First Claim
1. A system, comprising:
- a support engineer'"'"'s computing device;
a centralized event and action code repository (CEACR); and
a managed device coupled to the support engineer'"'"'s computing device and the CEASR, wherein the managed device, comprising;
a self learning manager;
an event and action code repository snap shot (EACRS);
an error analysis engine; and
a hardware/firmware layer coupled to the error analysis engine, wherein the self learning manager and the error analysis engine are to;
generate a service event including a unique service event ID, and associated set of prioritized cause and support engineer'"'"'s actions/recommendations and unique support engineer action codes for a support engineer;
receive support engineer actions taken by the support engineer upon completing the service event;
analyze support engineer actions taken by the support engineer;
determine any potential errors resulting from the support engineer actions and notifying the support engineer based on the outcome of the analysis; and
dynamically recommend any needed updates to the set of prioritized cause and support engineer actions/recommendations based on the outcome of the analysis.

Abstract
Techniques for support activity based self learning and analytics for datacenter device hardware/firmware fault management are described. In one example, a service event including a unique service event ID, a set of prioritized cause and support engineer actions/recommendations and associated unique support engineer action codes are generated for the support engineer upon detecting a hardware/firmware failure event. Support engineer actions taken by the support engineer upon completing the service event are then received. The support engineer actions are then analyzed using the set of prioritized cause and support engineer actions/recommendations and FRU configuration information before and after servicing the hardware/firmware failure. Any potential errors resulting from the support engineer actions are then determined and notified at real-time to the support engineer based on the outcome of the analysis. Any needed updates to the set of prioritized cause and support engineer actions/recommendations are then recommended.
