Using The Storage Management Service
The CLI of Storage Management enables you to perform reporting, conguration, and management functions of Storage Management
from an operating system command shell. The Storage Management CLI also enables you to script command sequences.
The Storage Management CLI provides expanded options for the OpenManage Server Administrator omreport and omcong commands.

CLI command syntax
Like all Server Administrator commands, the omreport and omcong command syntax consists of specifying command levels. The rst
command level is the command name: omreport or omcong. Subsequent command levels provide a greater degree of specication
regarding the type of object on which the command operates or the information that the command displays.
For example, the following omcong command syntax has three levels:
omconfig storage pdisk
The following table describes these command levels.
Table 89. Example Command Levels
Command level 1 Command level 2 Command level 3 Use
omcong Species the command
storage Indicates the Server
Administrator service (in this
case, Storage Management) that
implements the command
pdisk Species the type of object on
which the command operates
Following the command levels, the omreport and omcong command syntax may require one or more name=value pairs. The name=value
pairs specify exact objects (such as a specic physical disk) or options (such as blink or unblink) that the command implements.
For example, the following omcong command syntax for blinking a physical disk has three levels and three name=value pairs:
omconfig storage pdisk action=blink controller=id pdisk=<PDISKID>
where PDISKID=<onnector:enclosureID:targetID | connector:targetID>
