1 Introduction You can perform essential systems management tasks using Dell™ OpenManage™ Server Administrator’s graphical user interface (GUI) or the command line interface (CLI). The reporting and viewing features allow retrieval of overall health status for systems on your network. At the component level, you can view information about voltages, temperatures, fan’s revolutions per minute (RPM), memory functioning, and many other critical component details.
• • • Display of new memory types (DDR3 Registered, DDR3 Unregistered) • Display of new slot types (PCIe Gen1/2) • Enabling/disabling Non-Uniform Memory Architecture (Node Interleaving) during deployment • Enabling Network Controller-Sideband Interface support on each of the LOMs on an individual basis for all LOMs • Reporting memory operating modes (optimizer, mirror, and advanced ECC) • Support for NICS receive and transmit statistics.
Using CLI Commands from Windows Command Prompts If you are running the Microsoft Windows® operating system, use the 32-bit command prompt to issue a Server Administrator CLI command. You can access the 32-bit command prompt by clicking the Start button and pointing to Programs→Accessories→Command Prompt shortcut, or by clicking the Start button, selecting Run, and typing cmd.exe in the Run dialog box.
Table 1-1 lists the primary CLI commands used by Server Administrator. This guide contains a section for each primary command. Table 1-1.
Message: Temperature probe warning threshold value(s) set successfully. Command: omconfig chassis biossetup attribute=speaker setting=on Message: BIOS setup configured successfully. Command: omconfig system assetinfo info=depreciation duration=6 Message: Asset information set successfully. 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.
Type: omconfig chassis volts index=3 minwarnthresh=3.300 When you enter the revised command with three decimal points, you receive another error 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.
variables such as 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.
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: omreport system alertaction causes a list of alert actions that are configured for components on your system to be displayed. The most complex commands have all three command levels and can have multiple name=value pairs.
Using the omhelp Command 2 The omhelp command and its equivalent, -?, accesses the CLI's detailed help text interface. 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.
• thrmshutdown • webserver Figure 2-1 shows the levels of help for a command. Figure 2-1. Different Levels of Help for a Command You can also parse the omconfig system assetinfo command as follows: [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.
For one info value, specify one or more optional parameter(s). Table 2-1 displays the optional parameters for info=acquisition: Table 2-1.
Using the omhelp Command
3 omreport: Viewing System Status Using the Instrumentation Service The omreport command allows you to see detailed information about your system components. You can retrieve summaries for many system components at one time, or you can 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.
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 that you can enable or disable the component or feature, but you cannot simultaneously enable and disable the component or feature.
