Abstract
Fan or fan tray failures are currently handled within the scope of the information handling system that has suffered the failure. In such cases, the addressing such issues may be difficult or impossible to do without completely shutting down the device. In one or more embodiments, by announcing the failure to one or more protocols, which allows the handling of such a failure event at a topological level rather that purely at the device level, the impact to the device as well as to the overall traffic in the topology may be drastically mitigated.
