HP hardware support services
HP Instant Support Enterprise Edition (ISEE) provides proactive remote
monitoring, diagnostics, and troubleshooting to help you enhance
the availability of your servers, as well as storage and network
devices. TheISEEsoftwareislocatedonthestorageserverinthe

HP Services provides service tools that notify you when a significant system
event has or will occur. These tools, WEBES System Event Analyzer (SEA)
and OSEM, are used both as part of the ISEE remote service offering and
as standalone tools to HP service customers. They are designed to send
anotification only when an event or series of events has occurred that
require service action. They are not intended to be real time system state
monitors that trigger with every event. Most system components have the
capability of sending hundreds of state events during normal operation.
SEA and OSEM are designed to filter these component events and only
notify customers and/or HP Services when action needs to be taken to
resolve or prevent an outage. As designed they will not report all events.
Other utilities are available to monitor real time system state. The software
is located on the storage server in the c:\hpnas\components\ISEE\OSEM
and c:\hpnas\components\ISEE\WEBES folders.
NOTE:
This feature is only available on the 300 or 500 series ProLiant Storage
Servers.
