HP Predictive Support

HP Predictive Support

HP Predictive Support helps improve the reliability of your HP 9000 Series 800s by monitoring disk/tape drives and system memory for potential problems. If a potential problem is detected, HP Predictive Support transfers this information to the Hewlett-Packard Response Center.

HP Predictive Support monitors hardware by automatically collecting system information and comparing it against historical data and predetermined thresholds. Then it reports configuration changes, exceeded thresholds, and significant errors.

How the Process Works

HP Predictive Support involves your entire HP support team to help you monitor, prevent, and resolve problems with your systems and peripherals:

1.Potential problem? After analyzing your system and peripherals, HP Predictive Support sends any information on potential problems to the HP Response Center.

2.HP Response Center analyzes the

problem. An HP Response Center Engineer (RCE) analyzes the data and adds it to the system's history. If further action is needed, the RCE may ask the system administrator to perform remote diagnostics, or may forward the information to the HP Account CE.

3. HP Account CE may provide

backup support. The Account CE may suggest corrective actions to the system administrator, or schedule a visit within the support agreement coverage hours.

Usually, all of this activity occurs before there is any noticeable impact to system performance.

What HP Predictive Support Covers

HP Predictive Support covers:

•Disk drives, by scanning the onboard logs of CS80 and SCSI/Fast-Wide SCSI disk drives, and system logs. The DISCSCAN, SCSISCAN, and LOGSCAN utilities provide coverage on disk drives.

•Memory, by scanning the memory logs with the MEMSCAN utility.

•Tape drives, by scanning system log files with the LOGSCAN utility.

•Low Priority Machine Checks (LPMC), by scanning system log files with the LOGSCAN utility.
