Severity Level Definitions
Support tickets are categorised according to a severity or business impact scale. Technical support requests within a severity level are generally processed on a first-come, first-served basis. Catastrophic (severity 1) and High-impact (severity 2) problems that require immediate response or direct help of technical support specialists may be processed out of turn. These situations require the Customer personnel to be at their work locations until a fix is developed or workaround is available.
When submitting a Support ticket, you are requested to supply detailed information (such as version of OpenNebula, platforms, steps to reproduce, exact error messages, logs, changes made to the system or environment prior to the issue, etc) for the OpenNebula support team to properly identify and diagnose the issue and speed up response and resolution of the ticket. OpenNebula Diagnostic Tool should be used for this task. Failure to supply this information upon request may result in delay of support assistance.
