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.
NOTE: For more information about any features, see the OpenManage Server Administrator context-sensitive online
Help.
NOTE: From 9.3.0, the RPM packages in Server Administrator are signed with a new Dell SHA-512 signature key. If
using non interactive or silent method of installation, to verify the authenticity, you must download the key from the
following location: https://linux.dell.com/repo/hardware/dsu/public_gpg3.key, and then import the key to each host
with rpm --import <key file> before installing or upgrading to the current version of Server Administrator. Once
the key is imported, you are not required to import the key every time while installing, or upgrading to the current
version of Server Administrator.
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:
• omconfig
• omhelp
• omreport
The omconfig 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
omconfig command to assign specific 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 -?
