Configuring the HMC so that it can connect to service and support using the call-home setup wizard
Configure the HMC so that it is a call-home server using the call-home wizard.
This procedure describes
how to configure the HMC as a call-home
server using direct (LAN-based) and indirect (SSL) connections to
the Internet.
Before you begin this task, ensure that:
- The network administrator has verified that connectivity is allowed. For more information, see Preparing for HMC configuration.
- If
you are configuring Internet support through a proxy server,
you must also have the following:
- The IP address and port of the proxy server
- The proxy authentication information
- The adapter designated as eth1 (the one that is designated as an open network) is used. For more information, see Choosing network settings on the HMC.
- An Ethernet cable physically connects the HMC to the LAN.
To configure the HMC so that it is a call-home server using the call-home wizard, do the following:
- In the navigation area, select Service Management.
- In the content area, select Call-Home Setup Wizard. The Connectivity and Call-Home Servers wizard opens. Follow the instructions in the wizard to configure call-home.
