Call home (automated service request)

IBM provides tools that can automatically collect and send data or call IBM
Support when an error is detected.
These tools can help IBM service speed up the process of diagnosing problems.
The following sections provide information about the call home tools.

Service advisor

The server comes with the Service Advisor feature that can collect data about the
system when the system detects a fault and sends that data to IBM Service for
problem determination.
It also includes the call home feature that automatically calls IBM Service when a
problem occurs. The Service Advisor feature is integrated into the Integrated
Management Module (IMM). You will need to set up and configure the Service
Advisor feature before you can use it. For more information about how to setup
and configure the Service Advisor feature, see the Integrated Management Module
User's Guide at http://www-947.ibm.com/support/entry/portal/
