    摘要: A system that detects vibrations from a mechanical component, such as a disk drive. The system includes an excitation rod, a membrane, and a microphone. During operation, the mechanical component is coupled to the excitation rod which is coupled to the membrane, so that vibrations from the mechanical component are mechanically coupled through the excitation rod to the membrane. The membrane then converts the mechanical vibrations into acoustic waves that are transmitted through a medium. The microphone detects the acoustic waves in the medium and converts the acoustic waves into signals.

    摘要: One embodiment of the present invention provides a system that monitors a physical variable associated with an electronic component within a computer system. During operation, the system receives telemetry signals of the physical variable which are collected by one or more physical sensors associated with the electronic component. The system also collects electromagnetic interference (EMI) signals generated by the electronic component. Next, the system builds an inferential model for the physical variable by correlating the EMI signals with the telemetry signals. The system then uses the inferential model to infer values for the physical variable from the EMI signals.

    摘要: A system that detects the onset of hard disk drive failure. During operation, the system measures vibrations from the hard disk drive to produce one or more vibration signals. Next, the system generates a vibration signature for the hard disk drive from the measured vibration signals. The system then determines if the vibration signature indicates the onset of hard disk failure by comparing the vibration signature with a reference vibration signature for the hard disk drive. If so, the system generates a warning or takes a remedial action.

    摘要: One embodiment of the present invention provides a system that enhances reliability, availability and serviceability in a computer system by replacing a signal from a failed sensor with an estimated signal derived from correlations with other instrumentation signals in the computer system. During operation, the system determines whether a sensor has failed in the computer system while the computer system is operating. If so, the system uses an estimated signal for the failed sensor in place of the actual signal from the failed sensor during subsequent operation of the computer system, wherein the estimated signal is derived from correlations with other instrumentation signals in the computer system. This allows the computer system to continue operating without the failed sensor.
