Autonomic troubleshooting of a system of devices

A system of devices associated to a computer implemented method for autonomic troubleshooting, wherein a first device and a second device communicate with a host device via a separate main bus, comprising:

• a system management bus;
• a first device, wherein the first the device comprises:
• a first port configured to connect to the host device, via separate main bus, to enable data communication with the host device;
• a second port configured to connect to the system management bus to enable data communication with the second device;
• at least one processor configured to:
• send at least a first query to the second device via the system management bus;
• determine if the second device is in an error state based on:
• a response received from the second device, indicating an error at the second device;
• or
• an absence of the response from the second device,
• wherein, in response to a determined error state at the second device, send, via the system management bus, a control command from the first device to the second device.

A first device associated to a computer implemented method for autonomic troubleshooting, wherein a first device and second device communicate with a host device via a separate main bus, comprising:

• means for sending at least a first query to a second device on a system of devices, via a system management bus;
• means for determining if the second device is in an error state based on;
• a response received from the second device indicating an error at the second device;
• or
• absence of a response from the second device;
• means for sending to at least a second device a control command via the system management bus, wherein the control command is associated to the error state and is sent in response to the second device is determined to be in the error state.
