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:

• 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 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.

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

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

omconfig chassis volts index=3 minwarnthresh=3.3000

Message

Revised command

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.

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 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.

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=<

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

yes>|no> costcenter=<text>

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, <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:

<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:

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.

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.

The following table displays the fields that are displayed for each cache on a particular processor:

Table 10. Fields And Description

Field Description

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 Maximum amount of memory that the cache can hold in kilobytes.

Installed Size Actual size of the cache.

Type Indicates whether the cache is primary or secondary.

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

processor.

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 n-way set-associative cache directly maps n specific lines of memory to the same n lines of cache. For example, line 0 of any page in memory is stored in line 0 of cache memory.

Field Description

Cache Device Supported Type

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

External Socket Name Silk Screen Name

Error Correction Type Identifies the type of error checking and correction (ECC) that this

Type of static random access memory (SRAM) that the device can support.

Name printed on the system board next to the socket.

memory can perform. Examples are correctable ECC or uncorrectable ECC.

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 more 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.

Often, you must use the omreport commands 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.

The following table displays the system availability for the omconfig command:

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.

omconfig Command Summary

The following table provides 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.

NOTE: Although the following table lists all possible omconfig commands, the commands available on the system depend on the system configuration. If you try to get help or run 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.

Omconfig Chassis Currents Or Omconfig Mainsystem Currents

NOTE: This command is no longer available through Server Administrator.

Omconfig Chassis Fans Or Omconfig Mainsystem Fans

Use the omconfig chassis fans or omconfig mainsystem fans command to set fan probe warning thresholds. As with other components, you can view both warning and failure threshold values, but you cannot set failure thresholds. The system manufacturer sets the minimum and maximum failure thresholds.

Valid Parameters For Fan Warning Thresholds

The following table shows the valid parameters for setting fan warning thresholds:

Table 23. omconfig chassis fans or omconfig chassis fans

name=value pair Description

index= <n> Number of the probe or probe index (must

specify).

warnthresh=default Sets minimum and maximum warning thresholds

to default.

minwarnthresh=<n> Minimum warning threshold.

maxwarnthresh=<n> Maximum warning threshold.

Default Minimum And Maximum Warning Thresholds

NOTE: Systems that contain ESM3, ESM4, and BMC capabilities do not allow you to set warning threshold values to default values.

To set both the upper and lower fan warning threshold values to the recommended default value, type:

omconfig chassis fans index=0 warnthresh=default

omconfig mainsystem fans index=0 warnthresh=default

You cannot default one value and set another. In other words, if you default the minimum warning threshold value, you are also selecting the default value for the maximum warning threshold value.

Specifying A Value For Minimum And Maximum Warning Thresholds

If you prefer to specify values for the fan probe warning thresholds, you must specify the number of the probe you are configuring and the minimum and/or maximum warning threshold values. In the following example, the probe that is being configured is probe 0. The first command sets only the minimum threshold; the second sets the minimum and maximum thresholds:

omconfig chassis fans index=0 minwarnthresh=4580

omconfig mainsystem fans index=0 minwarnthresh=4580

omconfig chassis fans index=0 minwarnthresh=4580 maxwarnthresh=9160

omconfig mainsystem fans index=0 minwarnthresh=4580 maxwarnthresh=9160

When you issue the command and the system sets the values you specify, the following message is displayed:

Fan probe warning threshold(s) set successfully.

NOTE: You cannot set the minimum and maximum warning thresholds for the fan probe on PowerEdge 9G system.

Omconfig Chassis Frontpanel Or Omconfig Mainsystem Frontpanel

Use the omconfig chassis frontpanel or omconfig mainsystem frontpanel command to:

• configure the power button and the Nonmasking Interrupt (NMI) button

• configure the LCD to display:

– No information – Custom information – Default system information – Service tag, system name – Remote access MAC addresses – System power – Remote access IP address – Ambient temperature of the system – Remote access IPv4 address – Remote access IPv6 address

• Specify and configure the LCD line number

• View the encryption state report of the LCD

• Configure LCD to indicate an active remote session when the Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) is available

NOTE: You can configure the Power and NMI buttons only if they are present on the system.

NOTE: The options ipv4idrac, ipv6idrac, and macidrac are deprecated.

