Abstract
Aspects for detecting environmental faults in redundant components of a computer system are described. In an exemplary method aspect, the method includes monitoring system environment conditions, including a status for redundant power supply and cooling components. The method further includes registering a failure condition with an appropriate error type when a monitored system environment condition exceeds a design threshold, and utilizing the registered failure condition as data in an architected error log.
