USE OF OPERATIONAL CONFIGURATION PARAMETERS TO PREDICT SYSTEM FAILURES
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- initializing a digital system, the initializing comprising determining an operational configuration of at least part of the digital system;
saving the operational configuration to a database stored on the digital system;
reading the operational configuration from the database and comparing the operational configuration to a reference configuration; and
identifying the digital system as being at risk of a future failure if at least one parameter of the operational configuration differs from the at least one same parameter of the reference configuration by more than a tolerance value.

Abstract
The use of operational configuration parameters to predict digital system failures is described herein. At least some illustrative embodiments include a method that includes initializing a digital system (the initializing comprising determining an operational configuration of at least part of the digital system), saving the operational configuration to a database stored on the digital system, reading the operational configuration from the database and comparing the operational configuration to a reference configuration, and identifying the digital system as being at risk of a future failure if at least one parameter of the operational configuration differs from the at least one same parameter of the reference configuration by more than a tolerance value.

8. A system, comprising:
-
processing logic; and a non-volatile storage device coupled to the processor; wherein the processing logic initializes a configuration of the system and stores at least part of the configuration in a database stored on the non-volatile storage device; and wherein the processing logic retrieves and makes available stored configuration data for comparison with at least part of a reference configuration to determine if the system is at risk of a future failure. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A computer-readable medium comprising software that causes a first processor to:
-
read an operational configuration from a database stored on a system, and to compare the operational configuration to a reference configuration; and identify the system as being at risk of a future failure if at least one parameter of the operational configuration differs from the at least one same parameter of the reference configuration by more than a tolerance value. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)
