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: 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. For more information on the corresponding CLI syntax, see the Dell Update Packages for Operating Systems User’s Guide or the OpenManage Server Update Utility User’s Guide at dell.com/support/manuals.
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. Scripting And Comparing Using CLI The Server Administrator CLI allows administrators to write batch programs for the operating system.
The following is an example of nine name=value pairs: omconfig system assetinfo info=acquisition purchasecost= waybill= installdate= purchasedate= ponum= signauth= expensed=|no> costcenter= In each chapter of this document, command syntax and other information about the commands are formatted using any of the following fields as appropriate: Table 4.
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.
Command summary of the omreport command Depending on the system configuration, the results of the omreport command vary from one system to another. Data displays for installed components only. 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.

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.
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.txt. To 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.
• • Table (tbl) 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.
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 | 143.166.152.1 | MAC Address | 00-02-b3-23-d2-ca Semicolon-Separated Values Use the ssv formatting option to deliver output formatted in semicolon-separated value format.
