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. 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. The column titled Command level 1 displays the 
omreport command at its most general use. Command level 2 shows the major objects or components that you can view using 
omreport (about, chassis, storage, and system). Command level 3 lists the specific objects and components to view reports. 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 performed using omreport.
The following table lists the omreport commands available for about, system, and main system chassis.
