by using the IBM
Storage Protect Instance Configuration
Wizard. You need to provide the instance Id and credentials of the instance where you want to enable
the Call Home feature.

To enable Call Home, complete the
following steps:
- Open the IBM
Storage Protect
Instance Configuration Wizard. In the Instance User
ID panel, enter the following details:

- Enter the name of the instance name in the Instance field.
- Enter user ID that is associated with the instance in the User ID field
in the following format:
domain\account_name
- Enter the account password in the Password field.

Details panel. Provide the following information in the Customer
Details panel:
- Customer ID: A unique seven character customer ID. This field is
mandatory.
- Country Code: Two-character country code. This field is mandatory
- Email Address: Email address of the customer. This field is
optional.
- Phone Number: Phone number of the customer. This field is optional.
- Company Name: Company name of the customer. This field is optional.

After providing the required details, click Next.

On the
Instance Configuration
Wizard screen, you can see a message indicating that the instance is being configured.
This may take few minutes. Once the instance is configured, you can see the configuration details in
the
Post Configuration Summary panel and close the wizard.
Note: The
configuration wizard supports
Call Home
configuration only during a fresh installation. Once the server instance has already been
configured, the configuration wizard cannot be used to define or modify
Call Home settings. If the configuration wizard is
unavailable, use the
UPDATE CALLHOME (Update the existing Call Home configuration) command to configure
Call Home settings.
What to do next
To customize the inventory collection interval or the archive retention period without
editing callhome.ini directly, set the following options in
dsmserv.opt and restart the server. The server automatically
propagates these values into callhome.ini on every restart.
