20 Introduction
Example message:
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. A valid minimum
warning threshold value for volts contains up to
3 digits after the decimal point.
Ty p e :
omconfig chassis volts index=3 minwarnthresh=3.300
When you type the revised command with three decimal points, you receive
another error message:
Error! This voltage probe min warning threshold
must be between 11.400 and 12.480.
Revised command:
omconfig chassis volts index=3 minwarnthresh=
11.500
Message:
Voltage probe warning threshold(s) set
successfully.
Scripting and Comparing With the CLI
The Server Administrator CLI allows administrators to write batch programs
or scripts to be executed by the operating system. For an enterprise with many
systems, an administrator could write a configuration script that specified the
warning thresholds for each major component of a system and also specified
a set of actions that the administrator wants each system to take in case of
a warning or failure event. In the most critical cases, the administrator could
write a script so that the system shuts down to prevent damage.
The administrator could then distribute and execute the script to many
managed systems at the same time. Such a scenario facilitates configuring
any number of new systems acquired by a company and makes
implementation of new system administration policies easier across many
existing systems that require reconfiguration.
