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 voltage, temperature, fan’s revolutions per minute (RPM), memory functioning, and many other critical component details.
Configuration features allow 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. NOTE: You can use the CLI instead of the Server Administrator home page, and turn the Server Administrator Web server off if you have encryption concerns. The CLI does not use the Web server. Use the omconfig system webserver action=stop command to turn off the Web server.
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 using one of the following methods: • Click the Start Programs Accessories Command Prompt • Click Start Run and type cmd.exe NOTE: Do not type command into the Run dialog box to launch a command line window; this activates the MS-DOS emulator command.
Table 1-1 lists the primary CLI commands used by Server Administrator. This guide contains a section for each primary command. Table 1-1.
Command: omconfig chassis temps index=0 warnthresh=default Message: Temperature probe warning threshold value(s) set successfully. Command: omconfig chassis biossetup attribute=numlock setting=on Message: BIOS setup configured successfully. Change will take effect after the next reboot. 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.
Example message: 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. Type: omconfig chassis volts index=3 minwarnthresh=3.300 When you type 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.
A similar scenario could be used to populate a large number of newly acquired systems with detailed asset information. Much of the information would be the same, such as the manufacturer or lessor of the system, whether support for the system is outsourced, insurance company name of the system, method of depreciation, and so on. Any variable that is common to all systems could be scripted, sent to all managed systems, and executed.
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 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.
Using the omhelp Command 2 The omhelp command and its equivalent, -?, 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).
• recovery • shutdown • thrmshutdown • webserver Figure 2-1 shows the levels of help for a command. Figure 2-1.
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.

omconfig chassis temps/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. Your system manufacturer sets the minimum and maximum failure threshold values. NOTE: Threshold values that you can set vary from one system configuration to another.
Specify a Value for Minimum and Maximum Warning Thresholds If you want 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.
Table 4-15. omconfig chassis volts/omconfig mainsystem volts (continued) name=value pair Description minwarnthresh= Sets minimum warning threshold value(3 decimal places). sets maximum warning threshold value (3 decimal places).
When you issue the command and the system sets the values you specify, the following message appears: Voltage probe warning threshold(s) set successfully. NOTE: Minimum and maximum warning threshold values for the voltage cannot be set on PowerEdge x8xx systems. omconfig preferences Use the omconfig preferences command to set system preferences. Use the command line to set the SNMP root password and specify the user levels able to access Server Administrator.
Therefore, for a computer named "myOmsa" running Server Administrator, the default name would be "myOmsa–omsa". This is the name of Server Administrator defined in Active Directory by using the snap–in 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 4-16 shows the valid parameters for the command. Table 4-16.
CAUTION: Interactive mode is the more encrypted method of setting the SNMP root password. In non-interactive mode, the values you enter for the newpw and confirmnewpw options appear on your system’s monitor when you type them. In the interactive mode, the values you type for passwords are masked. The parameters for configuring the SNMP root password are the same whether you configure it interactively or iteratively.
For example, to disallow SNMP set operations use the following command: omconfig preferences snmp setting=snmpset enable= false NOTE: After executing the command to enable or disable SNMP set operations, restart services for the change to take effect. On systems running supported Microsoft Windows operating systems, restart the Windows SNMP Service.

Source At present, source=snmptraps is a required name=value pair because SNMP is currently the only supported source of event notification for your 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. Table 4-26 shows the valid parameters for system event types. Table 4-26.
Severity In the context of configuring events, severity determines how severe an event must be 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 to be notified for event severity according to the number of the component by using the index= parameter. Table 4-27 shows the valid severity parameters. Table 4-27.
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.

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.
