setslotname

Description

Sets the name of the slot and enables the feature to display the host name (if available) or iDRAC DNS name of all the four slots, or of a specified slot (indicated by the slot number) in the chassis. Optionally, use this command to set whether the slot name or host name is displayed in the CMC web interface or with the getslotname -i < slot Num> command. If the host name is not available, the static slot name is used.

To use this subcommand, you must have the Administrator privilege.

  • NOTE:
    • The OMSA server agent must be present and running on the server to use the Display Hostname feature. If the agent is not running, the setting is ignored. For more information, see the Dell OpenManage Server Administrator User's Guide at support.dell.com/manuals.
    • The special characters " (double quote), ` (back quote), & (ampersand), and \ (backslash) are not supported for this subcommand.
