Introduction

Overview

Dell 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 focus on managing their entire network by providing a comprehensive one-toone systems management.

In the context of Server Administrator, a system refers to a stand-alone system, a system with attached network storage units in a separate chassis, or a Blade system consisting of one or more server modules in a modular enclosure.

Server Administrator provides easy-to-use management and administration of local and remote systems through a comprehensive set of integrated management services. Server Administrator is the sole installation on the system being managed and is accessible both locally and remotely from the Server Administrator home page. Server Administrator enables you to access remotely monitored systems by dial-in, LAN, or wireless connections.

The configuration features enable Server Administrator to perform essential tasks described in detail in the following sections. This CLI guide documents all the commands that apply to Server Administrator and Storage Management.

Introduction 15

The reporting and viewing features enable retrieval of the overall health status for systems on the network. You can view information about voltage, temperature, fan's revolutions per minute (RPM), memory functioning, and many other critical details at the component level. You can also see a detailed account of the cost of ownership (COO) about the system, retrieve version information about the BIOS, firmware, operating system, and all installed software.

NOTE: Use the CLI instead of the Server Administrator home page, and turn the

Server Administrator Web server off for concerns on encryption. The CLI does not use the Web server. Run the omconfig system webserver action=stop command to turn off the Web server. The Web server starts automatically after a reboot, so run this command each time a system starts up. See "omconfig system webserver or omconfig servermodule webserver" on page 169 for more information.

NOTE: After installing Dell OpenManage Server Administrator, ensure that you log

out and log in to reset the path to access Dell OpenManage CLI utilities.

NOTE: For information on the terms used in this document, see the Glossary at

support.dell.com/manuals.

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

Start

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.

Run

and type

cmd.exe

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 action 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 -?

The omreport command displays reports of the management information of the system.

NOTE: For an overall summary of the CLI commands, type omhelp.

18 Introduction

• "Working With CLI Command Results" on page 285

CLI Error Checking and Error Messages

When you type CLI commands, the CLI checks these commands for correct syntax. If you type a command and the command is executed successfully, a message is displayed, stating that the command is successful.

Success Messages

When you run a successful omconfig command, data for that component is displayed.

The following table provides examples of valid omconfig commands and their success messages.

Introduction 19

Table 1-2. Commands and Messages

Command Message

omconfig chassis temps index=0 warnthresh= default

Temperature probe warning threshold value(s) set successfully.

omconfig chassis biossetup attribute=numlock setting=on

BIOS setup configured successfully. Change will take effect after the next reboot.

omconfig system assetinfo info=depreciation

Asset information set successfully.

duration=6

NOTE: Due to limitations, some commands do not alter the system settings even

though the commands are executed successfully. This is an expected behavior.

Failure Messages

CLI failure messages provide reasons why some commands do not succeed. Some common reasons why commands fail include syntax errors and components that are not present. Many error messages provide syntax information required to execute the command successfully.

If you execute a command for a component or feature that is not present in the system configuration, the error message states that the component is not present.

Command:

omconfig chassis volts index=3 minwarnthresh=

3.3000

20 Introduction

Message:

Error! Number with up to 3 digits after decimal point expected, read 3.3000

The value given by the command specifies more than 3 digits after the decimal point. A valid minimum warning threshold value for volts contains up to 3 digits after the decimal point.

Revised command:

omconfig chassis volts index=3 minwarnthresh=3.300

When you type the revised command with three decimal points, you receive another error 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. For an enterprise with many systems, an administrator could write a configuration script that specified the warning thresholds for each major component of a system and also specified a set of actions that the administrator wants each system to take in case of a warning or failure event. In the most critical cases, the administrator could write a script so that the system shuts down to prevent damage. The administrator could then distribute and execute the script to many managed systems at the same time. Such a scenario facilitates configuring any number of new systems acquired by a company and makes implementation of new system administration policies easier across many existing systems that require reconfiguration.

