omconfig: Managing Components Using the Instrumentation Service 167
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. Table 4-31
shows the valid parameters for the command.
NOTE: Due to the limitations of certain operating systems (for example, VMware
ESXi), certain features are not available with this release of OpenManage Server
Administrator.
Table 4-31. Shutdown Parameters
