Table 36. Valid Parameters Of Configuring Preferences Messages

name=value pair 1 name=value pair 2 Description

attribute=format setting=traditional | enhanced

traditional: Sets the alert message to traditional format.

enhanced: Sets the alert message to Enhanced Event

Messaging format. This is similar to the format available in

iDRAC7.

For example, to set the message format to traditional use the following command:

omconfig preferences messages format=traditional

Omconfig Preferences Snmp

Setting the SNMP root password allows administrators to restrict access to SNMP set operations that allow important

systems management interventions. You can configure the SNMP root password normally (by typing all of the

parameters in one command line) or interactively.

Using the omconfig preferences snmp command, you can also configure SNMP set operations.

NOTE: Due to the limitations of certain operating systems (for example, VMware ESXi), certain features are not

available with this release of OpenManage Server Administrator.

CAUTION: Interactive mode is the more encrypted method of setting the SNMP root password. In non-interactive

mode, the values you enter for the

newpw

and

confirmnewpw

options appear on the system’s monitor when you

type them. In the interactive mode, the values you type for passwords are masked.

The parameters for configuring the SNMP root password are the same whether you configure it interactively or

iteratively.

NOTE: If you specify setting=rootpw but do not specify the other name=value pair parameters, you enter interactive

mode, and the command line prompts you for the remaining values.

The following table displays the valid parameters for the command.

Table 37. SNMP Root Password Parameters

name=value pair Description

setting=rootpw Required

oldpw=<

oldpassword

> Enter the old SNMP root password

newpw=<

newpassword

> Sets the new SNMP root password

confirmnewpw=<

newpassword

> Confirms the new SNMP root password

When you type omconfig preferences snmp setting=rootpw, the system prompts you to supply values

for the required parameters.

When you type omconfig preferences snmp, you must supply all the parameters in the initial command line. For

example:

omconfig preferences snmp setting=rootpw oldpw=openmanage newpw=serveradmin

confirmnewpw=serveradmin
