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 file Select to enable output to a log file. This option
captures standard output from the running
application and writes it to the log file. If you select
this option, enter the path name and file name of
the log file. This option is disabled by default.
Append Select to append output from the completed
command to the specified file. If the file does not
exist, it is created.
Include errors Select to write all OpenManage Essentials-detected
errors to the log file. For example, if no response is
received to a ping request before the execution of
the command, an error is written to the log file.
