SYSTEM CONTROL PROCESSOR POWER UNAVAILABILITY DATA STORAGE SYSTEM

An SCP power unavailability data storage system includes a chassis housing a power system, a central processing system, and an SCP subsystem that are coupled together. The SCP subsystem includes a volatile SCP memory system storing data provided by the central processing system, an SCP processing system coupled to the volatile SCP memory system, and an SCP communication system that, when power is unavailable from the power system, utilizes power received via its data/power port(s) and provides that power to the volatile SCP memory system and the SCP processing system. An SCP data storage engine provided by the SCP processing system will, in response to an unavailability of power from the power system, operate using power received via the data/power port(s), retrieve data stored in the volatile SCP memory system, and transmit the data via port(s) on the SCP communication system and through a network for storage on storage device(s).
