System and Method of Managing Information Handling Systems

A method, comprising:

• determining that a number of operational power supply units, of a plurality of power supply units of an information handling system chassis, is below a first threshold;
• determining a first amount of power consumed by a plurality of information handling systems housed by the information handling system chassis;
• determining if the first amount of power meets a second threshold;
• if the first amount of power meets the second threshold:
• initiating a first transfer of data from at least one volatile memory medium of a first information handling system of the plurality of information handling systems to at least one non-volatile memory medium of the first information handling system;
• powering down the first information handling system;
• after the first information handling system is powered down, determining a second amount of power consumed by the plurality of information handling systems of the information handling system chassis;
• determining that the second amount of power meets a third threshold;
• and
• initiating a second transfer of data from at least one volatile memory medium of a second information handling system of the plurality of information handling systems to at least one non-volatile memory medium of the second information handling system;
• if the amount of power does not meet the second threshold, determining if one or more chassis criteria meet one or more respective thresholds;
• if the one or more chassis criteria meet the one or more respective thresholds, powering off the information handling system chassis;
• and
• if the one or more chassis criteria does not meet the one or more respective thresholds, initiating a throttle of one or more of the plurality of information handling systems.

A computer-readable non-transitory memory medium that includes processor instructions that, when executed by at least one processor of an enclosure controller, cause the enclosure controller to:

• determine that a number of operational power supply units of a plurality of power supply units is below a first threshold;
• determine a first amount of power consumed by a plurality of information handling systems housed by an information handling system chassis;
• determine if the first amount of power meets a second threshold;
• if the first amount of power meets the second threshold:
• initiate a first transfer of data from at least one volatile memory medium of a first information handling system of the plurality of information handling systems to at least one non-volatile memory medium of the first information handling system;
• power down the first information handling system;
• after the first information handling system is powered down, determine a second amount of power consumed by the plurality of information handling systems;
• determine that the second amount of power meets a third threshold;
• and
• initiate a second transfer of data from at least one volatile memory medium of a second information handling system of the plurality of information handling systems to at least one non-volatile memory medium of the second information handling system;
• if the amount of power does not meet the second threshold, determine if one or more chassis criteria meet one or more respective thresholds;
• if the one or more chassis criteria meet the one or more respective thresholds, power off the information handling system chassis;
• and
• if the one or more chassis criteria does not meet the one or more respective thresholds, initiate a throttle of one or more of the plurality of information handling systems.
