Project Overview

The Hardware Fault Management subproject’s goal is to address the Large scale data center pain-points in managing hardware faults effectively. Objective of the subproject: to define hardware fault management solution such that it

- Minimizes performance degradation
- Reduces No Trouble Found (NTF) in RMA
- Scales the solution across heterogeneous fleet

Activities of the sub-project include:

- Develop running list of pain-points related to HW fault handling in the fleet. Here is the link to the spreadsheet: OCP-PainpointList
- Develop hardware fault management solution best practices to address the above pain-points. Here is the link to the doc: OCP-BestPractice
- Hardware Error reporting format Standardization: Error Format Standardization
- Define hardware error classification: HW Error Classification
- Standardizing system behavior under hardware failures
- Provide reference and guidance on system hardware failure management
