SANtricity commands

The SMcli enable autoSupportFeature command turns on the AutoSupport (ASUP) feature for all managed storage arrays and makes it possible to transmit messages to the technical support site. After you enable the ASUP feature, any ASUP-capable storage array is automatically prepared to collect and send support-related data to technical support. The data can then be used for remote troubleshooting and problem analysis.

Supported Arrays

This command applies to all E2700 and E5600 storage arrays in the management domain at once. It does not apply to E2800 or E5700 storage arrays.

Context

Note

This command is an SMcli command, not a script command. You must run this command from a command line. You cannot run this command from the script editor in the storage management software.
Note

The Persistent Monitor must be enabled for the AutoSupport feature to work.
Note

No customer data is ever transmitted to the technical support site.
