Save Command Results to a File That Can Be Overwritten
Use the -outc option when you want to overwrite data that is stored in previously written files. For
example, at 11:00 A.M. you capture fan probe RPM readings for fan probe 0 on your system and write the
results to a file called fans.txt. You type:
omreport chassis fans index=0 -outc fans.txt
Partial results written to the file are:
Index
Status
Probe Name
Reading
Minimum Warning Threshold
Maximum Warning Threshold
Minimum Failure Threshold
Maximum Failure Threshold
Four hours later, you repeat the command. You have no interest in the 11:00 A.M. snapshot as written to
fans.txt. You type the same command:
omreport chassis fans index=0 -outc fans.txt
The 3:00 P .M. data overwrites the 11:00 A.M. data in the fans.txt file.
Fans.txt now reads as follows:
Index
Status
Probe Name
Reading
Minimum Warning Threshold
Maximum Warning Threshold
Minimum Failure Threshold
Maximum Failure Threshold
You cannot refer to the previous command results to compare the earlier fan probe 0 output with the
present output because in using the -outc option, you overwrote the fans.txt file.
