SPOCC Overview Service Processor Onsite Customer Care (SPOCC) is a suite of service tools applications in a web-based graphical user interface that is available to you for support of the HP 3PAR Storage System and its SP. SPOCC provides a vehicle to review logs and files, to store various types of support documentation, and to manually record system configuration details that are not directly available from the system itself. SPOCC offers you a web-based alternative to accessing most of the features and functionality available through SPMAINT. One important feature offered by SPOCC that is not available through SPMAINT is the ability to create subscription-based local notification lists. Local notification is designed primarily for those who want to be automatically notified of specific events or symptoms from a particular system. SPOCC allows you to enable or disable local notification and to manage how and when you are notified of important system events.

When a task cannot be performed through SPOCC, this guide shows you how to perform that task using SPMAINT. Logging In to SPOCC To log in to SPOCC: 1.

SPOCC Overview
Service Processor Onsite Customer Care (SPOCC) is a suite of service tools applications in a
web-based graphical user interface that is available to you for support of the HP 3PAR Storage
System and its SP. SPOCC provides a vehicle to review logs and files, to store various types of
support documentation, and to manually record system configuration details that are not directly
available from the system itself. SPOCC offers you a web-based alternative to accessing most of
the features and functionality available through SPMAINT.
One important feature offered by SPOCC that is not available through SPMAINT is the ability to
create subscription-based local notification lists. Local notification is designed primarily for those
who want to be automatically notified of specific events or symptoms from a particular system.
SPOCC allows you to enable or disable local notification and to manage how and when you are
notified of important system events.
Because SPOCC is a web-based interface, it is possible to have several active SPOCC sessions
running at the same time, regardless of user privilege levels. By contrast, only one SPMAINT session
is allowed at any one time through SPOCC or a CLI session.
There are many tasks that can be performed using either the SPOCC interface or the SPMAINT
interface. Because the SPOCC interface is the primary user interface available for the support of
both the storage system and its SP, this guide focuses on performing tasks through SPOCC. When
a task cannot be performed through SPOCC, this guide shows you how to perform that task using
SPMAINT.
