Syntax for Setting Alert Actions

Setting an alert action requires two name=value pairs. The first name=value

pair is the event type. The second name=value pair is the action to take for

this event. For example, in the command:

omconfig system alertaction event=powersupply

broadcast=true

omconfig servermodule alertaction event=

powersupply broadcast=true

The event is a power supply failure and the action is to broadcast a message to

all Server Administrator users.

Available Alert Actions

Table 4-22 shows the alert actions for each component that allows you to

configure an alert action.
