  • Travel zones

    HPE Service Storage support may use forward stocking locations that have different coverage areas than those defined in the HPE Tech Care data sheet. Hardware on-site presence and on-site parts response times apply only to sites located within 150 miles (241 km) of an HPE Services Storage designated support hub for non-critical service levels.


    Travel zones and charges, if applicable, may vary in some geographic locations.


    Response times to sites located more than 150 miles (241 km) from an HPE designated support hub will have modified response times for extended travel, as shown in the following table.

  • Prerequisites

    The Customer must purchase HPE Tech Care Service for HPE Storage hardware and software to receive the defined service features.

  • DMR and CDMR

    The DMR and CDMR service feature options for certain HPE Storage products are available for on-site service and hardware exchange service levels.

  • Hardware call to repair

    Availability of call-to-repair times is dependent on the proximity of Customers’ site to an HPE-designated support hub, as described in the “Travel zones” section. Call-to-repair times apply to Customer submitted severity 1 and severity 2 incidents. For severity 3 or 4 incidents, or incidents scheduled at request, HPE works with Customers to schedule an agreed-upon time for the remedial action to begin, and the call-to-repair time will then start at that time. For automated electronically submitted severity 1 and 2 incidents, HPE attempts to contact the indicated Customer contact to commence repair. Incident severity levels are defined in the “General provisions / other exclusions” section.


    For hardware call-to-repair time commitments, HPE requires that Customers install and operate the appropriate HPE remote support solution to enable service delivery. Contact a local HPE representative for further details on requirements, specifications, and exclusions. If Customers do not deploy the appropriate HPE remote support solution, HPE may not be able to provide the service as defined and is not obligated to do so. Additional charges will be applied for on-site installation of noncustomer-installable firmware if Customers do not deploy the appropriate HPE remote support solution in cases where recommended and available. Installation of Customer-installable firmware is the Customers’ responsibility.


    HPE, at its sole discretion, may require an audit on the call-to-repair covered products. If such an audit is required, an HPE authorized representative will contact the Customer, and they will agree to arrange for an audit to be performed within the initial 30-day time frame. At the sole discretion of HPE, the audit may be performed on-site, through remote system access, through remote audit tools, or over the phone. If an audit is required by HPE, it will take 30 days from the time this service is purchased to set up and perform the audits and processes that must be completed before the hardware call-to-repair time commitment can be put into effect. The hardware call-to-repair time commitment will not take effect until five business days after the audit has been completed. Until such time, service for the covered hardware will be delivered at a 4-hour on-site response time service level. In addition, HPE reserves the right to downgrade service to an on-site response time or cancel the service contract if critical audit suggestions are not followed or the audit is not performed within the specified time frame, unless the delay is caused by HPE.


    HPE reserves the right to modify the call-to-repair time commitment as it applies to specific product configuration, location, and environment. This is established at the time of the support agreement order and is subject to resource availability. A hardware call-to-repair time commitment does not apply to software products or when Customers choose to have HPE prolonged diagnosis rather than run recommended recovery procedures. The hardware call-to-repair time commitments and on-site response times do not apply to the repair or replacement of defective or depleted consumables. Consumables may be covered by a separate warranty. The hardware call-to-repair time commitment is subject to Customers providing immediate and unrestricted access to the system as requested by HPE. The following activities or situations may suspend the hardware call-to-repair time calculation (if applicable) until they are completed or resolved:

    • Any Customer or third-party action or inaction impacting the repair process
    • Delayed or denied requests for system access, including physical, remote troubleshooting, and hardware diagnostic assessments, are delayed or denied
    • Any automated or manual recovery processes triggered by a hardware malfunction, such as disk mechanism rebuild, sparing procedures, or data integrity protection measures
    • Any other activities not specific to the hardware repair but which are required to verify that the hardware malfunction has been corrected, such as rebooting the operating system
  • Customer responsibilities

    In addition to those outlined in the HPE Tech Care Service data sheet, the Customers are responsible for the following:

