Establishing a lights-out AOS connection
Use this information to establish a lights-out AOS connection with IBM remote
support for diagnosing and reviewing issues and problems on your Storwize
V7000 Unified system.
About this task
Configure the system for a lights-out connection using the Enable IBM Tivoli Assist
On-Site (AOS) task.
After you configure the system, no other tasks are needed. The remote support
contact might ask you for machine information, such as machine type and models,
serial numbers, and your machine name. This information helps them locate the
system within the back-end AOS connection point repository. The repository is an
internal list that shows all available systems that are configured for lights-out
connectivity.
