Remote Server Administrator Command

Table 1. Remote Server Administrator Command. The following table describes the fields displayed in the remote server administrator command tab.
Field	Description
Command	Provide command, for example, `omereport system summary`.
Ping Device	This option performs a ping test to verify if a device is reachable before it runs a task against it. This option can be used when using $IP or $RAC_IP and it decreases the time it takes to run the task(s) as it skips unreachable devices.
Output to file	Select to enable output to a log file. This option captures standard output and writes it to the log file. If you select this option, enter the path name and file name of the log file. This option is disabled by default.
Append	Select to append output from the completed command to the specified file. If the file does not exist, it is created.
Include errors	Select to write all OpenManage Essentials-detected errors to the log file. For example, if no response is received to a ping request before the execution of the command, an error is written to the log file.
SSH Port number	Provide the Secure Shell (SSH) port number on the managed Linux system. The default value for the port number is 22.
Generate Trusted Key for Linux	Select this option to generate a trusted device key for communicating with devices. This option is disabled by default. NOTE: The first time that OpenManage Essentials communicates with a managed device with Linux operating system, a key is generated and stored on both the devices. This key is generated per device and enables a trust relationship with the managed device.
