• omreport -? The omreport command displays reports of the management information of the system. NOTE: For an overall summary of the CLI commands, type omhelp. NOTE: The omupdate commands are no longer supported in Server Administrator and are replaced by Dell Update Package or the Server Update Utility commands. To update the different components, download the Dell Update Package and run the /s [/f command.
volts contains up to 3 digits after the decimal point. Revised command omconfig chassis volts index=3 minwarnthresh=3.300 When you type the revised command with three decimal points, you receive another error message: Table 3. Error messages for commands with three decimals Message Error! This voltage probe min warning threshold must be between 11.400 and 12.480. Revised command omconfig chassis volts index=3 minwarnthresh=11.500 Message Voltage probe warning threshold(s) set successfully.
Some commands have command level 1 and command level 2 and one name=value pair. Consider the following example command that instructs Server Administrator for more details about the environment for Server Administrator: omreport about details=true In this example, command level 1 is omreport, command level 2 is about, and the name= value pair is details=true. Many commands use command level 1, command level 2, and command level 3, but do not require any parameters (name=value pairs).
2 Using The omhelp Command The omhelp command and its equivalent, -?, accesses the detailed help-text interface of Command Line Interface (CLI). You can get help at several levels of detail. Each fully-qualified CLI command may have a variable number of distinct parts: the command (command level 1), one or more subcommands (command level 2 and command level 3, if present), and one or more name= value pair(s).
The CLI responds with the following message: Asset information set successfully. When you type omconfig system assetinfo -?, the help that displays provides information about assigning values for the name and option fields. Partial results for the request omconfig system assetinfo -? are as follows: assetinfo Set asset information. For one info value, specify one or more optional parameter(s). The following table displays the optional parameters for info=acquisition: Table 5.
3 omreport: Viewing System Status Using The Instrumentation Service The omreport command allows you to see detailed information about the system components. You can also retrieve summaries for many system components at one time, or get details about a specific component. This chapter shows you how to get reports with the level of detail that you want. Commands documented in this chapter vary in whether they define the fields that appear in the results of a particular omreport command.
NOTE: When a system includes an external chassis, the displayed results vary by operating system. On SUSE Linux Enterprise Server and Red Hat Enterprise Linux systems, the omreport commands display external chassis information in a separate section after the main chassis information. On Microsoft Windows systems, data about the external chassis does not appear in the omreport output. The following table provides a high-level summary of the omreport command.

Omconfig Set Enclosure Asset Tag Description Specifies the enclosure’s asset tag.
NOTE: This command is not supported on SAS controllers. Syntax omconfig storage enclosure action=settempprobes controller=id enclosure= index=id minwarn=n maxwarn=n, where id is the controller ID and the temperature probe ID. The variable specifies the enclosure. In this syntax, n is a user-specified alphanumeric string. Example to Set the temperature probe thresholds to 10 and 40 degree Celsius.
Example for SAS controllers omconfig storage enclosure action=setalltempprobes controller=1 enclosure=2:3 minwarn=10 maxwarn=40 Omconfig Reset All Temperature Probe Thresholds Table 201. Omconfig Reset All Temperature Probe Thresholds Description Resets the minimum and maximum warning temperature thresholds back to their default value for all temperature probes in the enclosure. NOTE: This command is not supported on SCSI RAID controllers.
omconfig Start Battery Learn Cycle Table 204. Omconfig Start Battery Learn Cycle Description Starts the battery learn cycle. Syntax omconfig storage battery action=startlearn controller=id battery=id, where id is the controller ID and battery ID as reported by the omreport command. To obtain this value, type omreport storage controller to display the controller IDs and then type omreport storage battery controller=ID to display the ID for the controller battery.
Omconfig Global Enable Smart Thermal Shutdown By default, the operating system and server shut down when the PV220S and PV221S enclosures reach a critical temperature of 0 or 50 degree Celsius. However, if you have implemented connector redundancy on the PV220S and PV221S enclosures you can specify that only the enclosure and not the operating system and server are shut down when the enclosure reaches a critical temperature of 0 or 50 degree Celsius.
Example to Do a global rescan of all controllers. The omconfig command syntax for rescanning all controllers on the system does not require a controller or enclosure ID. NOTE: Global rescan is not supported on non-RAID SCSI and SAS controllers. Reboot the system to make visible the configuration changes on non-RAID SCSI controllers. Example omconfig storage globalinfo action=globalrescan Omconfig Set Hot Spare Protection Policy Table 210.
Table 212. omconfig Connector Commands Required Command Levels Optional name=value pairs (1, 2, 3) omconfig storage connector action=rescan controller=id connector=id Omconfig Rescan Connector Table 213. Omconfig Rescan Connector Description Rescans a controller connector. This command rescans all connectors on the controller and is therefore similar to performing a controller rescan. NOTE: This command is not supported on SAS controllers.
Example to Blinks the physical disk in cachecade 4 on controller 1 Example omconfig storage cachecade action=blink controller=1 cachecade=4 Omconfig Unblink Cachecade Table 216. Omconfig Unblink Cachecade Description Unblinks the physical disks included in a cachecade. Syntax omconfig storage cachecade action=unblink controller=id cachecade=id, where id is the controller ID and the cachecade ID as reported by the omreport command.
Example for SAS controllers omconfig storage cachecade action=resize controller=1 cachecade=4 pdisk= 0:2:0,0:2:1,0:2:2,0:2:3 Example for SCSI, SATA, and ATA controllers omconfig storage cachecade action=resize controller=1 cachecade=4 pdisk=0:0,0:1,0:2,0:3 Omconfig Rename Cachecade Table 219. Omconfig Rename Cachecade Description Renames a cachecade.
Omconfig cryptographic erase Table 222. Omconfig cryptographic erase Description Erases the specified NVMe device. NOTE: This option is supported only on NVMe devices. Syntax omconfig storage nvmeadapter action=cryptographicerase controller=id nvmeid= Example to Erase the NVMe device on the PCI slot 1 of controller 1.
9 Working With CLI Command Results Server Administrator Command Line Interface (CLI) users can use the command output in various ways. This chapter explains how to save command output to a file and how to select a format for the command results that fits different objectives. The following table displays the systems on which omreport commands are applicable. Table 223.
Writing Command Output To A File When redirecting command results to a file, you can specify a filename (and a directory path if necessary) to which you want to write the command result. When specifying the path to which you want to write the file, use the appropriate syntax for the operating system. You can save command results in two ways. You can overwrite any file that has the same name as the output file you specify, or you can keep adding results of commands to a file of the same name.
Maximum Failure Threshold : 6000RPM You cannot refer to the previous command results to compare the earlier fan probe 0 output with the present output because in using the -outc option, you overwrote the fans.txt file. Append command results to an existing file Use the -outa option when you want to append new command results to data stored in a previously written file. For example, at 11:00 A.M. you capture fan probe RPM readings for fan probe 0 on the system and write the results to a file called fans.
normal range. Someone has raised the minimum warning threshold by 200 RPM and has decreased the maximum warning threshold by 2000 RPM. Selecting A Format For The CLI Command Output You can specify a format for the CLI command results. The format determines how the command output is displayed. If the command results are directed to a file, the format is captured by the file to which you write the command results.
Table (tbl) Use the tbl or table formatting option to have the data formatted in table rows and columns. To see the following example command output in table format, type: omreport system summary -fmt tbl or omreport servermodule summary -fmt tbl The example output displays as follows: -----------------------------Network Interface 0 -----------------------------| ATTRIBUTE | VALUE | IP Address | 143.166.152.108 | Subnet Mask | 255.255.255.0 | Default Gateway | 143.166.152.
