ELECTRONIC SYSTEM CONFIGURATION MANAGEMENT
First Claim
1. A method for managing a configuration of an electronic system having a plurality of locations each configured to receive a hardware unit, the method comprising:
- receiving a set of hardware parameters corresponding to a hardware unit to be installed in the electronic system;
retrieving configuration data for the electronic system and at least one set of hardware parameters corresponding to at least one hardware unit installed in the electronic system;
generating a plurality of hardware unit predicted times to failure (TTFs) corresponding to the plurality of locations within the electronic system by applying, to a failure prediction model, the set of hardware parameters corresponding to the hardware unit to be installed in the electronic system, the configuration data for the electronic system, and the at least one set of hardware parameters;
selecting, based on a selection criteria, the plurality of hardware unit predicted TTFs corresponding to the plurality of locations;
reporting, based on the selected plurality of hardware unit predicted TTFs and for the hardware unit to be installed in the electronic system, a recommended location from the plurality of locations within the electronic system to extend a predicted TTF of the electronic system.

Abstract
A method for managing a configuration of an electronic system having a plurality of locations configured to receive hardware units is disclosed. The method may include receiving hardware unit parameters corresponding to hardware units currently installed and pending installation in the electronic system and retrieving configuration data for the electronic system. The method may also include generating a plurality of hardware unit times to failure (TTFs) for the plurality of locations by applying, to a failure prediction model, the hardware parameters for hardware units currently installed and pending installation and the configuration data for the electronic system. The method may also include using a selection criteria to select the plurality of hardware unit predicted TTFs corresponding to the plurality of locations and reporting at least one recommended hardware unit installation location from the plurality of locations within the electronic system.
