1 Introduction 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.
• Client OS support: – Win 10RS5 Pro, RHEL 7.5 workstation. • Support for the following browsers: – Google Chrome - 67, 68 – Safari - 11.
omconfig command to assign specific values to the system's asset information parameters, such as the purchase price of the system, the system's asset tag, or the system's location. 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 -?.
Table 2. 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. 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.
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. All of the about commands are examples of command level 2 complexity. The omconfig about and omreport about commands display a very brief summary.
2 Using The omhelp Command 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).
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 5.
3 omreport Viewing System Status Using The Instrumentation Service 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.
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.

6 Using The Storage Management Service The CLI of Storage Management enables you to perform reporting, configuration, and management functions of Storage Management from an operating system command shell. The Storage Management CLI also enables you to script command sequences. The Storage Management CLI provides expanded options for the OpenManage Server Administrator omreport and omconfig commands.
In this example, the id in controller=idis the controller number such that controller 1 is specified as controller=1. Syntax Of Command Elements The omreport and omconfig commands have multiple name=value pairs. These name=value pairs may include required, optional, and variable parameters. The following table describes the syntax used to indicate these parameters. Table 91.
Syntax Description For example, when creating a virtual disk, the [name=] parameter indicates that you have the option of specifying the virtual disk name. If you omit this parameter from the syntax, then a default name for the virtual disk is chosen for you. | The pipe symbol (|) separates two or more options from which only one is selected. For example, when creating a virtual disk, the cachepolicy=d | c indicates that the cache policy is specified as either cachepolicy=d or cachepolicy=c.
7 Omreport storage commands The omreport command allows you to view storage component information for disks, controllers, enclosures, batteries, global storage properties, connectors and cachecades that are part of the storage system.

9 Working With CLI Command Results 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 226.
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.
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.
Selecting A Format For The CLI Command Output You can specify a format for the CLI command results. The format determines how the command output is displayed. If the command results are directed to a file, the format is captured by the file to which you write the command results.
Table Use the tbl or table formatting option to have the data formatted in table rows and columns. To see the following example command output in table format, type: omreport system summary -fmt tbl or omreport servermodule summary -fmt tbl The example output displays as follows: -----------------------------Network Interface 0 -----------------------------| ATTRIBUTE | VALUE | IP Address | 143.166.152.108 | Subnet Mask | 255.255.255.0 | Default Gateway | 143.166.152.
