Abstract
A computer system is monitored for conditions bearing on the effective age of various hardware components of the system. Upon detecting an age adjustment condition, the affected hardware components are identified. An age adjustment is determined for each of the affected hardware components. The adjusted age is stored for reference when taking actions based on the adjusted age, such a component replacement and/or workload placement.
