Omconfig System Platformevents - Dell Command Line Interface User Manual

omconfig system platformevents

Use the omconfig system 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.
NOTICE:
If you set a platform event shutdown action to anything other than "none", your system will 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 4-23 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 4-24 lists the components and the events for which you can set platform events. Components are
