Patent ID: 7877635

Claim:
A method for the autonomous diagnosis and repair of user-configured storage subsystem components in a storage environment by a processor device, comprising: selecting, by the user, all or part of the storage subsystem components for configuration; configuring a severity matrix for the selected storage subsystem components, including: assigning each of the selected storage subsystem components, by the user, a default configuration value indicating whether the selected storage subsystem components are configured for one of an action and a notification, and loading a plurality of predetermined values including a numerical severity value assigned to one of a plurality of possible errors; monitoring the selected storage system components to identify at least one of the plurality of possible errors for at least one of the selected storage subsystem components, the at least one of the plurality of possible errors corresponding to an error code; cross referencing the error code against a severity matrix; querying a depot for a fix code; and if the configuration value of the at least one of the selected storage subsystem components indicates the at least one of the selected storage subsystem components is configured for an action, applying the fix code to the at least one of the plurality of possible errors to autonomously repair the at least one of the at least one of the selected storage subsystem components.
