HP Predictive Support Enhancements
by John Ediger
Worldwide Response Center Operations
Product Overview
If you have an Hewlett-Packard Hardware and Software Support Agreement,
HP Predictive Support provides proactive hardware support by monitoring
disk drives, system memory, and tape drives.
When the HP Predictive Support software detects a potential problem, it
transmits a message to the HP Response Center. The Response Center
portion of the system stores and screens the data, forwarding problems
requiring further analysis to a Response Center Engineer. If onsite
action is necessary, the Response Center Engineer informs the account
Customer Engineer, who will work with you until the problem is resolved.
Enhancements
This version includes the past few updates and patches to HP Predictive
Support including support for the latest high-end systems and several new
disk drives such as the C2258/59X HP-FL disk arrays and the C3010 disks.
Other enhancements include a new site inventory module, which is a tool
used by Hewlett-Packard support personnel to support systems by
determining the applications that are currently on a system.
