Dell EMC OpenManage Essentials Version 2.5 User's Guide

Command

Provide the RACADM command you want to run on the servers.

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 from the running application and writes it to the log file. If you select this option, you must 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.
