Information handling system fault analysis with remote remediation file system
A disclosed fault analysis solution and method includes provisioning an NVMe boot directory of an information handling system with a notification module configured to perform certain operations in a pre-OS context, The operations may include detecting a pre-OS error event, determining a faulty component associated with the error event, identifying one or more executable scripts and tools associated with the faulty component, invoking a support app to download the one or more executable scripts and tools, and executing the one or more executable scripts and tools to generate a fault analysis report. The executable scripts may perform script operations including retrieving event data including one or more logs and system parameters associated with either the error event or the faulty component and storing the event data in an error log file. The executable tools may perform remedial measures associated with the error event or the faulty component.
1. A fault analysis method, comprising:
provisioning a non-volatile memory express (NVMe) boot directory of an information handling system with a notification module configured to perform operations in a pre-operating system (pre-OS) context, wherein the operations include:
detecting a pre-OS error event;
determining a faulty component associated with the error event;
identifying one or more executable scripts and tools associated with the faulty component;
invoking a support app to download the one or more executable scripts and tools; and
executing the one or more executable scripts and tools to generate a fault analysis report, wherein executing the scripts and tools includes downloading platform firmware fixes, fixing boot issues, and fixing corrupted OS issues.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the pre-OS error event is selected from the group comprising hardware errors, firmware issues, and OS boot issues and wherein the one or more executable scripts are executable from a platform shell of the information handling to perform script operations including:
retrieving event data including one or more logs and system parameters associated with either the error event or the faulty component; and
storing the event data in an error log file.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the executable tools are configured, when executed from a platform shell of the information handling system, to perform remedial measures associated with the error event or the faulty component.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the executable tools are downloaded from a remote directory of a network file system.
5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the remote directory comprises a dynamically mapped directory of a remote remediation server.
6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the remote directory is an NVMe boot directory mounted by the NVMe boot directory of the information handling system.
7. The method of claim 5 , wherein the dynamically mapped directory includes a dynamically mapped directory path, wherein the directory path is determined in accordance with hardware, firmware, and/or drivers of the information handling system.
8. The method of claim 5 , wherein the dynamically mapped directory of the remote remediation server is maintained by a machine learning integrated metadata server.
9. An information handling system, comprising:
a processor; and
a non-transitory computer readable medium including fault analysis instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the process to perform fault analysis operations comprising:
provisioning a non-volatile memory express (NVMe) boot directory of the information handling system with a notification module configured to perform operations in a pre-operating system (pre-OS) context, wherein the operations include:
detecting a pre-OS error event;
determining a faulty component associated with the error event;
identifying one or more executable scripts and tools associated with the faulty component;
invoking a support app to download the one or more executable scripts and tools; and
executing the one or more executable scripts and tools to generate a fault analysis report.
10. The information handling system of claim 9 , wherein the one or more executable scripts are executable from a platform shell of the information handling system to perform script operations including:
retrieving event data including one or more logs and system parameters associated with either the error event or the faulty component; and
storing the event data in an error log file.
11. The information handling system of claim 9 , wherein the executable tools are configured, when executed from a platform shell of the information handling system, to perform remedial measures associated with the error event or the faulty component.
12. The information handling system of claim 9 , wherein the executable tools are downloaded from a remote directory of a network file system.
13. The information handling system of claim 12 , wherein the remote directory comprises a dynamically mapped directory of a remote remediation server.
14. The information handling system of claim 13 , wherein the remote directory is an NVMe boot directory mounted by the NVMe boot directory of the information handling system.
15. The information handling system of claim 13 , wherein the dynamically mapped directory includes a dynamically mapped directory path, wherein the directory path is determined in accordance with hardware, firmware, and/or drivers of the information handling system.
16. The information handling system of claim 13 , wherein the dynamically mapped directory of the remote remediation server is maintained by a machine learning integrated metadata server.
