    SGI's Embedded Support Partner:
    SGI(R) Embedded Support Partner (ESP) is a problem-detection and solution-generating software program that's built into the IRIX(R) operating system. This program monitors SGI machines to detect conditions that suggest potential system problems and notifies you if something is amiss. In the event a problem is discovered, ESP alerts both SGI and you, via the notification method you prefer (plain text or encrypted e-mail, pager, or console message). ESP can monitor a single system or group of systems for a variety of situations, including: * Unusual environmental conditions * Potential software and hardware failures * Performance metrics * Availability of systems * Configuration changes to the parts level You can also generate metrics reports in a standard report format. Learn how proactive support can save you money, time, and trouble in the ESP service brief (PDF 128K). The activation process for ESP and auto-call logging is easy. To quickly register and initiate the program, you should first access the most up-to-date steps for activation, available on Supportfolio.
