Using the Storage Management
Service
The CLI of Storage Management enables you to perform all of Storage
Management’s reporting, configuration, and management functions from an
operating system command shell. The Storage Management CLI also enables
you to script command sequences.
The Storage Management CLI provides expanded options for the Dell
OpenManage Server Administrator omreport and omconfig commands. This
chapter only documents the omreport and omconfig commands that apply to
Storage Management. For more information, see the Dell OpenManage
Installation and Security User's Guide. See the Storage Management online

User’s Guide for more information on Storage Management.

will displays.
