Abstract: Predictive Failure Analysis (PFA) techniques that are thermal aware can enable the prevention of uncorrectable errors without premature replacement of memory resources with redundant memory resources. In one example, a management controller (such as Baseboard Management Controller (BMC)) can monitor the rate of corrected errors. When the BMC detects that there are too many corrected errors occurring within certain time duration, the BMC can check the temperature and airflow rate of memory modules. Based on temperature data, the BMC can boost the fans and verify the reduction in memory corrected errors. If after multiple retries the rate of corrected error remains same, the BMC can enable memory resource replacement techniques such as SDDC or ADDDC or sparing on the failing memory module.

Abstract: A method and system may send a first data packet on a network from a client node to a management server. The first data packet may be formatted to include a client Internet Protocol (IP) address field, a Universally Unique Identifier (UUID) request flag, a client UUID field, a client hardware address, and a first port number. The client node may listen for a second port number on the network and may receive a second data packet. The second data packet may have the same format as the first data packet and may include the second port number.

Abstract: A group of managed servers may be monitored by initially querying the network to determine which servers are present. The present servers may be identified by a universal unique identifier and their Internet Protocol address. A table may be maintained to correlate the Internet Protocol address and the universal unique identifier.
