Machine Settings

About this task

Note: IBM service typically performs this operation and it is recommended that you do not make any changes.

Procedure

From the System Console GUI, select Call Home Settings > Machine Settings.
You see the Machine Settings screen in Figure 1.

Enter information into the Machine Settings input areas. Enter a four-digit Machine Type (such as 3957), a three-digit model (such as VED), and a Machine Serial Number, such as the example shown '78HD000' for one of the attached systems.

The system console periodically checks for responses from attached tape systems. If a system fails to respond, the following choices are available:

  • Create and Send a Problem Report to CSP
  • Create an Entry in the Console Log (only)
  • Do nothing

The default selection is "Create and Send a Problem Report to CSP." However, either of the other choices is available for selection from this window by clicking the appropriate button located next to the wanted selection.

Make a selection from the Response Check for Attached Systems choices. Select Apply.