    • The Customer must register for an HPE InfoSight account and associate all HPE Storage products.
    • The Customer and related parties must maintain relevant install base data, such as contact information and service/delivery address. When such information must be withheld or occluded (such as for security reasons), support and service capabilities will be limited.
    • The Customer and related parties must communicate information about the array, shelves, and any associated hardware and software. Timely, accurate, and complete information is critical to proper support.
    • The Customer and related parties must maintain a supportable configuration, including software and hardware; these include drives, solid-state drives (SSDs), and cards. Any unsupported, third-party, or unofficial market components found with the HPE Storage product will void the supportability and any obligations for support. Support may resume when the HPE product is returned to its covered configuration. Supportability can be reestablished if the configuration is restored. Options include restoring components originally in the array/shelf or purchasing new, supported components and using those in the array/shelf.
    • Movement or repurposing of hardware between compatible and eligible arrays should be confirmed with the relevant account team and HPE Services Storage Support to avoid getting to an unsupported configuration. Any unsupported configuration is ineligible for support, including downloads, until it has been restored to a supported configuration.
  • Service limitations

    These storage support services are available for HPE Storage devices, which have not reached their end of support date.


    If, in HPE’s reasonable judgment, the original acquisition of an HPE Storage product from HPE or a reseller occurred through unauthorized means, HPE has no obligations to provide Customer services or any support services to Customer for the product in question or to allow any associated software licenses to continue.


    The HPE Storage support contracts and associated entitlements may not be transferred. If an entitled HPE Storage product is transferred or sold to another party, the receiving party must contact HPE to purchase the latest support contract.


    The features of these services may differ or be limited, based on specific devices or software. Check with an HPE sales representative for specific limitations and local availability.

  • Service eligibility

    The HPE Storage product must be a supported HPE hardware configuration running the HPE Storage software and covered by an active HPE Tech Care Service agreement.


    The service requires that all hardware, hardware options, and software are covered by the service. HPE Tech Care Service (including HPE Tech Care Service for HPE Storage) is not designed to be purchased on software-only configurations due to the integrated nature of the service deliverables, thus, all the software and hardware, in the solution, should be purchased with the same HPE Tech Care Service level.


    If an array or shelf does not have valid entitlement through a current HPE Storage support contract, any associated components will not be supported, except where required by law.


    All arrays and shelves in a group must have an active and valid support contract to be eligible for support. A group is a collection of up to four arrays that are managed by the Customer as a single entity. If any array or shelf in a group does not have valid entitlement, support can be denied. The support term of any hardware component will co-terminate with the array with which the hardware is used. This includes expansion shelves.


    Limitations:

    • The support term of the hardware component cannot be extended past the service life of that component, regardless of the array lifecycle. That is, any hardware component that has reached the end of support will not be supported, even if the array is supportable.
    • If an array or shelf has reached the end of support, any hardware components within are not considered supportable, regardless of the component lifecycle. The relevant hardware component must be used with a compatible, supportable array that has a valid HPE support contract.
  • General provisions/other exclusions

    • The Customer acknowledges and agrees that HPE may use resources outside the country of purchase for delivery of these services unless otherwise specified as part of a service feature description.
    • For SSDs (including NVMe-based) that have not reached end of support, the HPE Storage support team monitors the wear of the component when sufficient data is provided by the Customer and replaces the component when the wear limit has been reached. Replacement parts for the wear-limited components are not stocked in local depots and are not subject to the HPE Storage support SLAs. Such replacement parts are shipped from the HPE Storage manufacturing facilities on a commercially reasonable effort basis.
    • HPE will be excused from the performance of its obligations under these terms if such failure to perform results from compliance with any requirement of applicable law, supply shortages, work stoppages, changes to international trade policies, telecommunications or network failure, acts of war (whether they be declared or not), acts of terrorism, regional or global pandemic, acts of God, and any causes beyond the reasonable control of HPE. Any delay resulting from any of such causes shall extend performance accordingly or excuse performance, in whole or in part, as may be reasonable under the circumstances.
    • For hardware call-to-repair agreements, repair time begins when the customer contacts HPE through phone and HPE acknowledges the call-to-repair need has been identified. The time ends when HPE has determined that the hardware has been returned to the functionality or HPE determines that no hardware intervention is required.