Omconfig Chassis Info Or Omconfig Mainsystem Info

Use the omconfig chassis info or omconfig mainsystem info command to enter an asset tag name and a chassis name for the system. For a blade systems, enter asset tag names for modular components as well. The following table displays the valid parameters for the command:

Table 25. Valid Parameters Of Omconfig Chassis Info Or Omconfig Mainsystem Info

name=value pair Description

index=<n> Number of the chassis whose asset tag or name you are setting.

tag=<text> Asset tag in the form of alphanumeric text. Letters or numbers should not exceed

10 characters.

name=<text> Name of the chassis.

In the following example, the asset tag for the main system chassis is being set to buildsys:

omconfig chassis info index=0 tag=buildsys

omconfig mainsystem info index=0 tag=buildsys

Index 0 always defaults to the main system chassis. The following command omits index=n, but accomplishes the same:

omconfig chassis info tag=buildsys

omconfig mainsystem info tag=buildsys

An acceptable command, when executed, results in the following message:

Chassis info set successfully.

For some chassis, you can assign a different name. You cannot rename the main system chassis. In the following example, the command renames chassis 2 from storscsi1 to storscsia:

omconfig chassis info index=2 name=storscsia

omconfig mainsystem info index=2 name=storscsia

As with other commands, the CLI issues an error message if you do not have a chassis 2 (the main chassis=0). The CLI allows you to issue commands only for the system configuration you have.

Omconfig Chassis Leds Or Omconfig Mainsystem Leds

Use the omconfig chassis leds or omconfig mainsystem leds command to specify when to flash a chassis fault LED or chassis identification LED. This command also allows you to clear the LED of the system hard drive. The following table displays the valid parameters for the command.

Table 26. Valid Parameters Of Omconfig Chassis Leds Or Omconfig Mainsystem Leds

name=value pair 1 name=value pair 2 Description

index=<n> NA Number of the chassis where the LED resides

(defaults to chassis 0, main system chassis).

led=fault severity=warning | critical Select to flash the LED either when a warning

event occurs or when a critical event occurs.

led=hdfault action=clear Sets the number of faults for the hard drive

back to zero (0).

led=identify flash=off | on time-out=<n> Sets the chassis identification LED to off or on.

Set the time-out value for the LED to flash to a number of seconds.

Omconfig Chassis Memorymode Or Omconfig Mainsystem Memorymode

Use the omconfig chassis memorymode or omconfig mainsystem memorymode command to specify the redundancy mode to use for the system memory in case of memory errors.

Redundant memory enables a system to switch to other available memory modules if unacceptable errors are detected in the modules that the system is currently using. The omconfig chassis memorymode or omconfig mainsystem memorymode command allows you to disable redundancy; when you disable redundancy, you instruct the system not to switch to other available memory modules when the memory module the system is using begins to encounter errors. To enable redundancy, choose among spare, mirror, raid, and DDDC.

Spare mode disables a bank of system memory in which a correctable memory event is detected, enables the spare bank, and copies all the data from the original bank to the spare bank. Spare bank requires at least three banks of identical memory; the operating system does not recognize the spare bank.

Mirror mode switches to a redundant copy of memory when an uncorrectable memory event is detected. After switching to the mirrored memory, the system does not switch back to the original system memory until the next reboot. The operating system does not recognize half of the installed system memory in this mode.

RAID mode provides an extra level of memory checking and error recovery at the expense of some memory capacity.

The DDDC mode enables double device data correction. This ensures data availability after hard failure of x4 DRAM.

NOTE: This command is applicable only on systems prior to PowerEdge 12G systems. On PowerEdge 12G systems, memorymode is grouped under Memory Settings of the BIOS setup group. For more information, see BIOS Setup Groups on PowerEdge 12G Systems.

To configure the attribute on systems prior to PowerEdge 12G, see the following table. The table displays the valid parameters for the command.

