Registering the Appliance (BUI)
Service Requests (SR) for specific problems reported by your appliance. Registration also
connects your appliance with My Oracle Support (MOS) to detect update notifications.
The Phone Home service communicates with Oracle support to provide:
Fault reporting - The system reports active problems to Oracle for automated service
■
response. Depending on the nature of the fault, a support case may be opened. Details
of these events can be viewed in the Active Problem Display. For more information, see
"Working with Problems" in Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance Customer Service
Heartbeats - Daily heartbeat messages are sent to Oracle to indicate that the system is up
■
and running. Oracle support may notify the technical contact for an account when one of the
activated systems fails to send a heartbeat for too long.
System configuration - Periodic messages are sent to Oracle describing current software
■
and hardware versions and configuration as well as storage configuration. No user data or
metadata is transmitted in these messages.
Support bundles - The Phone Home service must be enabled before support bundles can be
■
uploaded to Oracle Support. See
Appliance Customer Service Manual
Update Notifications - Creates an Alert when new software updates are available on My
■
Oracle Support (MOS). See
ZFS Storage Appliance Customer Service Manual
