Introduction 1 Dell OpenManage Server Administrator (OMSA) provides a comprehensive, one-to-one systems management solution through either an integrated Web browser-based graphical user interface (GUI) or a command line interface (CLI). Server Administrator is designed for system administrators to manage systems locally and remotely on a network. It allows system administrators to manage their entire network by providing a comprehensive one-to-one systems management.
– Upgraded to JRE version 1.7 Update 21 – Upgraded to Apache Tomcat version 7.0.39 • Added support for Google Chrome 21 and 22 • Added support for Safari 5.1.
occurs. You can also use the omconfig command to assign specific values to the system's asset information parameters, such as the purchase price of the system, the system's asset tag, or the system's location. The omhelp command displays short-text help for CLI commands. The shorthand equivalent of omhelp is the command for which you want help followed by -?.
The following are examples of some failure messages: Command omconfig chassis volts index=3 minwarnthresh=3.3000 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. Revised command omconfig chassis volts index=3 minwarnthresh=3.
The next level of complexity includes commands that contain command levels 1 and 2. All of the about commands are examples of command level 2 complexity. The omconfig about and omreport about commands display a very brief summary. The summary shows version information for the systems management software installed on the system; for example, Server Administrator 1.x. Some commands have command level 1 and command level 2 and one name=value pair.
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).
When you type omconfig system assetinfo -?, the help that displays provides information about assigning values for the name and option fields. Partial results for the request omconfig system assetinfo -? are as follows: assetinfo Set asset information. For one info value, specify one or more optional parameter(s). The following table displays the optional parameters for info=acquisition: Table 2.
omreport: Viewing System Status Using The Instrumentation Service 3 The omreport command allows you to see detailed information about the system components. You can also retrieve summaries for many system components at one time, or 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.
NOTE: When a system includes an external chassis, the displayed results vary by operating system. On SUSE Linux Enterprise Server and Red Hat Enterprise Linux systems, the omreport commands display external chassis information in a separate section after the main chassis information. On Microsoft Windows systems, data about the external chassis does not appear in the omreport output. The following table provides a high-level summary of the omreport command.
Command Level 1 Command Level 2 Command Level User 3 Privilege Required Use hwperformance U, P, A Displays the status and cause for the system’s performance degradation. info U, P, A Displays a status summary for main system chassis components. intrusion U, P, A Displays the status of the system’s intrusion sensor(s). leds U, P, A Displays the properties you have set for lightemitting diodes to flash under various alert conditions.
Command Level 1 Command Level 2 preferences Command Level User 3 Privilege Required Use alertaction U, P, A Displays the warning and failure threshold values, as well as actions configured when an essential component detects a warning or failure state. alertlog U, P, A Allows the administrator to display the alert log. assetinfo U, P, A Displays the cost of ownership information for the system. cmdlog U, P, A Allows the administrator to display the command log.
Use omreport -? to get help on the level 2 about, chassis, and system commands. The following information on omreport system -? also applies to get help for the omreport chassis command. To see a list of valid commands for omreport system, type: omreport system -? | more omreport modularenclosure Use the omreport modularenclosure command to view details of the Blade system.

Using The Storage Management Service 6 The CLI of Storage Management enables you to perform reporting, configuration, and management functions of Storage Management from an operating system command shell. The Storage Management CLI also enables you to script command sequences. The Storage Management CLI provides expanded options for the Dell OpenManage Server Administrator omreport and omconfig commands.
In this example, the id in controller=idis the controller number such that controller 1 is specified as controller=1. Syntax Of Command Elements The omreport and omconfig commands have multiple name=value pairs. These name=value pairs may include required, optional, and variable parameters. The following table describes the syntax used to indicate these parameters. Table 65.
Syntax Description For example, when creating a virtual disk, the [name=] parameter indicates that you have the option of specifying the virtual disk name. If you omit this parameter from the syntax, then a default name for the virtual disk is chosen for you. | The pipe symbol (|) separates two or more options from which only one is selected. For example, when creating a virtual disk, the cachepolicy=d | c indicates that the cache policy is specified as either cachepolicy=d or cachepolicy=c.
Omreport Storage Commands 7 The omreport command allows you to view storage component information for disks, controllers, enclosures, batteries, global storage properties, connectors and cachecades that are part of the storage system. The omreport command helps to get reports with the level of detail that you want. The commands may vary in, whether they define the fields that appear in the results of a particular omreport command. Fields are defined only if they have a special or less familiar use.

Working With CLI Command Results 9 Server Administrator Command Line Interface (CLI) users can use the command output in various ways. This chapter explains how to save command output to a file and how to select a format for the command results that fits different objectives. The following table displays the systems on which omreport commands are applicable. Table 127.
Writing Command Output To A File When redirecting command results to a file, you can specify a filename (and a directory path if necessary) to which you want to write the command result. When specifying the path to which you want to write the file, use the appropriate syntax for the operating system. You can save command results in two ways. You can overwrite any file that has the same name as the output file you specify, or you can keep adding results of commands to a file of the same name.
Minimum Failure Threshold : 500RPM Maximum Failure Threshold : 6000RPM You cannot refer to the previous command results to compare the earlier fan probe 0 output with the present output because in using the -outc option, you overwrote the fans.txt file. Append Command Results To An Existing File Use the -outa option when you want to append new command results to data stored in a previously written file. For example, at 11:00 A.M.
Maximum Failure Threshold : 6000RPM You can use a text editor to insert the time that each block of data was captured. In comparing the two snapshots for fan probe 0, you can see that the second report shows several changes. The reading of fan RPM has increased by 621 RPM but is still within normal range. Someone has raised the minimum warning threshold by 200 RPM and has decreased the maximum warning threshold by 2000 RPM.
-------------Network Interface 0 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 the data formatted in table rows and columns.
You can also set preferences for the custom delimited format with the omconfig command. The valid values for delimiters are: exclamation, semicolon, at, hash, dollar, percent, caret, asterisk, tilde, question, colon, comma, and pipe.
