omconfig: Managing Components 137
omconfig system/omconfig servermodule
Use the omconfig system or omconfig servermodule commands to clear logs,
determine how various shutdown actions occur, set initial values or edit
values for cost of ownership information, and determine how to respond to a
hung operating system.
omconfig system alertaction/omconfig servermodule alertaction
You can use the omconfig system alertaction or omconfig servermodule
alertaction command to determine how Server Administrator responds when
a component has a warning or failure event.
NOTE: Due to the limitations of certain operating systems (for example, VMware
ESXi), certain features may not be available with this release of OpenManage
Server Administrator.
Defining Alert Actions
An alert action is an action that you specify for your system to take when
specified conditions are met. Alert actions determine in advance what actions
are to be taken for warning or failure events on intrusion, fans, temperatures,
voltages, power supplies, memory, and redundancy.
For example, if a fan probe on your system reads a fan RPM of 300 and your
minimum warning threshold value for that fan probe is 600 RPM, then your
system generates a fan probe warning. Alert action settings determine how
users are notified of this event. You can also configure alert actions for
temperature, voltage, and probe readings that fall within the warning or
failure range.
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
or
omconfig servermodule alertaction event=
powersupply broadcast=true
