Abstract
Systems and methods for automatic failover in modular chassis systems. In some embodiments, a modular chassis includes a chassis management controller and a plurality of server blades. A first of the plurality of server blades may be configured to detect an internal fault to and to transmit a corresponding alert message to the chassis management controller via a midplane connection. Moreover, the chassis management controller may be configured to initiate a migration procedure to transfer one or more workloads from the first server blade to a second of the plurality of server blades.
