Service tickets

Opening a service ticket starts the process of determining a resolution to your device issues by making the pertinent information available to Lenovo Support quickly and efficiently. Lenovo service technicians can start working on your resolution as soon as a service ticket is opened.

If Call Home is configured, Lenovo XClarity Oneautomatically opens a service ticket in the Lenovo Support Center when a serviceable event occurs on a device, such as such as an unrecoverable memory (see Automatic problem notification (Call Home)).

If Call Home is configured, you also can manually open a service ticket for a specific device, from the Actions panel on device details page by clicking Service > Create a service ticket. When you can manually open a service ticket, XClarity One XClarity One opens a service ticket with Lenovo Support, collects service-data files for the managed device, and attaches the collected data to the ticket.

Use the following definitions when selecting the severity for the service ticket.

  • Low. The problem causes little or no impact to your operations, or you have implemented a reasonable workaround.

  • Medium. You can use the product with minor features unavailable. However, these restrictions do not have a critical impact on operations.

  • High. You can use the product, but your operations are severely limited by the problem.

  • Critical. You cannot use the product, resulting in a critical impact to your operations. This condition requires an immediate solution.

You can add additional information to a service ticket in the In Progress state at any time by adding notes and by uploading new service-data files. You can collect and upload new server data (inventory, vital product data, and event logs) for a specific device or upload an existing (local) service-data file that is no more than 2 GB.

Service ticket status in XClarity One is synchronized with Lenovo Support Center every 24 hours.

The State column identifies the service ticket status. A service ticket can be in one of the following states.
  • Open. Lenovo Support received the service ticket but is not actively working on the issue.
  • In progress. Lenovo Support is actively working on the issues.
  • On hold. Lenovo Support is waiting for feedback and has temporarily paused work on the issue.
  • Closed. The service ticket was resolved and is no longer active.
  • Other. The status of the service ticket is unknown.

You can view service ticket detail in the Lenovo Support ticketing system by clicking the service ticket number.
