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.
NOTE: For information on terms used in this document, see the Glossary on the Dell support website. What's New in Version 6.3 Following are the new features of OpenManage Server Administrator 6.
• 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 what action your system is to take when a certain warning or failure event occurs. You can also use the omconfig command to assign specific values to your system's asset information parameters, such as the purchase price of the system, the system's asset tag, or the system's location.
NOTE: omupdate commands are no longer supported in Server Administrator and are replaced by Dell Update Package or Server Update Utility commands. To update the different components, download the Dell Update Package and run /s [/f]. See the Dell Update Packages for Microsoft Windows Operating Systems User’s Guide, the Dell Update Packages for Linux User’s Guide, or the Server Update Utility User’s Guide on the Dell Support website at support.dell.
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. Many error messages provide syntax information that you can use to execute the command successfully.
Message: Voltage probe warning threshold(s) set successfully. Scripting and Comparing With the CLI The Server Administrator CLI allows administrators to write batch programs or scripts to be executed by the operating system.
system usage. Command results can be routed to a file for later analysis. Reports can help administrators gain information that can be 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.
omconfig system assetinfo info=acquisition purchasecost= waybill= installdate= purchasedate= ponum= signauth= expensed= costcenter= In each section, command syntax and other information about commands is formatted with any of the following fields that apply: command level 1 22 command level 2 Introduction command level 3 name=value pair 1 name=value pair 2
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.
• shutdown • 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.

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 The multiscreen system summary displays the first screen. When you want to see the next screen of command output, press the spacebar.
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.
Fans.
The available formats include: • List (lst) • Semicolon-separated values (ssv) • Table (tbl) • Raw XML (xml) • Custom delimited format (cdv) The Syntax for the formatting option is: -fmt 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.
No special formatting option is required because list format is the default display format. The network data part of the example system summary appears as follows: -------------Network Data -------------Network Interface Card 0 Data 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 your data formatted in table rows and columns.
Semicolon-separated Values (ssv) Use the ssv formatting option to deliver output formatted in semicolonseparated value format. This format also allows you to import your command output results into a spreadsheet program such as Microsoft Excel, or into a database program.
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.
