Primary CLI Commands | Dell Command Line Interface guide

Using CLI Commands from Windows Command Prompts

If you are running the Windows operating system, use the 32-bit command prompt to issue a Server Administrator CLI command. You can access the 32-bit command prompt by clicking the Start button and pointing to Programs→ Accessories→ Command Prompt shortcut, or by clicking the Start button and selecting Run, then typing cmd.exe in the Run dialog box.

Do not type command into 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 the 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 what action your system is to take when a certain warning or failure event occurs. You can also use the omconfig command to assign specific values to your 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 produces reports of your system’s management information.

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