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.
What Is New In This Release NOTE: Server Administrator version 8.0.1 is supported only on the following systems: • Dell PowerEdge R730 • PowerEdge R730 XD • PowerEdge R630 • PowerEdge T630 • Dell Precision R7910 The following are the highlights of Server Administrator version 8.0.1: • Support for the following operating systems: – Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.0 – VMware ESXi 5.5 U2 and 5.1 U2 – Citrix XenServer 6.2 SP1 • Support for additional attributes and values in BIOS setup groups.
Accessing The Windows Command Prompt To Run CLI Commands If you are running the Microsoft Windows operating system, use the 32-bit command prompt to run a Server Administrator CLI command. Access the 32-bit command prompt using one of the following methods: • Click Start → Programs → Accessories → Command Prompt. • Click Start → Run and type cmd.exe. NOTE: Do not type command in the Run dialog box to launch a command line window; this activates the MS-DOS emulator command.
CLI Error Checking And Error Messages When you type CLI commands, the CLI checks these commands for the correct syntax. If you type a command and the command is executed successfully, a message is displayed, stating that the command is successful. Success Messages When you type a successful omconfig command, data for that component is displayed. The following omconfig command examples displays valid CLI commands and their success messages: Table 1.
Message Error! This voltage probe min warning threshold must be between 11.400 and 12.480. Revised command omconfig chassis volts index=3 minwarnthresh=11.500 Message Voltage probe warning threshold(s) set successfully. Scripting And Comparing Using CLI The Server Administrator CLI allows administrators to write batch programs for the operating system.
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 In this example, 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).
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.

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.
