Using CLI Commands from Windows Command
Prompts
If you are running the Microsoft Windows
®
operating system, use the 32-bit
command prompt to issue a Server Administrator CLI command. You can
access the 32-bit command prompt by clicking the Start button and pointing
to Programs→ Accessories→ Command Prompt shortcut, or by clicking the
Start button, selecting Run, and typing cmd.exe in the Run dialog box.
Do not type command into the Run dialog box to launch a command line
window; this activates the MS-DOS
®
emulator command.com, which has
environment variable limitations that can cause subtle problems with the CLI.
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 what action your system is to take when a certain warning or failure
event occurs. You can also use the omconfig command to assign specific
values to your system's asset information parameters, such as the purchase
price of the system, the system's asset tag, or the system's location.
