Customize Outbound Connectivity

Use this task to initiate an outbound connection between this machine and your support structure, such as your service provider's remote support facility. You can specify how the local Hardware Management Console (HMC) connects to your service provider's remote support facility from a local modem, an Internet Virtual Private Network (VPN), or a remote pass-through system, and to test the availability of the connections.

Click Enable local system as a call-home server to allow the local HMC to connect to your service provider's remote support facility for call-home requests.

Proceed through the tabs you want to configure for outbound connectivity.
