Flagship Architect, Jaqui Lynch, recently published an article in the April issue of IBM Systems Magazine, “Call Home Web Monitors System Health.”

“IBM Call Home is an incredibly useful feature that monitors the health of your system and automatically notifies both you and IBM support when events that need action take place. It will automatically open a service request and transfer the initial diagnostic data to the support team so that they can start an initial remediation plan. The only data sent is diagnostic data, which is encrypted to ensure security. This feature helps ensure rapid remediation of system problems and should be enabled on all systems where possible.”

This article covers the following topics:

  • Enabling Call Home
  • Configuring on the HMC
  • What is Call Home Web
  • Adding Systems
