Field Description
Command Provide the RACADM command you want to run on
the servers.
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, you must 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.
