A method is disclosed for alerting a co-tenant of a fault in a partitioned system. An apparatus and system also perform the functions of the method. The method includes monitoring, for faults, two or more partitions in a system sharing a management controller where each of the partitions is associated with a tenant. The method includes detecting a fault on a first partition and identifying an alert class of multiple alert classes for the fault. The method includes identifying the alert class of the fault as a high-level alert class indicating that the fault affects one or more other partitions different than the first partition. The method includes notifying the tenant of the first partition and each tenant of the one or more other partitions of the fault in response to the alert class being the high-level alert class.

Co-tenant alert apparatus, system, and method

A baseboard management controller in a partitionable multi-processor system may perform operations including receiving a plurality of event notifications from the partitionable multi-processor system including one or more event notifications from a first partitioned node including a first subset of hardware devices of the multi-processor system and one or more event notifications from a second partitioned node including a second subset of the hardware devices of the multi-processor system, wherein each event notification identifies an event and a specific one of the hardware devices that experienced the event. The operations may further include receiving a request for an event log for the first partitioned node and providing the requested event log for the first partitioned node including only those event notifications that identify a hardware device that is included in the first partitioned node.
