In order to implement the diagnosis of the server, the following embodiments of the present application provide a diagnosis method of the server, and a diagnosis apparatus to which the method can be applied.
As shown in fig. 1, in the following embodiments of the present application, a server to be diagnosed includes: a host and a BMC (Baseboard Management Controller), the host including: a CPU (central processing Unit) and a PCH (integrated south bridge). An operating system is preinstalled in a storage medium such as a hard disk and a memory in the server or in a removable storage device accessing the server, and a diagnostic tool for diagnosing the server is integrated in the operating system. The operating system may be any operating system, such as a Windows operating system, a Linux operating system, and the like, and the diagnostic tool may be any tool for diagnosing the server. Preferably, the operating system is an IF (Integrated Fast Intelligent Scalable toolset) operating system, and the diagnostic tool is a FIST (Fast Intelligent Scalable toolset).
In addition, the removable storage device may be specifically an SD (Secure Digital) memory card, a removable hard disk, a usb disk, or the like. As shown in fig. 1, when the removable storage device is an SD memory card, the SD memory card accesses the BMC; when the removable storage device is a removable hard disk or a U disk, the removable hard disk or the U disk accesses the PCH.
In an actual implementation process, the operating system may be pre-installed in a storage medium in a server in various ways, and the specific way may be: the server downloads the image file of the operating system through the network, and then installs the operating system in a storage medium in the server using the image file. In addition, the operating system may also be preinstalled in the removable storage device in various ways, and the specific way may be: firstly, accessing a mobile storage device into a server, then downloading the image file of the operating system by the server through a network, and then installing the operating system in the mobile storage device by using the image file; or, the operating system is installed in a removable storage device on other equipment, and then the removable storage device is accessed to a server; this is not limited in this application.
Based on this, the diagnostic method of the server according to the embodiment of the present application is shown in fig. 2, and includes the following steps:
step S101, starting an operating system, and starting a diagnostic tool integrated in the operating system after the operating system is started;
when the operating system is preinstalled in the removable storage device of the access server and the removable storage device is an SD memory card accessed to the BMC, the method for starting the operating system in step S101 may specifically be: after the server is powered On and started, the BIOS (Basic Input Output System) is started and operated, the BIOS firstly enters a POST (Power On Self Test) stage, at the moment, the BIOS sends a command for starting the virtual hard disk to the BMC, and the BMC virtualizes the SD memory card into the virtual hard disk after receiving the command; subsequently, the BIOS enters a boot stage, and after detecting an instruction to boot from the virtual hard disk, the BIOS boots the operating system from the SD memory card as the virtual hard disk. The instruction for starting the virtual hard disk can be generated in a mode of selection in the BIOS interface by a user or in a mode of key pressing by the user.
When the operating system is preinstalled in the removable storage device of the access server, and the removable storage device is a removable hard disk or a usb disk that accesses the PCH, the method for starting the operating system in step S101 may specifically be: the user selects to start from the mobile hard disk or the U disk in the BIOS interface, and then the BIOS starts the operating system from the mobile hard disk or the U disk.
Step S102, after the diagnosis tool is started, identifying the components in the in-place state in the server, and displaying the components through an interface so as to provide the components for a user to select;
after the diagnostic tool is started, the diagnostic function is provided in the form of a web page. In step S102, after components included in the server in the on-position state are identified, the components are displayed in the web page. Wherein the component in the in-place state is a component that can be identified. A component refers to a hardware component in a server, such as a CPU, memory, hard disk, fan, BMC, PCH, etc.
In addition, after a component in the server is changed, for example, a new component is inserted into the server or a component is pulled out from the server, the user may click a button for refreshing the server in the web page, and at this time, the component in the on-position state included in the server is re-identified and displayed through the web page.
Step S103, for the designated component selected by the user, diagnosing whether the state of the designated component is normal or not, and displaying the diagnosis result in the interface.
After a user selects a component on a web page that requires a diagnosis (referred to as a designated component), the diagnostic tool diagnoses the designated component.
Preferably, the diagnostic tool diagnoses whether the state of the designated component is normal through other components related to the designated component, so as to realize linkage detection of the components.
For example, when the component is designated as a fan, whether the state of the fan is normal is diagnosed by the CPU associated with the fan. If it is assumed that there are 6 fans when there are 2 CPUs in the server under normal conditions, and if there are 2 CPUs and only 4 fans, the abnormal state of the fans and the cause of the abnormal state are displayed.
Or, when the designated component is the CPU, whether the state of the CPU is normal or not is diagnosed through a memory related to the CPU. If it is assumed that each CPU in the server needs a corresponding memory under normal conditions, and if 2 CPUs are detected and one of the CPUs does not have a corresponding memory, the CPU state abnormality and the cause of the abnormality are displayed.
In the above method, the diagnostic result in step S103 is also saved in the form of a log in a removable hard disk or a usb disk that accesses the PCH.
In the method of the foregoing embodiment of the present application, a diagnostic tool integrated in an operating system may identify a component in an in-place state included in a server, and display the component through an interface to provide the component for a user to select, and after the user selects a specific component, the user may diagnose whether the state of the specific component is normal, and display a diagnosis result in the interface. Thereby, the diagnosis of the server is realized.
In addition, when the designated component selected by the user is diagnosed, the designated component can be diagnosed through other components related to the designated component, and the diagnosis result is displayed in the interface, so that when the designated component in the server is diagnosed, the influence of other components on the designated component is considered, and the linkage detection of the components is realized.
In addition, when the components in the server are changed, the changed components can be directly identified and displayed, and the server is more convenient and faster to use.
Corresponding to the embodiment of the diagnosis method of the server, the application also provides an embodiment of a diagnosis device of the server.
