ABSTRACT:
A computer-implemented method, system and computer program product for managing failover of Management Modules (MMs) in a blade chassis are presented. Each server blade in the blade chassis evaluates a performance of a primary MM. If a threshold number of server blades determine that the primary MM is not meeting pre-determined minimum performance standards, then a secondary MM impeaches the primary MM and takes over the management of the server blades.
