Frequently Asked Questions

How does SupportAssist automatically create support cases?

When it detects one or more alerts indicating a critical failure, a service request is automatically submitted to Dell EMC.

What types of hardware faults can SupportAssist monitor?

It monitors alerts from servers, chassis, iDRAC, networking gear, and storage devices like PeerStorage or Equallogic.

When will information be collected even if a support case isn't created?

If the device has an expired or Basic Support entitlement, system state info is still collected and sent to Dell EMC backend (if configured).
