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.
Access the 32-bit command prompt using one of the following methods:
• Click Start > Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt.
• Click Start > Run and type cmd.exe.
NOTE
: Do not type command in the Run dialog box to launch a command line window; this activates the MS-DOS emulator
command.com, which has environment variable limitations that can cause subtle problems with CLI.
Primary CLI Commands
The commands that carry out the functions of Server Administrator are:
• omcong
• omhelp
• omreport
The omcong command writes values that you assign to an object's properties. You can specify values for warning thresholds on
components or prescribe actions that the system must perform when a certain warning or failure event occurs. You can also use the
omcong command to assign specic values to the system's asset information parameters, such as the purchase price of the system, the
system's asset tag, or the system's location.
The omhelp command displays short-text help for CLI commands. The shorthand equivalent of omhelp is the command for which you want
help followed by -?. For example, to display help for the omreport command, type one of the following commands:
• omhelp omreport
• omreport -?
The omreport command displays reports of the management information of the system.
NOTE
: For an overall summary of the CLI commands, type omhelp.
