Further describe below in conjunction with the concrete course of work of one embodiment of the invention this device:
Fig. 2 is a SAS hard disk output state information processing method process flow diagram of the present invention, and is as shown in Figure 2, and said information processing method comprises the steps:
Step 200:SAS hard disk detection module periodically detects server hard disc backboard groove position and has or not hard disk to insert.
Said hard disk detects; Be to confirm according to the variation of the physical interface output signal level that inserts hard disk backboard by MCU; Promptly represent to have or not hard disk to insert with the height of signal level; Detected this level of MCU was a high level when no hard disk inserted, and detected this level of MCU is a low level when having hard disk to insert, and system was stored in this testing result in the storer of MCU and called for other functional modules in the subsequent processing steps this moment.The height of signal level was relevant with the virtual condition of hard disk when hard disk inserted, and irrelevant with SGPIO, GPO and READY_LED interface shape.
Said functional module is meant the program segment of carrying out through MCU with specific function.
Step 201: whether the SAS hard disk of judging server hard disc backboard groove position is on the throne, if judging this groove position does not have hard disk, then returns step 200; If judge the hard disk that there is new insertion this groove position, then execution in step 202.
Whether concrete grammar on the throne is the said SAS hard disk of judging certain groove position: the MCU on the hard disk backboard detects the incoming signal level of corresponding hard disk testing circuit; If detected signal is a high level; Explain that this groove position does not have hard disk; If detected signal is a low level, prove that there is hard disk this groove position, then execution in step 202.
Step 202:MCU is in the process of the level that periodically reads testing circuit, and SGPIO and GPO interface are all exported whether information on the throne of hard disk, and MCU leaves hard disk information on the throne come.
Said hard disk information on the throne is meant the specific bit sequence that the SAS hard disk is exported.This information is that subsequent step judges that which kind of mode server system uses transmit the Back ground Information of disk state.
Step 203: according to the SAS hard disk information on the throne that above-mentioned steps obtains, disk state output signal judge module judges that the SAS hard disk controller of current server system adopts any mode in three kinds of modes to export disk state information.
Said three kinds of modes are meant that output interface is SGPIO, GPO, READY_LED aspect.
Concrete determination methods is: the detected hard disk of step 201 information on the throne is compared with the contained information of ACTIVE signal that MCU reads the GPO interface of the information on the throne of SGPIO interface, hard disk on the throne respectively; If testing result is to adopt the SGPIO interface, then execution in step 204; If the GPO interface transmits disk state, then execution in step 205; If use the READY_LED signal of hard disk self, then execution in step 206.
Saidly judge whether to be to use the SGPIO interface, its deterministic process is: the information on the throne that will read the SGPIO interface through the detected hard disk of step 201 information on the throne and MCU relatively conforms to and explains that then this server system uses the SGPIO interface to transmit disk state.
Saidly judge whether to be to use the GPO interface; Its process is: the ACTIVE signal level that reads the GPO interface output of the corresponding SAS controller of detected on the throne hard disk according to hard disk information on the throne; Become low level like this level by the high level step-down, explain that then current system uses the GPO interface to transmit disk state.Wherein, on the hard disk backboard He on the server master board hardware handles circuit is being arranged all, if when guaranteeing not use this GPO interface, ACITVE and FAULT signal level can not change, and are normal height.
The said ACTIVE state that whether is to use the READY_LED signaling interface to show hard disk is if detect the READY_LED signal then judge that the SAS hard disk is to use the READY_LED signaling interface to transmit work state information.But in this case, native system is no longer supported the demonstration of hard disk FAULT state.
Step 204: carry out the SGPIO protocol analysis, obtain disk state information, execution in step 207 then.
Said SGPIO protocol analysis is the interface standard according to the SFF8485 standard code, i.e. the SGPIO interface; According to the electric signal and the data communication mode of this interface of stipulating in the standard, support the signal condition information separated of SAS hard disk controller (the comprising the RAID card) output of SGPIO interface to come out all, concrete grammar is: the status information that once can send 4 hard disks owing to SAS controller in the embodiment of the invention; Adopt the mode of serial communication; Needing four data lines, is respectively that data go out (SDATAOUT), and data are gone into (SDATAIN); Clock (SCLK) and frame head (SLOAD); Each hard disk all has LOCATE, ACTIVE and three states of FAULT, and wherein ACTIVE and FAULT state can show as required, so frame data are 12 bits.Here be to adopt software mode on the MCU of hard disk backboard, to realize obtaining from this physical interface the input signal of correct SAS controller, this module is accomplished this function, the information stores that obtains is prepared against other module invokes.
