SupportAssist saves time and streamlines technical support cases. A collection based on an event creates an open service request with SupportAssist. Scheduled collections help to monitor and maintain your environment. These collections include hardware information data, RAID controller log files, operating system, and application data. The features that are supported are :
SupportAssist Registration—iSM supports SupportAssist Registration. This is a one time activity. You can enter the required details such as name, email, address, and number to complete the registration.
SupportAssist Collection—The SupportAssist Collection feature in iDRAC collects information about the hardware, operating system, and relevant application data and compresses this information.
SupportAssist also provides:
Proactive issue identification
Automated case creation
Support contact initiated by a Dell technical support agent
NOTE You must complete the registration to take advantage of SupportAssist.
You can view the following items in the SupportAssist dashboard.
