Accessing the Windows Command Prompt to Run
CLI Commands
If you are running the Microsoft Windows operating system, use the 32-bit
command prompt to run a Server Administrator CLI command. Access the
32-bit command prompt using one of the following methods:
•Click Start  Programs  Accessories  Command Prompt
•Click Start  Run and type cmd.exe
NOTE: Do not type command in 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 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 action that the system must perform when a certain warning or
failure event occurs. You can also use the omconfig command to assign
specific values to the system's asset information parameters, such as the
purchase price of the system, the system's asset tag, or the system's location.
The omhelp command displays short text help for CLI commands.
The shorthand equivalent of omhelp is the command for which you want
help followed by -?. For example, to display help for the omreport command,
type one of the following commands:
omhelp omreport
omreport -?
The omreport command displays reports of the management information of
the system.
NOTE: For an overall summary of the CLI commands, type omhelp.
