Reference Guide
name=value pair Description
action=powercycle Turns off electrical power to the system, pauses, turns the power on, and reboots
the system. Power cycling is useful when you want to re-initialize system
components such as hard drives.
timer=<n> Number of seconds that must pass before the system is considered to have a
hung operating system (from 20 seconds to 480 seconds).
Example Recovery Commands
To set the action on hung operating system detection to powercycle, type:
omconfig system recovery action=powercycle
or
omconfig servermodule recovery action=powercycle
To set the system to hang for 120 seconds, before a recovery action is initiated, type:
omconfig system recovery timer=120
or
omconfig servermodule recovery timer=120
Omconfig System Shutdown Or Omconfig Servermodule Shutdown
Use the omconfig system shutdown or omconfig servermodule shutdown command to determine the
way in which the system shuts down. During system shutdown, the default is to shut down the operating
system before powering off the system. Shutting down the operating system first closes down the file
system before powering the system down. If you do not want to shut down the operating system first,
use the osfirst=false parameter. The following table displays the valid parameters for the command.
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.
