Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An information handling system (IHS) diagnostic system includes a user IHS that is coupled to a network and operable to generate a log file that is associated with a user IHS error. A distributed processing IHS is coupled to the user IHS through the network and operable to receive the log file generated by the user IHS over the network. That log file is then stored on a plurality of node IHS's in the distributed processing IHS. When a job request is received from the user IHS over the network, a job associated with the job request is performed on the log file using the plurality of node IHS's to create a job result. The job result that includes at least one cause of the user IHS error is then provided to the user IHS.
