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
- Define key baseline hardware fault management requirements to address the above pain-points
- Standardizing system behavior under hardware failures
- Provide reference and guidance on system hardware failure management
- Hardware Error reporting format Standardization.
