1. A method comprising:
- receiving at a location related failure identification device, failure data for a plurality of components within a system;
mapping at the location related failure identification device, said failure data to location data comprising a location of each of the components within the system;
identifying at the location related failure identification device, location related failures based on said mapping; and
outputting from the location related failure identification device, information on said location related failures.

Abstract
In one embodiment, a method includes receiving at a location related failure identification device, failure data for a plurality of components within a system, mapping at the device, the failure data to location data comprising a location of each of the components within the system, identifying at the device, location related failures based on the mapping, and outputting from the device, information on the location related failures. An apparatus and logic are also disclosed herein.
