Abstract
In one embodiment, a method includes determining a plurality of hardware components of a system. The method also includes power cycling a first hardware component of the plurality of hardware components of the system according to a dynamic schedule. A period of time in which power cycling of the first hardware component takes place is shortened as the age of the first hardware component approaches the expected lifespan of the first hardware component. Also, the method includes determining whether the first hardware component experienced a power-up failure resulting from the power cycling. Moreover, the method includes outputting an indication to replace and/or repair the first hardware component in response to a determination that the first hardware component experienced the power-up failure resulting from the power cycling. Other systems, methods, ad computer program products for preventing unexpected power-up failures of individual hardware components are described in accordance with more embodiments.
