Service Tickets

Service tickets are always reported against the violating field replaceable units (FRUs). The reporting FRU can be either of the following:

Service tickets can report both the violating FRU and the parent of the violating FRU. For more information about service tickets, see the Service Tickets topic in your DXi Online Help or DXi User's Guide.
