Setting up the call home function
Use the call home function to set up your storage system to automatically send prefailure or failure
notifications to the IBM Troubleshooting Ticketing system in the IBM Service Center.
You can also set up call home to automatically send alerts directly to you. Call home cannot accept
incoming communication, which means that the IBM Service Center cannot contact the storage system by
using call home.
When certain events occur in the system, call home sends a notification to the IBM Service Center. After
you receive the notification, IBM service personnel analyze the problem promptly and take appropriate
action. If the problem requires service, an IBM service representative is sent to your site with any
necessary replacement parts. With access to the storage system, IBM service personnel can complete
service tasks, such as viewing error logs or initiating trace and dump retrievals.
Call home notifications are sent through email from a simple mail transport protocol (SMTP) server. The
storage system's Mail Service function is used by the system to send outgoing call-home emails to IBM.
Note: You must configure the SMTP email system by using the mail service function to enable the system
to send outgoing emails for the call home function. (See "Configuring the mail service" on page 12. The
email configuration rules must not inhibit call home emails from being sent in real time. Emails with
Importance or X-Priority in the email header must not be delayed. For example, system emails must not
be placed in a queue for later delivery or filtered for priority.
