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 allowing you to perform other systems
management tasks.
Examples of omconfig capabilities include the administrator's privilege to clear command, alert, and
hardware logs; the administrator's privilege to configure and execute system shutdown; power user
and administrator's privilege to default or specify values for warning events on current probes, fans,
voltage probes, and temperature probes; power user and administrator's privilege to set alert actions
in the event of a warning or failure event from intrusion, current probes, fans, voltage probes, and
temperature probes.
For information on how to use the omconfig system command to view and to manage cost of ownership
information (assetinfo), see "omconfig system assetinfo: Editing Cost of Ownership Values."
Often you must use the omreport commands to get the 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 the
omreport chassis temps 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."
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.
omconfig Command Summary
NOTE: Although this section lists all possible omconfig commands, the commands available on your system
depend on your system configuration. If you try to get help or execute a command for a component that is not
installed on your system, Server Administrator issues a message that the component or feature is not found on
the system.