Introduction 21

A similar scenario is used to populate a large number of newly acquired systems with detailed asset information. Much of the information are the same, such as the manufacturer or lessor of the system, whether support for the system is outsourced, name of the company providing insurance for the system, method of depreciation, and so on. Any variable that is common to all systems is scripted, sent to all managed systems, and executed. Asset information that is unique to a system is scripted as a group and sent to that managed node for execution. For example, a script could specify values for all unique variables such as the owner, primary user phone number, asset tag, and so on. Scripts to populate unique values would set all unique variables at once rather than one by one through the system's command line.

In many cases, the CLI allows a user with a very well-defined task in mind to retrieve information about the system rapidly. If a user wants to review a comprehensive summary of all system components and save that summary information to a file for comparison with later system states, the CLI is ideal.

Using CLI commands, administrators can write batch programs or scripts to execute at specific times. When these programs execute, they can capture reports on components of interest, such as fan RPMs during periods of highest system usage compared with the same measurements at times of lowest system usage. Command results are routed to a file for later analysis. Reports can help administrators gain information that are used to adjust usage patterns, to justify purchasing new system resources, or to focus on the health of a problem component.

Command Syntax Overview

Commands vary in complexity. The simplest command has only command level 1. The omhelp command is a simple command. When you type omhelp, a list of the main CLI commands is displayed.

The next level of complexity includes commands that contain command levels 1 and 2. All of the about commands are examples of command level 2 complexity. The omconfig about and omreport about commands display a very brief summary. The summary shows version information for the systems management software installed on the system; for example, Server Administrator 1.x.

22 Introduction

Some commands have command level 1 and command level 2 and one name=value pair. Consider the following example command that instructs Server Administrator for more details about the environment for Server Administrator:

omreport about details=true

Command level 1 is omreport, command level 2 is about, and the name= value pair is details=true.

Many commands use command level 1, command level 2, and command level 3, but do not require any parameters (name=value pairs.) Most omreport commands are of this type. For example, the following command displays a list of alert actions that are configured for components on a system.

omreport system alertaction

The most complex commands have all three command levels and can have multiple name=value pairs. The following is an example of two name=value pairs:

omconfig system assetinfo info=depreciation duration=3

The following is an example of nine name=value pairs:

omconfig system assetinfo info=acquisition purchasecost= purchasedate=<mmddyy> ponum=

<n> waybill=<n> installdate=<mmddyy>

<n> signauth=<text>

expensed=<yes | no> costcenter=<text>

In each chapter of this document, command syntax and other information about the commands are formatted using any of the following fields as appropriate:

command level 1

command level 2

command level 3

name=value pair 1

name=value pair 2

Introduction 23

24 Introduction

Using the omhelp Command

The omhelp command and its equivalent, <command> -?, 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.)

By appending -? (space-dash-question mark) to any command, you can get help for that command.

Example Help Commands

When you type omconfig -?, you get general help about the omconfig command. The help at this level lists the available subcommands for omconfig:

•about

• preferences

•chassis

•system

When you type omconfig system -?, CLI help lists all the subcommands available for omconfig system:

•alertaction

•alertlog

•assetinfo

•cmdlog

•esmlog

•events

• platformevents

• pedestinations

Using the omhelp Command 25

• recovery

• shutdown

• thrmshutdown

• webserver

Figure 2-1 shows the levels of help for a command.

Figure 2-1. Different Levels of Help for a Command

Also parse the omconfig system assetinfo command as follows:

<command level 1 command level 2 command level 3> <name=value pair 1> [name=value pair 2]

where command levels 1, 2, and 3 are represented by omconfig system assetinfo, name=value pair 1 is represented by info=depreciation, and name=value pair 2 is represented by method=straightline.

To set the depreciation method to straight line, type:

omconfig system assetinfo info=depreciation method=straightline

The CLI responds with the following message:

Asset information set successfully.

When you type omconfig system assetinfo -?, the help that is displayed provides information about assigning values for the name and option fields. Partial results for the request omconfig system assetinfo -? are as follows:

assetinfo Set asset information.

26 Using the omhelp Command

For one info value, specify one or more optional parameter(s.) Table 2-1 lists the optional parameters for info=acquisition:

Table 2-1. Optional Parameters

Info Value Optional parameters

Info=acquisition purchasecost=<num>

waybill=<num> installdate=<mmddyy> purchasedate=<mmddyy> ponum=<num> signauth=<text> expensed=<yes|no> costcenter=<text> info=depreciation method=<text> duration=<num> percent=<percent> unit=<months|years|unknown>

28 Using the omhelp Command

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. The fields are defined only if they have a special or less familiar use.

