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.

– LSI SAS 9300–8e – LSI SAS 9206–16e • Added support for the following Dell PowerEdge servers: – R920 – R220 – 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.
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 -?. For example, to display help for the omreport command, type one of the following commands: • omhelp omreport • omreport -? The omreport command displays reports of the management information of the system. NOTE: For an overall summary of the CLI commands, type omhelp.
If you execute a command for a component or feature that is not present in the system configuration, the error message states that the component is not present. 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.
gain information that are 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. The next level of complexity includes commands that contain command levels 1 and 2.
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).
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. To set the depreciation method to straight line, type: omconfig system assetinfo info=depreciation method=straightline The CLI responds with the following message: Asset information set successfully.
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.
The symbol |, often called pipe, is the logical exclusive or operator. For example, enable | disable means you can enable or disable the component or feature, but you cannot simultaneously enable and disable the component or feature. 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.

Defining Alert Actions An alert action is an action that you specify for the system to take when specified conditions are met. Alert actions determine in advance what actions to take for warning or failure events on intrusion, fans, temperatures, voltages, power supplies, memory, and redundancy. For example, if a fan probe on the system reads a fan RPM of 300 and your minimum warning threshold value for that fan probe is 600 RPM, then the system generates a fan probe warning.
Alert Action Setting Description NOTE: On Linux systems, user or user groups upgraded to administrator or administrator groups cannot configure this alert action setting. execapp=false Disables the executable application. Components And Events For Alert Actions The following table provides the events for which you can set alert actions. Components are listed in alphabetical order, except that warning events always precede failure events for a component. Table 40.
Event Name Description event=voltfail Sets actions when a voltage probe detects a failure value. event=watchdogasr Sets actions that Server Administrator performs on the next system startup after a watchdog Automatic System Recovery (ASR) is performed for a hung operating system. event=removableflashme diapresent Sets actions that Server Administrator performs when the system detects a removable flash media.
To enable broadcast messages if a current probe detects a failure event, type: omconfig system alertaction event=currentfail broadcast=true or omconfig servermodule alertaction event=currentfail broadcast=true Example Fan Probe Actions To generate alerts when a fan probe detects a failure value, type: omconfig system alertaction event=fanfail alert=true or omconfig servermodule alertaction event=fanfail alert=true Example Chassis Intrusion Actions To clear all alert actions for chassis intrusion, type: om
Omconfig System Pedestinations Or Omconfig Servermodule Pedestinations Use the omconfig system pedestinations or omconfig servermodule pedestinations command to set IP addresses for alert destinations.

When reconfiguring a virtual disk, you must specify all physical disks to include in the reconfigured virtual disk. The physical disk specification applies to physical disks in the original virtual disk and continues in the reconfigured virtual disk and to any new physical disks being added to the reconfigured virtual disk. Some controllers allow you to remove a physical disk from a virtual disk. In this case, do not specify to remove the physical disk.

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.
The multiscreen system summary displays the first screen. When you want to see the next screen of command output, press the spacebar. 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.
Probe Name : System Board Fan 1 RPM Reading : 3001RPM Minimum Warning Threshold : 700RPM 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.
Minimum Warning Threshold : 900RPM Maximum Warning Threshold : 3500RPM 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.
List (lst) The default format is lst or list format. Use this format when you want to optimize output for simple readability. You need to specify a format for the command output only if you want a format other than the lst format. To see the following example command output in lst format, type: omreport system summary or omreport servermodule summary No special formatting option is required because list format is the default display format.
The example output displays 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 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.
