Dell Command Line Interface manual Omconfig system platformevents

omconfig system platformevents

Use the omconfig system platformevents command to configure shutdown action, if any, to be taken for a specific platform event. You can also enable or disable platform event filter alert generation.

NOTICE: If you set a platform event shutdown action to anything other than "none", your system will forcefully shutdown when the specified event occurs. This shutdown is initiated by firmware and is carried out without first shutting down the operating system or any of the applications running on your system.

Table 4-23 shows the valid parameters for the command.

NOTE: Alert settings are mutually exclusive and can be set one at a time only. The action settings are also mutually exclusive and can be set one at a time only. However, alert and action settings are not mutually exclusive of each other.

Table 4-23. Shutdown Action

Shutdown Action	Description
alert=disable	Disables the SNMP alert.
alert=enable	Enables the SNMP alert to be sent.
action=none	Takes no action when the system is hung or has crashed.
action=powercycle	Turns the electrical power to the system off, pauses, turns the power on, and
	reboots the system.
action=poweroff	Turns off the electrical power to the system.
action=reboot	Forces the operating system to shut down and initiates system startup,
	performs BIOS checks, and reloads the operating system.

Table 4-24 lists the components and the events for which you can set platform events. Components are listed in alphabetical order, except that warning events always precede failure events for a component.

Table 4-24. omconfig system platformevents

Event Name	Description
alertsenable=true false	true: Enables generation of platform event filter alerts.
	false: Disables generation of platform event filter alerts.
	NOTE: This setting is independent of the individual platform event filter alert settings.
	For a platform event filter to generate an alert, both the individual alert and the global
	event alert must be enabled.
event=batterywarn	Sets action or enables/disables alert generation when a battery device detects that
	the battery is pending a failure condition.
event=batteryfail	Sets action or enables/disables alert generation when a battery device detects that
	the battery has failed.
event=discretevolt	Sets action or enables/disables alert generation when a discrete voltage probe
	detects that the voltage is too low for proper operation.
