1 Introduction OpenManage Server Administrator (OMSA) provides a comprehensive, one-to-one systems management solution through either an integrated Web browser-based graphical user interface (GUI) or a command line interface (CLI). Server Administrator is designed for system administrators to manage systems locally and remotely on a network. It allows system administrators to manage their entire network by providing a comprehensive one-to-one systems management.
NOTE: For the list of supported operating systems and Dell servers, see the Dell EMC OpenManage Software Support Matrix in the required version of OpenManage Software at dell.com/openmanagemanuals. Accessing the windows command prompt to run CLI commands If you are running the Microsoft Windows operating system, use the 32-bit command prompt to run a Server Administrator CLI command.
Table 1. Commands And Messages Command Message omconfig chassis temps index=0 warnthresh= default Temperature probe warning threshold value(s) set successfully. omconfig chassis biossetup attribute=numlock setting=on BIOS setup configured successfully. Change will take effect after the next reboot. omconfig system assetinfo info=depreciation duration=6 omconfig system assetinfo info=depreciation duration=6 Failure Messages CLI failure messages provide reasons why some commands do not succeed.
scripted, sent to all managed systems, and executed. Asset information that is unique to a system is scripted as a group and sent to that managed node for execution. For example, a script could specify values for all unique variables such as the owner, primary user phone number, asset tag, and so on. Scripts to populate unique values would set all unique variables at once rather than one by one through the system's command line.
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).
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.
omreport (about, chassis, storage, and system). Command level 3 lists the specific objects and components to view reports. User privilege required refers to the type of privilege you need to run the command, where U = User, P = Power User, and A = Administrator. Use is a very general statement about the actions performed using omreport. The following table lists the omreport commands available for about, system, and main system chassis. Table 7.
Command Level 1 CommandLevel 2 Command Level 3 User Privilege Required Use information and the front panel LCD information. fru U, P, A Displays the Field Replaceable Unit (FRU) information. hwperformance U, P, A Displays the status and cause for the system’s performance degradation. info U, P, A Displays a status summary for main system chassis components. intrusion U, P, A Displays the status of the system’s intrusion sensor(s).
Command Level 1 18 CommandLevel 2 Command Level 3 User Privilege Required Use pwrsupplies U, P, A Displays the properties of power supplies. remoteaccess U, P, A Displays general information on remote access. slots U, P, A Displays the properties of the system’s expansion slots and other slot types. temps U, P, A Displays the status and thresholds for the system temperature sensors. volts U, P, A Displays the status and thresholds for the system voltage sensors.
Command Level 1 CommandLevel 2 preferences Command Level 3 User Privilege Required Use events U, P, A Displays the system’s Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) event settings. operatingsystem U, P, A Displays the name and version of the operating system. pedestinations U, P, A Displays the destinations to send the configured alerts for platform events.

Therefore, for a computer named "myOmsa" running Server Administrator, the default name is "myOmsa–omsa". This is the name of Server Administrator defined in Active Directory by using the snap-in tool. This name must match the name for the application object in Active Directory in order to find user privileges. NOTE: This command is applicable only on systems running the Windows operating system. The following table displays the valid parameters for the command: Table 59.

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 226.
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. Saving Command Results To A File That Is Overwritten Use the -outc option when you want to overwrite data stored in previously written files. 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.txt.
compare these results with output for the same probe obtained four hours later, you can use the -outa command to append the new output to fans.txt. Type: omreport chassis fans index=0 -outa fans.txt or omreport mainsystem fans index=0 -outa fans.txt Fans.txt now reads as follows: Table 229.
• Custom delimited format (cdv) The syntax for the formatting option is: -fmt For example, type: omreport system summary -fmt tbl or omreport servermodule summary -fmt tbl where -fmt tbl specifies table format. You can combine the formatting option with the option to direct output to a file. For example, type: omreport system summary -fmt tbl -outa summary.txt or omreport servermodule summary -fmt tbl -outa summary.
Semicolon-Separated Values (ssv) Use the ssv formatting option to deliver output formatted in semicolon-separated value format. This format also allows you to import the command output results into a spreadsheet program such as Microsoft Excel, or into a database program.
