Note: The first IBM ID that is sent to IBM from this Electronic Service Agent window becomes the administrator. The administrator is the only IBM ID that has the authority to manage IBM IDs using the IBM Electronic Services Web site functions.
For security and privacy reasons, it is necessary that an IBM ID be associated with a specific system. Only the specified IDs are able to view the service information for that system. Up to two IBM IDs can be entered per request. To add additional IDs, see the information under Managing IBM IDs.
After you authorize the IBM IDs using this window, you can use the IBM Electronic Services Web site to access system information sent by this HMC.
You must authorize IBM IDs from each system or logical partition, and HMC for which you would like to view the service information. This authorization must be performed using the Electronic Service Agent user interface supplied by each system, logical partition, or HMC.
For more information, see the Service Management section in the Operations Guide for the Hardware Management Console.
To manage your IBM IDs, which includes associating new IBM IDs with a system or removing existing IBM IDs, go to the IBM Electronic Services Web site and select Services administration.