The committed step of SGPIO protocol analysis is following:
The perhaps mode of signal sampling is interrupted in a, utilization; Negative edge sampling SLOAD and SDATAIN signal at the SCLK signal if these SLOAD data that sampling obtains are 0, then increase company's 0 number of SLOAD data; Polishing one frame data promptly allow to exist at most 12 companies 0.
B, if the SLOAD data that obtain in SCLK signal negative edge sampling are 1, and SLOAD data subsequently connect 0 number and surpass 5, then represent first mode bit output, just 12 bit start bits of a frame that next bit is a hard disk; If the SLOAD data that obtain in the sampling of SCLK signal negative edge are 1, but the number of the company 0 of SLOAD data is no more than 5, explains that then next bit is not a start bit, so abandon this partial data.
C, first mode bit output signal of the hard disk of step b gained is confirmed as the start signal that institute supports 4 disk state information of demonstration, successively the disk state signal is sent into display module by MCU and carry out state and indicate.
Mention among above-mentioned steps a~step c 0 for logical zero, i.e. low level; 1 is logical one, i.e. high level.
Step 205: receive the GPO signal line interface information analysis of going forward side by side, obtain disk state information, execution in step 207 then.
Said GPO interface is that the SAS controller is represented a kind of disk state with a signal wire, and for example, the FAULT of a hard disk and ACTIVE two states need to use two signal line.Low level is a significant level, representes to represent when hard disk ACTIVE and FAULT fault, level are high that hard disk does not have FAULT and movable when promptly level is low.MCU only need read the signal level on this interface, just can know the status information of this hard disk, implements fairly simplely, promptly utilizes the read functions of the IO interface of MCU.
Step 206: system receives SAS hard disk READY_LED signal, and signal is sent to display module, and promptly execution in step 207.
Step 207: the SGPIO signal that the warp of reception and step display 204 outputs is resolved is indicated LOCATE, ACTIVE, the FAULT state of hard disk; Receive LOCATE, ACTIVE, the FAULT state of the GPO signal indication hard disk of also step display 205 outputs; Receive and show the ACTIVE state of READY_LED signal indication SAS hard disk.
The SAS hard disk generally all supports an electric signal to export the ACTIVE state that shows this hard disk, and for example, in the hard disk of Seagate, this signal low level representes that hard disk is not visited, and promptly hard disk is inactive, and high level is represented ACTIVE.In the present embodiment, system is connected to this signal on the processor, and processor just can directly obtain the ACTIVE state of hard disk through this signal of sampling like this.Because this signal is to change through level to come expression information, so do not need the complex processing process.
In the above disk state indicating device of the present invention and the information processing method, each module all realizes through software, promptly carries out the program with specific function through MCU and realizes.
Disk state indicating module of the present invention not only can be indicated the disk state that is articulated on the server master board SAS controller; And also can indicate the disk state that on Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disc (RAID) card, articulates, as long as this RAID card is supported a kind of in SGPIO or the GPO output; If this RAID card is not supported above two kinds, then also can show the ACTIVE state of hard disk with the system that this method realized.Said RAID is a kind of redundant array that is made up of the polylith hard disk, although RAID comprises the polylith hard disk, under operating system as one independently large storage facilities occur.
External SAS hard disk RAID card can articulate that the SAS hard disk is realized the RAID function and the cpu resource that do not take server host basically.It generally can support SGPIO, GPO interface to export disk state.The RAID card that has is also supported I 2The C bus promptly can be expanded I 2C interface only needs RAID card corresponding physical interface is connected to through cable on the connector of server corresponding interface, and native system just can obtain the state of corresponding hard disk through the electric signal of fetch interface.This mode with the interface electric signals that reads server master board SAS controller is the same.Even because the user uses the SAS signal controller on RAID and the mainboard simultaneously, native system also can support to insert simultaneously the input of two-way disk state electric signal, the two is not mutually exclusive.SAS controller chip on the external RAID card that the front has been mentioned also supports to use I 2C interface output disk state, this interface has only two signal line, also supports multihost operation.
The above is merely preferred embodiment of the present invention, is not to be used to limit protection scope of the present invention.
