Working With Remedy/PRMS Bill Tomlin & Carlos Ungil CERN IT-FIO-FD 14 July 2006
What we’ll cover… • Some Concepts • User Interfaces • Grid Services • CERN ROC • Practical Demo
Concept #1: Classification Domain Category Type Item General Desktop support Grid Services FC/SAN Support Switches IT Services Mass storage Disk arrays User Support Remedy Support General Hardware Disks Technical Support CC Support Raid Controllers ROCCERN Databases TSM Backup All
Concept #2: Groups and Support Levels • User Groups • Per domain • Owners • Support Levels • 1st level: help desk (default) • 2nd level: service managers • 3rd level: experts • Each Domain/Category/Type/Item • must have 2nd level group defined • may have 3rd level group defined • Managed by Domain Managers • For IT Services and ROC CERN: Nicole Cremel IT/UDS
Concept #3: Ticket Lifecycle New Email roc-cern.support@cern.ch remedy.support@cern.ch bdii.support@cern.ch rb.support@cern.ch etc. Assigned expert unavailable request for information last request for information expert currently unavailable scheduled intervention waiting for parts sent to external analyst work at external company Open On Hold Fixed Automatic after 5 days Closed
