Failure prediction and load balancing for chassis components

An apparatus comprising:

• a processing device operatively coupled to a memory and configured:
• to establish a communications channel between a host device operating system, a chassis management module, and a remote access controller, wherein the host device operating system, the chassis management module and the remote access controller reside within a same chassis, wherein the remote access controller comprises a baseboard management controller;
• to analyze, by the chassis management module, operational data corresponding to one or more chassis components and data corresponding to usage of one or more nodes by the host device operating system;
• to activate one or more of a plurality of flags based at least in part on the analyzing, wherein the plurality of flags respectively correspond to different failure events associated with at least one of the one or more chassis components and the one or more nodes;
• and
• to send the one or more flags from the chassis management module to the host device operating system via the communications channel.

An article of manufacture comprising a non-transitory processor-readable storage medium having stored therein program code of one or more software programs, wherein the program code when executed by at least one processing device causes said at least one processing device to perform the steps of:

• establishing a communications channel between a host device operating system, a chassis management module, and a remote access controller, wherein the host device operating system, the chassis management module and the remote access controller reside within a same chassis, wherein the remote access controller comprises a baseboard management controller;
• analyzing, by the chassis management module, operational data corresponding to one or more chassis components and data corresponding to usage of one or more nodes by the host device operating system;
• activating one or more of a plurality of flags based at least in part on the analyzing, wherein the plurality of flags respectively correspond to different failure events associated with at least one of the one or more chassis components and the one or more nodes;
• and
• sending the one or more flags from the chassis management module to the host device operating system via the communications channel.