As with all other components, use omreport to view component status, and omconfig to manage a component. For information on configuring components for management, see "omconfig: Managing Components Using the Instrumentation Service" on page 89.

Use the omreport commands to get information you need to execute an omconfig command. For example, to edit the minimum temperature for a warning event on a temperature probe, you must know the index of the probe you want to configure. Use omreport chassis temps to display a list of probes and their indexes.

The omreport commands available on the system depend on the system configuration. Table 3-1 lists the systems on which the omreport commands are applicable.

Conventions for Parameter Tables

When listing the parameters for a command, the parameters are listed in alphabetical order instead of the order in which they appear in the command line interface (CLI).

The symbol |, often called pipe, is the logical exclusive or operator. For example, enable | disable means enable or disable the component or feature.

Command Summary of the omreport Command

Although this chapter lists all possible omreport commands, the commands available on the system depend on the system configuration. The results of the omreport command may vary from one system to another. The omreport command displays data for the 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 systems, omreport commands display external chassis information in a separate section after the main chassis information. On Microsoft Windows systems, data about the external chassis does not appear in the omreport output.

Enterprise Linux

Table 3-2 provides a high-level summary of the omreport command. The column titled Command level 1 shows the omreport command at its most general use. Command level 2 shows the major objects or components that you can view using omreport (about, chassis, storage, and system).

Command level 3 lists the specific objects and components to view reports. User privilege required refers to the type of privilege you need to run the

command, where U=User, P=Power User, and A=Administrator. Use is a very general statement about the actions performed using omreport. More details about the syntax and use of the command appear later in this section.

Server Administrator displays values for the following fields: Port Type,

External Name, Base I/O Address, IRQ Level, Connector Type, and Maximum Speed.

omreport: Viewing System Status Using the Instrumentation Service 55

Port Type is the detailed type of each system port, from the more general serial, parallel, and USB ports to the names of ports by device type connected to it, for example, pointing device or keyboard.

External Name is the name of the port, such as serial or parallel, USB, mouse, keyboard, and so on.

Base I/O Address is the starting I/O address expressed in hexadecimal.

IRQ Level is a hardware interrupt on a system. The hardware interrupt signals

the system's CPU that an event has started or ended in a peripheral component such as a modem or printer. When communicated over a peripheral component interconnect card, the IRQ level is a standard way to identify the type of device that is sending the interrupt request.

Connector Type refers to the type of plug or cable and plug that connects two devices together, in this case, the type of connector that attaches an external device to a system. There are many connector types, each designed to connect a different device type to a system. Examples include DB-9 Male, AT, Access Bus, PS/2, and so on.

Maximum Speed is the port speed. Port speed refers to the data transmission rate of an input/output channel, measured in numbers of bits per second. Serial ports usually have a maximum speed of 115 Kbps and USB version 1.x ports have a maximum speed of 12 Kbps.

Index is the processor number.

Status is the current status of the processor.

Connector Name is the name or number of the device that occupies the

processor slot in the system.

Processor Brand is the type of processor made by a manufacturer such as Intel Itanium, Intel Pentium III, Intel Xeon, or AMD Opteron.

Processor Version is the model and stepping number of the processor.

56 omreport: Viewing System Status Using the Instrumentation Service

Current Speed is the actual processor speed in MegaHertz at system boot time.

State is whether the processor slot is enabled or disabled.

Core Count is the number of processors integrated into one chip.

omreport: Viewing System Status Using the Instrumentation Service 57

The following fields are defined for a cache present on a particular microprocessor. If the cache is internal to the processor, the fields do not appear in the cache report:

• Speed

• Cache Device Supported Type

• Cache Device Current Type

•External Socket Name

NOTE: Due to the limitations of certain operating systems (for example, VMware

ESXi), certain features are not available with this release of OpenManage Server Administrator.

