Setting Up Service Essentials Remote Support Pack
IMPORTANT: HP Service Essentials Remote Support Pack must be installed on a physical drive and is not
supported on virtual machines.
1. Verify that all prerequisites are met, including installing RSSWM through the HP SIM installer and
configuring RSSWM to install the Service Essentials Remote Support Pack core components.
To ensure that the Service Essentials Remote Support Pack components are downloaded and installed,
you must invoke, configure, and register RSSWM after the system reboots by double-clicking the Remote
Support Software Manager icon on the desktop.
2. Verify that HP SIM has discovered the systems. You must acquire or supply a valid serial number and
product number information.
3. Using the Remote Support and Service Option, register the CMS and Remote Support Client. You must
complete the boxes designated by asterisks.
4. Using System Properties, verify that each remotely monitored system has the proper information supplied
in HP SIM. You must configure all boxes in the Contract and Warranty Information section designated
by asterisks.
5. Verify that designated boxes contain valid information. For example, you must enter a numeric phone
number in System Properties Contact Phone box rather than text. If designated boxes are blank or
contain invalid data, the Service Essentials Remote Support Pack might not be able to supply contract
and warranty data, and might not be able to create remote support cases.
For more information about this procedure, see the HP Service Essentials Remote Support Pack Quick Start
Guide or the appropriate version of the HP Systems Insight Manager Installation and Configuration Guide.
