Omconfig: Managing Components Using The
Instrumentation Service
The omconfig command allows you to provide values that define warning events, configure alert actions, clear logs, and
configure system shutdown, as well as perform other systems management tasks.
Examples of omconfig capabilities include:
• Administrator privilege to clear command, alert, and hardware logs
• Administrator privilege to configure and execute system shutdown
• Power user and administrator privilege to specify values for warning events on fans, voltage probes, and
temperature probes
• Power user and administrator privilege to set alert actions in case of a warning or failure event from intrusion, fans,
voltage probes, and temperature probes
For more information on using the omconfig command to view and manage cost of ownership information (assetinfo),
see Omconfig System Or Servermodule Assetinfo Editing Cost Of Ownership Values.
Often, you must use the omreport commands to get the information required to execute an omconfig command. For
example, to edit the minimum temperature for a warning event on a temperature probe, you must know the index of the
probe. Use the omreport chassis temps or omreport mainsystem temp command to display a list of probes and their
indexes. For more information on using the omreport command, see Omreport: Viewing System Status Using The
Instrumentation Service.

Conventions For Parameter Tables
When listing the parameters that a command can take, the parameters are listed in alphabetical order instead of the
order in which they appear in the command line interface.
The symbol |, often called pipe , is the logical exclusive or operator. For example, enable | disable means you can enable
or disable the component or feature, but you cannot simultaneously enable and disable the component or feature.
