Abstract
An information handling system (IHS), baseboard management controller (BMC) and method are provided for preventing critical operations when power shutdown is predicted. A service processor of a BMC of the IHS executes a predicted power operation (PPO) utility to monitor health data from physical memory devices of memory of the IHS. Based on the health data, the service processor predicts that at least one of the physical memory devices will fail, causing a power shutdown of the IHS. To prevent any critical operation that is executed by a host processing subsystem of the IHS being adversely affected by the shutdown, the service processor of the BMC updates information contained in a PPO software sensor to indicate the predicted power down.
