Patent Images
1. A method for detecting network and hardware failures in a computing environment, by a processor device, comprising:
- isolating component failures by deploying a diagnostic code within an Operating System (OS) of both a first node and a connected appliance, and executing a set of diagnostic tests using the diagnostic code to determine if the source of the failure is within the first node or the connected appliance; and
executing the set of diagnostic tests during the deployment of the connected appliance, the set of diagnostic tests configured to execute from within the connected appliance.
