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 omconfig system webserver or omconfig servermodule
webserver.
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 Glossary at dell.com/support/
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:
NOTE: Do not type command in the Run dialog box to launch a command line window; this
activates the MS-DOS emulator
can cause subtle problems with CLI.
command.com, which has environment variable limitations that
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 -?
The omreport command displays reports of the management information of the system.
13
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
command. For more information on the corresponding CLI syntax, see the Dell Update Packages
for Operating Systems User’s Guide
dell.com/support/manuals.

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
CommandMessage
omconfig chassis temps index=0
warnthresh= default
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:
When you type the revised command with three decimal points, you receive another error message:
Message
Revised command
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.
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 re-configuration.
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.
15
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:
In each chapter of this document, command syntax and other information about the commands are
formatted using any of the following fields as appropriate:
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 -?, the CLI help lists all the subcommands available for omconfig
:
system
•alertaction
•alertlog
•assetinfo
•cmdlog
•esmlog
•events
•platformevents
•pedestinations
•recovery
•shutdown
•thrmshutdown
•webserver
Also parse the omconfig system assetinfo command as follows:
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
17
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:

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.
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.

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.
