Using Embedded Support Partner (ESP)

Embedded Support Partner (ESP) automatically detects system conditions that indicate potential future problems and then notifies the appropriate personnel. This enables you and SGI system support engineers (SSEs) to proactively support systems and resolve issues before they develop into actual failures.

ESP enables users to monitor one or more systems at a site from a local or remote connection. ESP can perform the following functions:

Monitor the system configuration, events, performance, and availability.

Notify SSEs when specific events occur.

Generate reports.

ESP also supports the following:

Remote support and on-site troubleshooting.

System group management, which enables you to manage an entire group of systems from a single system.

For additional information on this and other available monitoring services, see the section “SGI Electronic Support” in Chapter 7.
