Viewing Service Tickets
Service tickets include time and date information, status (open or closed), information about each error, and
links to recommended troubleshooting procedures. The DXi4700 generates service tickets according to the
following scenarios:
l If the component associated with the problem does not have an open service ticket, the DXi4700 opens
a service ticket for the component and reports the problem in a service ticket.
l If the problem reoccurs, the DXi4700 logs the number of times that it detects the problem in the existing
report.
l If a different problem occurs with the same component, the DXi4700 adds a new report to the same
service ticket.
l If a problem occurs with a different component, the DXi4700 uses the above scenario to open a new
service ticket for the component or report the problem in an existing service ticket associated with the
component.
To access the Service Tickets page, click the Alerts menu, and then click the Service Tickets tab.
