Using support tickets

Command View TL uses an integrated version of HP StoreEver L&TT to generate a support ticket.
In the event of a hardware problem, a support ticket can provide vital information to help in
diagnosing and resolving the problem.

When a support ticket is generated, the program collects configuration information and executes
a Device Analysis test on the selected device or devices. This information can then be viewed,
saved, or sent via e-mail to HP Support for assistance.

NOTE:

A support ticket for a drive contains a drive margin report and is the only way to get that

information.

A support ticket is saved as a ZIP file that Command View TL uses when you save or e-mail the
support ticket (see

(page 177)

and

Sending a support ticket by e-mail

). The ZIP file contains a *.ltd

file for each selected device. You can extract and view a *.ltd file with L&TT versions 4.2 and
later.
