Omconfig system platformevents or omconfig
servermodule platformevents
Use the omconfig system platformevents or omconfig servermodule platformevents command to configure
shutdown action, if any, taken for a specific platform event. You can also enable or disable platform event filter alert generation.
CAUTION: If you set a platform event shutdown action to anything other than none or power reduction , the system is
forcefully shut down when the specified event occurs. This shutdown is initiated by firmware and is carried out without
first shutting down the operating system or any of the applications running on your system.
The following table displays the valid parameters for the command.
NOTE: Alert settings are mutually exclusive and you can set one at a time only. The action settings are also mutually
exclusive and you can set one at a time only. However, alert and action settings are not mutually exclusive of each other.
Table 69. Parameters For Alert Action Command
Action Description
action=disable Disables the SNMP alert.
action=enable Enables the SNMP alert.
action=none Takes no action when the system is hung or has crashed.
action=powercycle Turns off the electrical power to the system, pauses, turns on the power, and reboots the system.
action=poweroff Turns off the electrical power to the system.
action=powerreduction Reduces the processor speed until the power consumption comes down and reaches below the warning
threshold. If the system power consumption remains below the warning threshold, increase the processor
speed.
NOTE: This action is applicable only for PowerEdge Rack and Tower systems earlier than 11th
generation of PowerEdge systems.
action=reboot Forces the operating system to shut down and initiates system startup, performs BIOS checks, and reloads
the operating system.
Components and events of platform events
The following table lists the components and the events for which you can set platform events. Components are listed in alphabetical
order, except that warning events always precede failure events for a component.

Event Name Description
alertsenable=true | false
true: Enables generation of platform event filter alerts.
false: Disables generation of platform event filter alerts.
NOTE: This setting is independent of the individual platform event filter alert
settings. For a platform event filter to generate an alert, both the individual
alert and the global event alert are enabled.
event=batterywarn Sets action or enables or disables alert generation when a battery device detects that the
battery is pending a failure condition.
event=batteryfail Sets action or enables or disables alert generation when a battery device detects that the
