Command Line Interface Guide

The index parameter is optional. If you do not specify the index, Server Administrator displays properties of all NICs on
the system and the values for the following fields: Index (NIC card number), Interface Name, Vendor, Description,
Connection Status, and Slot.
If you specify the index, Server Administrator displays properties for a specific NIC and the values for the following
fields: Physical Interface, Interface name, IPv4 Addresses, IPv6 Addresses, Physical Interface Receive Statistics,
Physical Interface Transmit Statistics, Interface Receive Statistics, and Interface Transmit Statistics.
NOTE: The Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) and iSCSI over Ethernet (iSoE) features of Converged Network
Adapter (CNA) cards are not supported on VMware ESX and VMware ESXi systems.
To view Team interface properties, type:
omreport chassis nics config=team index=n
or
omreport mainsystem nics config=team index=n
NOTE: This command is applicable only if Team interface is configured in the system. Team interface is configured
using NIC vendor tools, such as Broadcom.
The index parameter is optional. If you do not specify the index, Server Administrator displays details of all the Team
interfaces on the system and the values for the following fields: Index (NIC card number), Interface Name, Vendor,
Description, and Redundancy Status.
If you specify the index, Server Administrator displays the Team interface details for the specific NIC and the values for
the following fields: Team Interface, Interface, IPv4 Addresses, IPv6 Addresses , Team Interface Receive Statistics ,
Team Interface Transmit Statistics , Interface Receive Statistics, and Interface Transmit Statistics.
Omreport Chassis Ports Or omreport Mainsystem Ports
Use the omreport chassis ports or omreport mainsystem ports command to view properties of the system’s parallel and
serial ports.
NOTE: CMC USB ports attached with blade servers are not enumerated by OMSA.
Server Administrator displays values for the following fields: Port Type, External Name, Base I/O Address, IRQ Level,
Connector Type, and Maximum Speed. The following table provides the description of the fields:
Table 7. Fields and Description
Field Description
Port Type Detailed type of each system port, from the more general serial, parallel, and USB ports to the names of
ports by device type connected to it, for example, pointing device or keyboard.
External
Name
Name of the port, such as serial or parallel, USB, mouse, keyboard, and so on.
Base I/O
Address
Starting I/O address expressed in hexadecimal.
IRQ Level Hardware interrupt on a system. The hardware interrupt signals the system's CPU that an event has
started or ended in a peripheral component such as a modem or printer. When communicated over a
peripheral component interconnect card, the IRQ level is a standard way to identify the type of device
that is sending the interrupt request.
Connector
Type
Type of plug or cable and plug that connects two devices together, in this case, the type of connector
that attaches an external device to a system. There are many connector types, each designed to
