More Information
Summary:An apparatus includes a plurality of components and a plurality of component controllers. Each of the plurality of component controllers is associated with at least one component of the plurality of components. Each component controller is configured to compute a local power budget for the at least one component based, at least in part, on the power differential and the proportion of the total power consumption corresponding to the at least one component. A service processor is configured to determine failure associated with at least one component controller of the plurality of component controllers or the at least one component associated with the at least one component controller. The service processor is configured to in response to a reset threshold not being exceeded, reset the at least one component controller without interrupting operations of any components of the at least one component that have not failed.
