Our IBMi has always phoned-home for cache batteries, so we were a little surprised when it didn't for a fiber card problem.

I'm curious on this as I have also known WRKPRB's to not call home.
I wonder if the system senses it has a HMC and assumes the HMC is handling all that?
Earlier this year our cache batteries went kaput (pardon the high level technical jargon)... but our system didn't phone home when they were nearing scheduled replacement.
On the other hand, when we had a runaway task that chewed up all our disk space, the system did phone home and I got a call from IBM indicating we had a out of disk situation. I was able to get into the HMC, bring the system up in restricted state, and delete a single IFS file to get the system back under control.
