Use the omconfig system platformevents or omconfig servermodule
platformevents command to configure shutdown action, if any, to be taken for a
specific platform event. You can also enable or disable platform event filter alert generation.
CAUTION: If you set a platform event shutdown action to anything other than
none or power reduction, your system is forcefully shutdown when the specified
event occurs. This shutdown is initiated by firmware and is carried out without first shutting down the operating system or any of the applications running on your system.
Table 4-24 shows the valid parameters for the command.
NOTE: Alert settings are mutually exclusive and can be set one at a time only.
The action settings are also mutually exclusive and can be set one at a time only. However, alert and action settings are not mutually exclusive of each other.
Table 4-23. omconfig system pedestinations/omconfig servermodule pedestinations name=Value Pair Description
destenable=true |
false true: Enables an individual platform event filter destination after a valid IP address has been set.
false: Disables an individual platform event filter.
index=number Sets the index for the destination. ipaddress=ipv4|ipv6
address Sets the IP address for the destination.
communitystr=text Sets the text string that acts as a password and is used to authenticate SNMP messages sent between the BMC and the destination management station.
Table 4-24. Parameters for Alert Action Command Action Description
alert=disable Disables the SNMP alert.
alert=enable Enables the SNMP alert to be sent.
action=none Takes no action when the system is hung or has crashed. action=powercycle Turns off the electrical power to the system, pauses, turns the
power on, and reboots the system.
Table 4-25 lists the components and the events for which you can set platform events. Components are listed in alphabetical order, except that warning events always precede failure events for a component.
action=
powerreduction Reduces the processor speed until the power consumption comes down and reaches below the warning threshold. If the system power consumption stays below the warning threshold, increases the processor speed
NOTE: This action is applicable only to non–modular systems.
action=reboot Forces the operating system to shut down and initiates system startup, performs BIOS checks, and reloads the operating system.
Table 4-25. omconfig system platformevents Event Name Description
alertsenable=true | false true: Enables generation of platform event filter alerts. false: Disables generation of platform event filter alerts.
NOTE: This setting is independent of the individual
platform event filter alert settings. For a platform event filter to generate an alert, both the individual alert and the global event alert must be enabled.
event=batterywarn Sets action or enables/disables alert generation when a battery device detects that the battery is pending a failure condition.
event=batteryfail Sets action or enables/disables alert generation when a battery device detects that the battery has failed. event=discretevolt Sets action or enables/disables alert generation when a
discrete voltage probe detects that the voltage is too low for proper operation.
event=fanfail Sets action or enables/disables alert generation when a fan probe detects that the fan is running too slow or not at all.
event=hardwarelogfail Enables/disables alert generation when a hardware log detects a failure value.
Table 4-24. Parameters for Alert Action Command (continued)
event=intrusion Sets action or enables/disables alert generation when a chassis is opened.
event=powerwarn Sets action or enables/disables alert generation when a power device probe detects that the power supply, voltage regulator module, or DC to DC converter is pending a failure condition.
event=powerabsent Sets action or enables/disables alert generation when a processor probe detects that the power supply is absent. event=powerfail Sets action or enables/disables alert generation when a
power device probe detects that the power supply, voltage regulator module, or DC to DC converter has failed.
event=processorwarn Sets action or enables/disables alert generation when a processor probe detects that the processor is running at less than peak performance or speed.
event=processorfail Sets action or enables/disables alert generation when a processor probe detects that the processor has failed. event=processorabsent Sets action or enables/disables alert generation when a
processor probe detects that the processor is absent. event=redundegrad Sets action or enables/disables alert generation when
the system fans and/or power supplies become inoperative, resulting in less than full redundancy for that component.
event=redunlost Sets action or enables/disables alert generation when the system fans and/or power supplies become inoperative, resulting in a lost or a no redundant
components working condition for that component.
event=systempowerwarn Sets actions when a power consumption probe detects a warning value.
event=systempowerfail Sets actions when a power consumption probe detects a failure value.
event=tempwarn Sets action or enables/disables alert generation when a temperature probe detects that the temperature is approaching the maximum high or low limits.
