Help for System Activation

View Help for the status information displayed at the top of each page.

Use this page to enter the Activation Key for the RSM for Storage system and to sent Test Alerts to IBM.

To obtain the Activation Key, enter the Activation ID into the "rsmkeys" program. The rsmkeys program must be executed from one of IBM's GSA cells. The program is located in the GSA project directory: "r/rsm/keys/rsmkeys.exe".

Once the Activation Key is entered, the RSM for Storage applicaiton will be enabled to send alerts to IBM. (Prior to activation, the RSM for Storage application will ignore all events that it receives.)

This page also include an option to send a Test Alert to IBM. This should be done prior to activating the RSM for Storage system to ensure that the network path to IBM is operational.

The Test Alert will be sent with the IBM machine type and serial number of a subsystem in the same country as the RSM for Storage system. If for some reason, the RSM for Storage system in not in the same country as any of the configured subsystems, the Test Alert will be sent to the IBM Service center associated with the first configured subsystem.
