Phase 7:  Running HP Predictive Support 

Start the Run 

Start or restart HP Predictive Support from the psconfig Main Menu or
interactively from MPE.

   *   From the psconfig Main Menu:  Type 1 or run

       OR 

   *   From MPE: Type run psconfig.pred.sys;info="run"


NOTE Assuming that the Request before transfer field in psconfig remains at "Yes," you must reply to requests sent to the system console.

CAUTION Make sure that the remote console is disabled before starting a run. See "Phase 3: Configuring the Remote Console" on how to disable the remote console. The first run of HP Predictive Support may take longer than a typical run because log files from as many as the preceding seven days may be analyzed. In addition, the initial code word request may take several minutes.
Monitor the Progress
NOTE If problems are encountered during the file transfer process, refer to Appendix E, "Datacomm Troubleshooting Guide."
The first run occurs as follows: * HP Predictive Support detects it does not have a code word. When HP Predictive Support is run for the first time, it detects that it is missing the code word. It generates a code word request and transmits the request to the HP Response Center. In the code word request are the system serial and model numbers, the hardware ID, and the phone number of the customer contact. * HP Response Center Receives and Processes the Code Word Request. Upon receipt of the code word request, the HP Response Center downloads the code word to HP Predictive Support. * HP Predictive Support Receives Code Word and Resumes Its Run. Upon receipt of the code word, HP Predictive Support analyzes the customer system for the first time and generates an Action Summary Report that lists any detected events. * HP Predictive Support Finishes Its Run. Upon finishing its run, HP Predictive Support generates and transmits to the HP Response Center the PSDCFILE message confirming installation and the versions of the rulesets.
NOTE Event messages from the first run are not sent to the HP Response Center. The messages only appear in the Action Summary Report.
Figure 3-3 illustrates the progress messages typically displayed to the console during the first run. ______________________________________________________________________________ | | | | | 10:02/33/************** PREDICTIVE SUPPORT **************** | | 10:02/33/* Predictive Support is ready to make a * | | 10:02/33/* connection to the HP Response Center. * | | 10:02/33/************************************************** | | [You may need to press Ctrl A before replying.] | | | | 10:02/33/Can PREDICTIVE use the modem, Ldev 21?
