Abstract
Methods and systems for managing operation of data processing systems are disclosed. The data processing systems may include power supplies that may be impacted by various conditions. To manage exposure to the conditions, the power supplies may self-monitor for occurrences of the conditions and report the occurrences to a logic device using a point-to-point channel. The logic device automatically identify and implement actions to reduce an impact of the occurrences of the conditions.
Claims20
A method for managing operation of a data processing system, the method comprising:
- identifying, by a power supply, a change in a sensed quantity that triggers an alert;
- obtaining, by the power supply and to a logic device, a report regarding the sensed quantity via a channel;
- identifying, by the logic device and based on the report, a provider of the report, a source that caused the change in the sensed quantity, and a value for at least one parameter that caused the change in the sensed quantity to be identified;
- selecting, by the logic device and based on the provider, the source, and the value, an action set;
- and
- performing, by the logic device, the action set to attempt to remediate the alert.
A non-transitory machine-readable medium having instructions stored therein, which when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations for managing operation of a data processing system, the operations comprising:
- obtaining, by a logic device and via a channel, a report regarding a change in a sensed quantity that triggers an alert for a power supply of the data processing system;
- identifying, by the logic device and based on the report, a provider of the report, a source that caused the change in the sensed quantity, and a value for at least one parameter that caused the change in the sensed quantity to be identified;
- selecting, by the logic device and based on the provider, the source, and the value, an action set;
- and
- performing, by the logic device, the action set to attempt to remediate the alert.
A data processing system, comprising:
- a power supply adapted to identify a change in a sensed quantity that triggers an alert a logic device adapted to:
- obtain, via a channel, a report regarding a change in a sensed quantity that triggers an alert for a power supply of the data processing system;
- identify, based on the report, a provider of the report, a source that caused the change in the sensed quantity, and a value for at least one parameter that caused the change in the sensed quantity to be identified;
- select, based on the provider, the source, and the value, an action set;
- and
- perform the action set to attempt to remediate the alert.
