  omreport system Commands/omreport servermodule Commands


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 configuring components for management, see "omconfig: Managing Components Using the Instrumentation Service."

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.


Command Summary of the omreport Command

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 the omreport output.

Table 3-2 is a high-level summary of the omreport command. The column titled "Command level 1" shows the omreport command at its most general. "Command level 2" shows the major objects or components that you can view using omreport (about, chassis, storage, and system). "Command level 3" lists the specific objects and components for which you can view reports. "User privilege required" refers to the type of privilege you need to perform the command, where U=User, P=Power User, and A=Administrator. "Use" is a very general statement about the actions that can be performed using omreport. More details about syntax and use of the command appear later in this section.

Table 3-2 shows the omreport commands available for about, system, and main system chassis. For information about viewing storage components, see "omreport: Viewing System Status Using the Instrumentation Service."

Use the omreport chassis ports or omreport mainsystem ports command to view properties of your system's parallel and serial ports.

Values display for the following fields: Port Type, External Name, Base I/O Address, IRQ Level, Connector Type, and Maximum Speed.

Port Type is the detailed type of each system port, from the more general serial, parallel, and USB ports to the names of ports by device type connected to it, for example, pointing device or keyboard.

External Name is the name of the port, such as serial or parallel, USB, mouse, keyboard, and so on.

Base I/O Address is the starting I/O address expressed in hexadecimal.

IRQ Level is a hardware interrupt on a system. The hardware interrupt signals the system's CPU that an event has started or ended in a peripheral component such as a modem or printer. When communicated over a peripheral component interconnect card, the IRQ level is a standard way to identify the type of device that is sending the interrupt request.

Connector Type refers to the type of plug or cable and plug that connects two devices together, in this case, the type of connector that attaches an external device to a system. There are many connector types, each designed to connect a different device type to a system. Examples include DB-9 Male, AT, Access Bus, PS/2, and so on.

Maximum Speed is the port speed. Port speed refers to the data transmission rate of an input/output channel, measured in numbers of bits per second. Serial ports usually have a maximum speed of 115 Kbps and USB version 1.x ports have a maximum speed of 12 Kbps.

omreport chassis processors/omreport mainsystem processors

Use the omreport chassis processors or omreport mainsystem processors command to view properties of your system's processors.

Values display for the following fields: Connector Name, Manufacturer, Processor Family, Processor Version, Current Speed, External Clock Speed, and State.

Connector Name refers to the name or number of the device that occupies the processor slot in the system.

Manufacturer is the business entity that sells the processor.

Processor Family refers to the type of processor made by a manufacturer such as Intel® Itanium® or Pentium® III or AMD™ Opteron™.

Processor Version refers to the model and stepping number of the processor.

Current Speed is the actual processor speed in MegaHertz at system boot time.

External Clock Speed is the speed of the processor's external clock in MegaHertz.

State refers to whether the processor slot is enabled or disabled.

Core Count refers to the number of processors integrated into one chip.

Capabilities and Cache Properties of a Specific Processor

To view the cache properties of a processor on a given connector, type:

omreport chassis processors index=n
or
omreport mainsystem processors index=n

The index parameter is optional. If you do not specify the index, Server Administrator displays properties for all processors. If you specify the index, Server Administrator displays properties for a specific processor.

The following fields are defined for the capabilities present on a particular microprocessor:

For Intel Processor

  • 64-bit Support

  • Hyperthreading (HT)

  • Virtualization Technology (VT)

  • Demand-Based Switching (DBS)

  • Execute Disable (XD)

For AMD Processor

  • 64-bit Support

  • AMD-V™

  • AMD PowerNow!™

  • No Execute (NX)

The following fields are defined for a cache present on a particular microprocessor. If the cache is internal to the processor, the fields do not appear in the cache report:

  • Speed

  • Cache Device Supported Type

  • Cache Device Current Type

  • External Socket Name

Fields Reported for Each Cache on a Particular Processor

The following fields are displayed for each cache on a particular processor:

Status reports whether a specific cache on the processor is enabled or disabled.

Level refers to a primary or secondary cache. Primary-level cache is a memory bank built into the processor. Secondary-level cache is a staging area that feeds the primary cache. A secondary-level cache may be built into the processor or reside in a memory chipset outside the processor. The internal processor cache is referred to as a Level 1 (or L1). L2 cache is the external cache in a system with an Intel Pentium processor, and it is the second level of cache that is accessed. The names L1 and L2 are not indicative of where the cache is physically located (internal or external), but describe which cache is accessed first (L1, therefore internal).

Speed refers to the rate at which the cache can forward data from the main memory to the processor.

Max Size is the maximum amount of memory that the cache can hold in kilobytes.

Installed Size is the actual size of the cache.

Type indicates whether the cache is primary or secondary.

Location is the location of the cache on the processor or on a chipset outside the processor.

A Write Policy describes how the cache deals with a write cycle. In a write-back policy, the cache acts like a buffer. When the processor starts a write cycle, the cache receives the data and stops the cycle. The cache then writes the data back to the main memory when the system bus is available.

In a write-through policy, the processor writes through the cache to the main memory. The write cycle does not complete until the data is stored into the main memory.

Associativity refers to the way in which main memory content is stored on the cache.

  • A fully associative cache allows any line in main memory to be stored at any location in the cache.

  • A 4-way set-associative cache directly maps four specific lines of memory to the same four lines of cache.

  • A 3-way set-associative cache directly maps three specific lines of memory to the same three lines of cache.

  • A 2-way set-associative cache directly maps two specific lines of memory to the same two lines of cache.

  • A 1-way set-associative cache directly maps a specific line of memory in the same line of cache.

For example, line 0 of any page in memory must be stored in line 0 of cache memory.

Cache Device Supported Type is the type of static random access memory (SRAM) that the device can support.

Cache Device Current Type is the type of the currently installed SRAM that the cache is supporting.

External Socket Name Silk Screen Name is the name printed on the system board next to the socket.

Error Correction Type identifies the type of error checking and correction (ECC) that this memory can perform. Examples are correctable ECC or uncorrectable ECC.

This report shows cache information for each cache present on the microprocessor.

omreport chassis pwrmonitoring/omreport mainsystem pwrmonitoring

Use this omreport chassis pwrmonitoring or omreport mainsystem pwrmonitoring command to view the properties of your system's power consumption. Type:

omreport chassis pwrmonitoring
or

Overall Health Status of the ESM Log

When you type omreport system esmlog or omreport servermodule esmlog, the Embedded Systems Management (ESM) report displays. The first line of the report reflects the overall health of the system hardware. For example, Health: OK means that less than 80 percent of the space allotted for the ESM log is occupied by messages. If 80 percent or more of the allotted space for the ESM log is occupied, the following caution appears:

Health: Non-Critical

If a caution appears, resolve all warning and critical severity conditions, and then clear the log.

omreport system alertaction/omreport servermodule alertaction

Use the omreport system alertaction or omreport servermodule alertaction command to view a summary of alert actions that have been configured for warning and failure events on your system components.
