Virtual Library System (VLS)
VLS support in WEBES facilitates improved uptime for customers entitled by warranty or an
appropriate support contract ID including lower failure-to-repair time and higher first-time-fix
rates. VLS supports automated event monitoring using custom rules including verification of
monitoring connectivity. WEBES detects actionable field replaceable unit (FRU) failures
including reporting to customers and engaging the HP backend as needed. WEBES supports
automatic entitlement of VLS nodes (subject to new bundled product labelling).
