omreport: Viewing System Status Using
the Instrumentation Service
The omreport command allows you to see detailed information about your system components.
You can retrieve summaries for many system components at one time, or you can 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. Fields are defined only if they have a special or less familiar use.
As with all other components, you can use omreport to view component status, and omconfig to
manage a component. For information on how to configure components for management,
see "omconfig: Managing Components Using the Instrumentation Service."
Often you can use omreport commands to get information you need to execute an omconfig
command. For example, if you want to edit the minimum temperature for a warning event on a
temperature probe, you need to know the index of the probe you want to configure. You can use
omreport chassis temps to display a list of probes and their indexes.
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 that you can enable or disable the component or feature, but you cannot simultaneously
enable and disable the component or feature.
omreport Command Summary
NOTE: Although this chapter lists all possible omreport commands, the commands available on your system
depend on your system configuration. The results that display for 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, 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 omreport output.
