seconds to 480 seconds).

Example Recovery Commands

To set the action on hung operating system detection to powercycle, type: omconfig system recovery action=powercycle or omconfig servermodule recovery action=powercycle

To set the system to hang for 120 seconds, before a recovery action is initiated, type: omconfig system recovery timer=120 or omconfig servermodule recovery timer=120

Omconfig System Shutdown Or Omconfig Servermodule Shutdown

Use the omconfig system shutdown or omconfig servermodule shutdown command to determine the way in which the system shuts down. During system shutdown, the default is to shut down the operating system before powering off the system. Shutting down the operating system first closes down the file system before powering the system down. If you do not want to shut down the operating system first, use the osfirst=false parameter. The following table displays the valid parameters for the command.


Table 48. Valid Parameters Of System Shutdown name=value pair Description action=reboot Shuts down the operating system and initiates system startup, performing BIOS checks and reloading the operating system.

action=poweroff Turns off the electrical power to the system.

action=powercycl e

Turns off the electrical power to the system, pauses, turns the power on, and reboots the system. Power cycling is useful when you want to re-initialize system components such as hard drives.

osfirst=true | false true: Closes the file system and exits the operating system before shutting down the system.

false: Does not close the file system or shut down the operating system before shutting down the system.

117

Example Shutdown Commands

To set the shutdown action to reboot, type: omconfig system shutdown action=reboot or omconfig servermodule shutdown action=reboot

To bypass operating system shutdown before the system is powered off, type: omconfig system shutdown action=reboot osfirst=false or omconfig servermodule shutdown action=reboot osfirst=false

Omconfig System Thrmshutdown Or Omconfig Servermodule

Thrmshutdown

Use the omconfig system thrmshutdown or omconfig servermodule thrmshutdown command to configure a thermal shutdown action. You can configure the system for a thermal shutdown when a temperature probe detects a temperature probe warning or failure event.


Table 49. Valid Parameters Of Thermal Shutdown name=value pair severity=disabled | warning | failure

Description disabled: Disable thermal shutdown. An administrator must intervene.

warning: Perform a shutdown when a temperature warning event is detected. A warning event occurs when any temperature probe inside a chassis reads a temperature (in degree Celsius) that exceeds the maximum temperature warning threshold value.

failure: Perform a shutdown when a temperature failure event is detected. A failure event occurs when any temperature probe inside a chassis reads a temperature (in degree Celsius) that exceeds the maximum temperature failure threshold value.

Example Thermal Shutdown Commands

To trigger a thermal shutdown when a temperature probe detects a failure event, type: omconfig system thrmshutdown severity=failure or omconfig servermodule thrmshutdown severity=failure

To disable thermal shutdown so that an administrator has to initiate an omconfig system shutdown, type: omconfig system thrmshutdown severity=disabled or omconfig servermodule thrmshutdown severity=disabled
