Dell OpenManage

Description:

Dell OSMA is a software that you usually install on Dell physical servers that reports the health and status of system components.

To Resolve:

1. This page is meant just as a few reference commands that you can run on a Dell server with OSMA installed. You could probably script this, but I just setup a PRTG sensor that pulls all this data automatically (somebody had to write it though!). There are 3 “level 1” commands and many others that branch off those: omconfigure, omreport, and omhelp.

   # list of controllers by id  
   omreport storage controller
   
   # get a system summary of everything except storage  
   omreport system summary
   
   # overall report of system components. OK is good, anything else must be looked into  
   omreport chassis
   
   # to check the status of your virtual disks  
   omreport storage vdisk controller=0
   
   # to set custom text on your server's display  
   omconfig chassis frontpanel lcdindex=1 config=custom text='enter here your custom text'
