I just stop the server and edit the leases file - I only run a home server these days. I never did run anything “big enough” that I needed to do online maintenance and never used OMAPI.

All you need to create for a skeleton lease is (from memory) :

lease {
  hardware 1:xx......;
  address 192.168....;
  reserved;
}

The server will fill in the rest as it goes.
