Good morning good afternoon and good evening. My name is Dustin. I am a subject matter expert
in the systems management space. Today I will be going over using CLI with OpenManage Enterprise.
The Command Line Interface, that is the ability to push remote commands such as IPMI, SSH and RACADM.
Since all of these commands are essentially ran in the same way I will be focusing on RACADM
for this video. There are two ways to push a command. We can push it at the device level,
or in the job section. So first let me show you what i mean by that,
device level I can click a device and I can say more actions and I can choose IPMI or RACADM, and
if this was SSH discovered I could choose SSH. So the other option which i'm going to show you is to
do it in the jobs window, and I like this because you get a to create a job that you can reuse.
So we're going to do remote command on devices, let's go ahead and name it let's call it uh,
what i'll show you is how to set SNMP alerts to RACADM because it's something i see happen a lot.
So we're going to choose RACADM as the interface, and then we do arguments. Before I do arguments I
want to also show you that currently in my target, as we can see, there is no SNMP alerts set,
for example we see nothing here.
So what we'll want to do is we want to put our arguments in for the RACADM command. I'm going
to show you all a common mistake which is actually putting in RACADM. It's already putting that in
through the interface so we want to go ahead and let's remove that and just have the command here,
and what this command does is it says i'm going to do SNMP for all for my event filters on the
target that i'm pushing. So as you can see this would be a good thing if you had 50 devices you
want to send any one command to because then you could choose more than one command at the time.
And we're going to go ahead and run this now.
Okay so that finished and it shows the status of failed,
but i have a feeling that it didn't actually fail, and that's one of the reasons i chose this
command just to kind of demonstrate that if any part of the command fails it will show fail but
actually it might have succeeded. So the command came in completed, it completed with errors
so in this case some of the settings were unable to be modified, and that's actually
a normal response that we would expect to see. As we can see here in our iDRAC, we'll refresh there,
go back to 'Configuration', 'System Settings' and 'Alerts'.
And we will see that we have SNMP trap, is now something that is configured.
As we can see these check boxes are now checked, so the command did complete
and work and just to show that same process
will show up by per device, just to show that there's a whole other one.
So 'racadm getsysinfo' is a common command,
we have our one device selected we are running it now.
We will go to the jobs and see the device get some completed. We will view details
and we will show the system info that it completed.
So this is actually showing the the output of the CLI command that we pushed.
So that's it. I hope you enjoyed my video on
pushing CLI commands using OME thank you and have a great day.
