I have set up a GX280 running Windows 2003 server, installed IT Assistant 7 and client connector 2.0, i have all my Systems showing up,even managed to get GX150s and GX240 in by installing 7.1 instrumentals(ok i cant manage them but they show up), got email alerting working this morning, now all that's left to do is set up some tasks.
The first task i need is Chassis Intrusion Detection clearing, i saw in another post that all you have to do is:
Start a new task, giving it a name and selecting the Remote Client Instrumentation Command Line option. In the Arguments section, at the end of the stuff already there, add this command to the end of the line (It says classpropertyvalue= now)
Dell_SMBIOSsettings::ChassisIntrusionStatus:5
Run that task against any machine with the Chassis Intrusion warning, and it should clear them
However this does not seem to work in the Arguments section the last thing is says is "classpropertyvalue=" i have tried adding the above text with and without "now" at the end, no luck,
does anyone have any ideas what the full Arguments text should be?
also please post any other Tasks that work that may be of use to everyone :smileyvery-happy:
used the Domain Admin account in place of my Openmanage account with domain admin rights... no idea what the difference could be, but hey it works :manvery-happy:
You can use IT Assistant's Manage Tasks option to create CLI commands.
In IT Assistant, select Manage® Tasks.
Right-click Command Line andclick New Task to display the Task Creation Wizard.
You can use the Task Creation Wizardto create a new task. Click Help in this wizard for more information.
In the Task Creation window, select Remote Client Instrumentation, which allows you to execute OMCC CLI commands remotely.
You must also specify a task name and, optionally, a brief description of your task in the Task Creation window.
enter the Argument below
system cim action=flashbios ipaddress=$IP username=$USERNAME password=$PASSWORD authenticationlevel=packet biosfile=\\servername\GX260A06.hdr
The BIOS image file must be accessible from the remote client system, which means that the biosfile argument must be presented as the full path to the image file as seen from the client. The user who runs the BIOS update must have read privileges to the location where the image is stored.
To make the .hdr file download the bios.exe from dell, in dos type GX260A06.ex -writehdrfile
Do you know where to get a listing of all the possible arguments for the SMBIOS when creating a "
Remote Client Instrumentation Command Line" task? Thanks

Look in the file called "cim_iap_data.htm" that is in the OMCI folder. (c:\program files\dell\OpenManage\Client\cim_iap_data.htm). It has many of the arguments defined in it.