Fields Reported for Each Cache on a Particular Processor

The following fields are displayed for each cache on a particular processor:

Status reports whether a specific cache on the processor is enabled or disabled.

Level refers to a primary or secondary cache. Primary-level cache is a memory bank built into the processor. Secondary-level cache is a staging area that feeds the primary cache. A secondary-level cache is built into the processor or resides in a memory chipset outside the processor. The internal processor cache is referred to as a Level 1 (or L1). L2 cache is the external cache in a system with an Intel Pentium processor, and it is the second level of cache that is accessed. The names L1 and L2 are not indicative of where the cache is physically located (internal or external), but describe which cache is accessed first (L1, therefore internal).

Speed refers to the rate at which the cache can forward data from the main memory to the processor.

Max Size is the maximum amount of memory that the cache can hold in kilobytes.

Installed Size is the actual size of the cache.

Ty p e indicates whether the cache is primary or secondary.

Location is the location of the cache on the processor or on a chipset outside

the processor.

58 omreport: Viewing System Status Using the Instrumentation Service

A Write Policy describes how the cache deals with a write cycle. In a write-back policy, the cache acts like a buffer. When the processor starts a write cycle, the cache receives the data and stops the cycle. The cache then writes the data back to the main memory when the system bus is available.

In a write-through policy, the processor writes through the cache to the main memory. The write cycle does not complete until the data is stored into the main memory.

Associativity refers to the way in which main memory content is stored on the cache.

• A fully associative cache allows any line in main memory to store at any location in the cache.

•A

-way set-associative cache directly maps n specific lines of memory to

the same

lines of cache. For example, line 0 of any page in memory is

stored in line 0 of cache memory.

Cache Device Supported Type is the type of static random access memory (SRAM) that the device can support.

Cache Device Current Type is the type of the currently installed SRAM that the cache is supporting.

External Socket Name Silk Screen Name is the name printed on the system board next to the socket.

Error Correction Type identifies the type of error checking and correction (ECC) that this memory can perform. Examples are correctable ECC or uncorrectable ECC.

This report shows cache information for each cache present on the microprocessor.

omconfig: Managing Components Using the Instrumentation Service

The omconfig command allows you to provide values that define warning events, configure alert actions, clear logs, and configure system shutdown, as well as perform other systems management tasks.

Examples of omconfig capabilities include:

• Administrator privilege to clear command, alert, and hardware logs

• Administrator privilege to configure and execute system shutdown

• Power user and administrator privilege to specify values for warning events on fans, voltage probes, and temperature probes

• Power user and administrator privilege to set alert actions in case of a warning or failure event from intrusion, fans, voltage probes, and temperature probes

For information on using the omconfig command to view and manage cost of ownership information (assetinfo), see "omconfig system or servermodule assetinfo: Editing Cost of Ownership Values" on page 175.

Often, you must use the omreport command to get the information required to execute an omconfig command. For example, to edit the minimum temperature for a warning event on a temperature probe, you must know the index of the probe. Use the omreport chassis temps or omreport mainsystem temp command to display a list of probes and their indexes. For more information on using the omreport command, see "omreport: Viewing System Status Using the Instrumentation Service" on page 29.

Conventions for Parameter Tables

When listing the parameters that a command can take, the parameters are listed in alphabetical order instead of the order in which they appear in the command line interface (CLI).

The symbol |, often called pipe, is the logical exclusive or operator. For example, enable | disable means you can enable or disable the component or feature, but you cannot simultaneously enable and disable the component or feature.

omconfig Command Summary

Table 4-2 is a high-level summary of the omconfig command. The columns titled Command level 2 and Command level 3 list the major arguments that are used with omconfig. User privilege required refers to the type of privilege you need to run the command, where U=User, P=Power User, and A= Administrator. Use is a very general statement about the actions that are performed using omconfig. More information about the syntax and use of the omconfig command appear later in this section.

NOTE: Although the table lists all possible omconfig commands, the commands

available on the system depend on the system configuration. If you try to get help or execute a command for a component not installed on the system, Server Administrator displays a message that the component or feature is not found on the system.

NOTE: When CSIOR (Collect System Inventory on Restart) is disabled, omconfig

does not allow to configure the BIOS settings.
