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.
– VMware vSphere 5.5 • Added support for the following browsers: – Mozilla Firefox 22 and 23 – Internet Explorer 11 – Safari 6.0 – Google Chrome 27, 28, and 30 • Support for a new license format for Citrix XenServer 6.1.
– M820VRTX • Deprecated support for the following operating systems: – SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 SP4 – SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 SP2 – Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4 (64–bit) – VMware ESXi 5.1 U1 HDD and Flash – VMware ESXi 5.0 U2 HDD and Flash NOTE: For the list of supported operating systems and Dell servers, see the Dell Systems Software Support Matrix in the required version of OpenManage Software at dell.com/openmanagemanuals.
NOTE: For an overall summary of the CLI commands, type omhelp. NOTE: The omupdate commands are no longer supported in Server Administrator and are replaced by Dell Update Package or the Server Update Utility commands. To update the different components, download the Dell Update Package and run the /s [/f command.
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).
The CLI responds with the following message: Asset information set successfully. 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.
Command Summary Of The omreport Command Depending on the system configuration, the results of the omreport command vary from one system to another. Data displays for installed components only. 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.

Omconfig Global Rescan Controller Description Rescans all the controllers on the system. For more information about Global Rescan Controller, see the Dell OpenManage Online Help. Syntax omconfig storage globalinfo action=globalrescan Example to Do a global rescan of all controllers. The omconfig command syntax for rescanning all controllers on the system does not require a controller or enclosure ID. NOTE: Global rescan is not supported on non-RAID SCSI and SAS controllers.
NOTE: This command is not supported on SAS controllers. Syntax omconfig storage connector action=rescan controller=id connector=id, where id is the controller ID and the connector ID as reported by the omreport command. To obtain these values, type omreport storage controller to display the controller IDs and then type omreport storage connector controller=ID to display the IDs for the connectors attached to the controller. Example to Rescan connector 2 on controller 1.
Example to Unblinks the physical disk in cachecade 4 on controller 1 Example omconfig storage cachecade action=unblink controller=1 cachecade=4 Omconfig Delete Cachecade Description Deletes a cachecade. Syntax omconfig storage cachecade action=deletecachecade controller=id cachecade=id, where id is the controller ID and the cachecade ID as reported by the omreport command.

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 125.
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.
Maximum Warning Threshold : 5500RPM 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.
Minimum Failure Threshold : 500RPM 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.
No special formatting option is required because list format is the default display format. The network data part of the example system summary is displayed as follows: -------------Network Data -------------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.
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.
