Abstract
Diagnostic tests are performed in a data center that includes servers of various types and a management console, where each server provides an error log in a format specific to the type of the server. The management console receives an error log indicating an error produced by a hardware component, parses the error log into an error notification that describes the error and a type of the hardware component, and provides the error notification to other servers. Each of the other servers determines whether the server includes a hardware component of the same type, and if so, performs one or more diagnostic tests on the hardware component and reports results of the diagnostic tests to the management console.
