Working with Support

This section contains information about creating and managing support cases. For information about case priorities and SLAs, escalations, software maintenance, warranty and equipment returns, training and certification, and much more, seethe Support page。

Open a New Case

There are four ways to open a new support case:

  • Email
  • Phone
  • Orchestrator UI
  • 支持Portal

Cases are assigned as quickly as possible. For non-urgent issues, customers may specify their time zone or preferred meeting times for the best experience.

NOTE: When opening a case from the Orchestrator UI or via the Support Portal, it is best practice to always add or attach a sysdump to the case. A detailed procedure about creating and uploading sysdumps is available in the Appendix.
