omconfig: Managing Components Using the Instrumentation Service
89
omconfig system
Use the omconfig system commands to clear logs, determine how various shutdown actions occur, set
initial values or edit values for cost of ownership information, and determine how to respond to a hung
operating system.
omconfig system alertaction
You can use the omconfig system alertaction command to determine how Server Administrator responds
when a component has a warning or failure event.
Defining Alert Actions
An alert action is an action that you can specify for your system to take when specified conditions are
met. Alert actions determine in advance what actions are to be taken for warning or failure events on
intrusion, fans, temperatures, voltages, power supplies, memory, and redundancy.
For example, if a fan probe on your system reads a fan RPM of 300 and your minimum warning threshold
value for that fan probe is 600 RPM, then your system generates a fan probe warning. Alert action
settings determine how persons are notified of this event. For temperature, voltage, and current probe
readings that fall within the warning or failure range, you can also configure alert actions.
Syntax for Setting Alert Actions
Setting an alert action requires two name=value pairs. The first name=value pair is the event type.
The second name=value pair is the action you want to take for this event. For example, in the command:
omconfig system alertaction event=powersupply broadcast=true
the event is a power supply failure and the action is to broadcast a message to all Server
Administrator users.
