Omconfig System Or Omconfig Servermodule
Use the omconfig system or omconfig servermodule commands to clear logs, determine how various shutdown actions occur,
set initial values or edit values for cost of ownership information, and determine how to respond to a hung operating system.
Omconfig System Alertaction Or Omconfig Servermodule
Alertaction
You can use the omconfig system alertaction or omconfig servermodule alertaction command to determine how
Server Administrator responds when a component has a warning or failure event.
Defining alert actions
An alert action is an action that you specify for the system to take when specified conditions are met. Alert actions determine in advance
what actions to take for warning or failure events on intrusion, fans, temperatures, voltages, power supplies, memory, and redundancy.
For example, if a fan probe on the system reads a fan RPM of 300 and your minimum warning threshold value for that fan probe is 600
RPM, then the system generates a fan probe warning. Alert action settings determine how users are notified of this event. You can also
configure alert actions for temperature, voltage, and probe readings that fall within the warning or failure range.
Syntax For Setting Alert Actions
Setting an alert action requires two name=value pairs. The first name=value pair is the event type. The second name=value pair is the
action to take for this event. For example, in the command:
omconfig system alertaction event=powersupply broadcast=true
or
omconfig servermodule alertaction event=powersupply broadcast=true
The event is a power supply failure and the action is to broadcast a message to all Server Administrator users.
Available alert actions
The following table displays the alert actions for each component that allows you to configure an alert action:
Table 66. Valid Parameters of Alert Actions For Warning and Failure Events
Alert Action Setting Description
alert=true | false
true: Enables the system's console alert. When enabled, the
monitor attached to the system from which you are running Server
Administrator displays a visual alert message.
false: Disables the system's console alert.
broadcast=true | false
true: Enables a message or alert to broadcast to all users who have
an active terminal (or Remote Desktop) session (Windows) or to
operators that have an active shell on the local system (Linux.)
false: Disables alert broadcasts.
clearall=true Clears all actions for this event.
execappath=<string>
Sets the fully qualified path and file name of the application you
want to execute in case of an event for the component described
in this window.
NOTE: On Linux systems, user or user groups upgraded
to administrator or administrator groups cannot
configure this alert action setting.
