Is Your Call Home Feature Enabled yet?

Call Home is a free Remote Support Feature that minimizes the time it takes to correct both drive and library problems. If you do not have Call Home installed on your 3584/TS3500 library, please take a moment to answer some questions that will help us better understand why.

This service is an outbound call only - the library will not respond to any inbound call. An outbound call will be placed in the following cases:

• The library or a drive detects a problem that requires service.
• One hour after a library power on or reset.
• Once every 7 days.

The call that results from a library or drive detected problem will include the information typically needed to analyze the problem. Depending on the problem, this may include the library error log, drive error logs, library trace/dump files, a drive dump file, and a file containing hardware and code configuration information.

The call that results from a library power on or reset ensures that if library or drive code has been updated that the new versions have been reported.

The call that occurs every 7 days allows IBM to ensure that the call home capability is still functional. It also sends a file containing hardware and code configuration information which can be used by support personnel.

If you would like assistance with setting up your Call Home feature, please contact IBM Service at 1-800-IBM-Serv.

For ordering call your IBM representative, an IBM Business Partner, or IBM Americas Call Centers at 800-IBM-CALL.