Table 27. Valid Parameters Of Omconfig Chassis Memorymode Or Omconfig Mainsystem Memorymode

name=value pair 1 Description

index=<n> Number of the chassis where the memory module

resides (the default is chassis 0, the main system chassis).

redundancy=spare | mirror | disabled | raid5 | dddc

spare: Disables the memory module that has a correctable memory event and copies the failing module’s data to a spare bank.

mirror: Switches the systems to a mirrored copy of the memory if the failing module has an uncorrectable memory event. In the mirror mode, the operating system does not switch back to the original module until the system reboot.

disabled: Indicates that the system is not to use other available memory modules if uncorrectable memory events are detected.

raid5: Method of system memory configuration. This is logically similar to the RAID-5 mode used in hard drive storage systems. This memory mode provides an extra level of memory checking and error recovery at the expense of some memory capacity. The RAID mode supported is RAID level 5 striping with rotational parity.

dddc: The dddc mode enables double device data correction. This ensures data availability after hard failure of x4 DRAM.

opmode=mirror | optimizer | advecc

optimizer: Enables the DRAM controllers to operate independently in 64-bit mode and provide optimized memory performance.

name=value pair 1 Description

advanced ECC (advecc): Enables the two DRAM

controllers to combine in 128-bit mode and provide optimized reliability. Memory that are not teamed by the controllers is not reported to the operating system.

Omconfig Chassis Pwrmanagement Or Omconfig Mainsystem Pwrmanagement

Omconfig Chassis Temps Or Omconfig Mainsystem Temps

Use the omconfig chassis temps or omconfig mainsystem temps command to set warning thresholds for temperature probes. As with other components, you can view both warning and failure threshold values, but you cannot set failure threshold values. The system manufacturer sets the minimum and maximum failure threshold values.

NOTE: Threshold values that you can set vary from one system configuration to another.

Valid Parameters For Temperature Warning Thresholds

The following table displays the valid parameters for setting temperature warning thresholds:

Table 33. Valid Parameters For Omconfig Chassis Temps Or Omconfig Mainsystem Temps

name=value pair Description

index=<n> Number of the probe or probe index (specify).

warnthresh=default Sets the minimum and maximum warning threshold values to default.

minwarnthresh=<n> Sets the minimum warning threshold values (one decimal place).

maxwarnthresh=<n> Sets the maximum warning threshold values (one decimal place).

Setting Minimum And Maximum Warning Threshold Values

To set both the upper and lower temperature warning threshold values to the recommended default value, type:

omconfig chassis temps index=0 warnthresh=default

omconfig mainsystem temps index=0 warnthresh=default

You cannot default one value and set another. In other words, if you set the minimum warning threshold value to the default value, you are also selecting the default value for the maximum warning threshold value.

NOTE: The capabilities for managing sensors vary by systems.

Specify A Value For Minimum And Maximum Warning Thresholds

To specify values for the temperature probe warning thresholds, you must specify the number of the probe you are configuring and the minimum and/or maximum warning threshold value. In the following example, the probe that is being configured is probe 4:

omconfig chassis temps index=4 minwarnthresh=11.2 maxwarnthresh=58.7

omconfig mainsystem temps index=4 minwarnthresh=11.2 maxwarnthresh=58.7

When you issue the command and the system sets the values you specify, the following message is displayed:

Temperature probe warning threshold(s) set successfully.

NOTE: On PowerEdge 9G system, you can set the temperature probe warning threshold only for ambient temperature.

Omconfig Chassis Volts Or Omconfig Mainsystem Volts

Use the omconfig chassis volts or omconfig mainsystem volts command to set voltage probe warning thresholds. As with other components, you can view both warning and failure threshold values, but you cannot set failure threshold values. The system manufacturer sets the minimum and maximum values for the failure thresholds.

Valid Parameters For Voltage Warning Thresholds

The following table displays the valid parameters for setting voltage warning threshold values.

NOTE: Threshold values that you can set vary from one system configuration to another.

Table 34. Valid Parameters Of Omconfig Chassis Volts Or Omconfig Mainsystem Volts

name=value pair Description

index=<n> Probe index (specify).

warnthresh=default Sets minimum and maximum warning threshold values to default.

minwarnthresh=<n> Sets minimum warning threshold value (three decimal places).

maxwarnthresh=<n> Sets maximum warning threshold value (three decimal places).

Specify A Value For Minimum And Maximum Warning Thresholds

To specify values for the voltage probe warning thresholds, you must specify the number of the probe you are configuring and the minimum and/or maximum warning threshold values.

In the following example, the probe being configured is probe 0:

omconfig chassis volts index=0 minwarnthresh=1.900 maxwarnthresh=2.250
