Introduction

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 manage their entire network by providing a comprehensive one-to-one 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.

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: The CLI does not use the Server Administrator Web server. For concerns on encryption, from the CLI, run the omconfig system webserver action=stop command to turn off the Web server. The Web server starts automatically after a reboot, so you must run this command each time the system is rebooted. . For more information, see

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 terms used in this document, see the

omconfig system webserver or omconfig servermodule webserver.

NOTE: CLI commands are not supported on systems running the VMware ESXi operating system.

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 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:

omconfig command to assign specific values to the system's asset information parameters,

• 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.

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 <package name> /s [/f command. For more information on the corresponding CLI syntax, see the

Utility User’s Guide

or the

Dell OpenManage Server Update

CLI Error Checking And Error Messages

When you type CLI commands, the CLI checks these commands for the 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 type a successful omconfig command, data for that component is displayed.

The following omconfig command examples displays valid CLI commands and their success messages:

Table 1. Commands And Messages

Command Message

omconfig chassis temps index=0 warnthresh= default

omconfig chassis biossetup attribute=numlock setting=on

omconfig system assetinfo info=depreciation 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.

Temperature probe warning threshold value(s) set successfully.

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

omconfig system assetinfo info=depreciation duration=6

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.

The following are examples of some failure messages:

Command

Message

Revised command

When you type the revised command with three decimal points, you receive another error message:

Message

Revised command

Message

omconfig chassis volts index=3 minwarnthresh=3.3000

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.

omconfig chassis volts index=3 minwarnthresh=3.300

Error! This voltage probe min warning threshold must be between 11.400 and 12.480.

omconfig chassis volts index=3 minwarnthresh=11.500

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 specifies the warning thresholds for each major component of a system and also specifies a set of actions that the administrator wants each system to take in case of a warning or failure event. In 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.

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 are executed, 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.

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

In this example, 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=<n> waybill=<n> installdate=<mmddyy> purchasedate=<mmddyy> ponum=<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

Using The omhelp Command

The omhelp command and its equivalent, < 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.

command

> -?, accesses the detailed help-text interface of Command Line

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

• about

• preferences

• chassis

• system

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

• alertaction

• alertlog

• assetinfo

• cmdlog

• esmlog

• events

• platformevents

• pedestinations

• recovery

• shutdown

• thrmshutdown

• webserver

omconfig:

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 displays 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.

For one info value, specify one or more optional parameter(s).

The following table displays the optional parameters for info=acquisition:

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.

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. The following table lists the systems on which the omreport commands are applicable:

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. On Microsoft Windows systems, data about the external chassis does not appear in the omreport output.

The following table provides a high-level summary of the omreport command. The column titled Command level 1 displays 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.

The following table lists the omreport commands available for about, system, and main system chassis.
