Conventions for parameter tables
When listing the parameters that a command can take, the parameters are listed in alphabetical order instead of the order in which they 
appear in the command line interface.
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.
omcong Command Summary
The following table provides a high-level summary of the omcong command. The columns titled Command level 2 and Command level 3 
list the major arguments that are used with omcong. User privilege required refers to the type of privilege you need to run the command, 
where U = User, P = Power User, and A = Administrator. Use is a very general statement about the actions that are performed using 
omcong.
NOTE: Although the following table lists all possible omcong commands, the commands available on the system depend on the 
system conguration. If you try to get help or run a command for a component not installed on the system, Server Administrator 
displays a message that the component or feature is not found on the system.
NOTE: When CSIOR (Collect System Inventory on Restart) is disabled, omcong does not allow to congure the BIOS 
settings.
