NOTES
The autosupport mechanism is enabled by default. When the system boots it will
enable the feature. If, for security or other reasons, you wish to disable this fea-
ture you should add a line in /etc/rc to disable it:
options autosupport.enable off
If you do keep autosupport enabled, remember to add the following lines in /etc/
rc with your name, phone number and site name. For example,
snmp contact ”John - 555-555-1212”
snmp location ”Computer Lab”
Add the lines with your information even if you do not use SNMP. This informa-
tion is sent in the notification and will help Dell support contact you proactively in
case of a problem.
