newbie question - want to script checking for alerts

[Bob Smithley]

I want a script to quickly check if there are any degraded, failed, or unknown items on my server(s) via HP SIM. Is there a command line equivalent to Dell's omreport.exe ? Any advice would be appreciated, thanks

http://www.hp.com/go/hpsim --> Information Library. At the bottom of the page are the man pages for the various CLI tools. You might be tempted to look at mxreport because of your question, but the hint is to check out mxquery which will give you something easier to parse than a report.

thank you, just what I was after

By the way, on the Info Library page there also is a whitepaper, "HP SIM Command Interface Guide."

And for those of you who might think we're hiding this information, it's also in online help, and you can find all the utilities in

%ProgramFiles%\HP\System~1\bin [Windows]
/opt/mx/bin [Linux]
[and somewhere similar in HP-UX :)]

-? will give the syntax
