100 omconfig: Managing Components Using the Instrumentation Service
For example, if a fan probe on your system reads a fan RPM of 300 and your
minimum warning threshold value for that fan probe is 600 RPM, then your
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
Table 4-20 shows the alert actions for each component that allows you to
configure an alert action.
