Insight Remote Support Advanced
Insight Remote Support Advanced provides proactive remote monitoring, diagnostics, and
troubleshooting to help improve the availability of supported HP servers and storage systems in your
data center. HP Remote Support reduces cost and complexity through support of systems. HP
Remote Support securely communicates hardware incident information through your firewall and/or
Web proxy to the HP Support Center for reactive support. Additionally, based on your support
agreement, system information can be collected for proactive analysis and services.
Remote Support Eligible Systems
Systems that are eligible for Remote Support, and when enabled will submit events to the HP Support
Center for incident resolution. Systems must also be entitled to Remote Support, otherwise submitted
events will be closed. You can verify that an eligible system is actually supported by using the Remote
Support Entitlement Check.
Internet Protocol
Specifies the format of datagrams (packets) and the addressing scheme on a network. Most networks
combine IP with Transmission Control Protocol (TCP), which establishes a virtual connection between
a destination and a source.
Remote Support Services
The Remote Support Services allow you to enable or disable remote support for any and all eligible
systems in your enterprise. The Remote Support Services also display the status of the Remote
Support Entitlement Check for eligible systems.
Remote Support Settings
Remote Support Settings are the collection point for your company's enterprise contract information,
designated enterprise support contact information, and your HP Account Team contact information.
Remote Support Entitlement Check (RSEC)
The RSEC is a check against the HP entitlement datastore for the current obligation status of a
particular system. The Entitlement window displays the results of the Remote Support Entitlement
Check.
Remote Support Software Manager
The Remote Support Software Manager is an application installed on the CMS and is used to
download and install Insight Remote Support components and updates.
Storage Area Network
A Storage area network (SAN) is a network of storage devices and the initiators that store and retrieve
information on those devices, including the communication infrastructure. In large enterprises, a SAN
connects multiple servers to a centralized pool of disk storage. Compared to managing hundreds of
servers, each with their own disks, SANs improve system administration.
