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.
● Oracle Java Runtime Environment 11.0.9 and Tomcat 9.0.45 bundled with Server Administrator. ● For the YX5X generation of PowerEdge servers, new memory events are supported that provide additional recommendations about the resolution steps to resolve an event. The release of Storage Management provides the following new features: ● ● ● ● ● ● Support for LTO-X tape drives (starting from LTO-8) that can be connected to HBA355e. The Auto Configure Behavior feature on PERC 10 and later controllers.
Primary CLI Commands The commands that carry out the functions of Server Administrator are: ● omconfig ● omhelp ● omreport The omconfig command writes values that you assign to an object's properties. You can specify values for warning thresholds on components or prescribe actions that the system must perform when a certain warning or failure event occurs.
If you execute a command for a component or feature that is not present in the system configuration, the error message states that the component is not present. The following are examples of some failure messages: Table 2. Failure messages Command Message omconfig chassis volts index=3 minwarnthresh=3.3000 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.
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).
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.
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.

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.
Table 228. Result (continued) 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.
within normal range. Someone has raised the minimum warning threshold by 200 RPM and has decreased the maximum warning threshold by 2000 RPM. 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.
A Identifying the series of your Dell EMC PowerEdge servers The PowerEdge series of servers form Dell EMC are divided into different categories on the basis of their configuration. For easier reference, they are referred to as YX2X, YX3X, YX4X, YX4XX, or YX5XX series of servers. The structure of the naming convention is described below: The letter Y denotes the alphabets in the server model number. The alphabets denote the form factor of the server.
