Managing startup telemetry data obtained during a startup of a data processing system using a management controller

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:

• identifying, by a management controller of the data processing system, a startup of hardware resources of the data processing system;
• during the startup, obtaining, by the management controller and from the hardware resources via a first side band channel, startup telemetry data regarding operation of the hardware resources during the startup;
• storing, by the management controller and to a storage device of the hardware resources via a second side band channel, the startup telemetry data;
• in an instance of the startup where an undesired startup event occurred during the startup:
• using, by the management controller and via the second side band channel, the startup telemetry data in the storage device to initiate a remediation for the hardware resources to identify a remediation action;
• and
• performing, by the management controller, the remediation action to update the operation of the hardware resources to improve a likelihood of completion of future startup processes without occurrences of undesired startup events.

A data processing system, comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory coupled to the processor to store instructions, which when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations for managing operation of a data processing system, the operations comprising:

• during the startup, obtaining, by the management controller and from the hardware resources via a first side band channel, startup telemetry data regarding operation of the hardware resources during the startup;
