Ping Device This option performs a ping test to verify if a device is reachable
before it runs a task against it. This option can be used when
using $IP or $RAC_IP and it decreases the time it takes to run
the task(s) as it skips unreachable devices.
Output to le Select to enable output to a log le. This option captures
standard output from the running application and writes it to the
log le. If you select this option, you must enter the path name
and le name of the log le. This option is disabled by default.
Append Select this option to continue writing to the same le if you run
a task multiple times.
Include errors Select to write all OpenManage Essentials-detected errors to
the log le. For example, if no response is received to a ping
request before the execution of the command, an error is
written to the log le.
