Abstract

The invention provides a simple power consumption assessment method of a blade server. According to most blade servers, connectors are used for achieving butt joint of all composing modules. Different from a method of measuring and assessing AC ends and DC ends of traditional servers, the characteristic that a grouped measuring mode is combined with the operation mode of sharing a power source by blade servers is utilized, grouped measuring and average measuring are combined to conveniently carry out project power consumption quick assessment, and the data requirement of user machine room matched construction is better met.

Description

A kind of easy power consumption assessment method of blade server

Technical field

The present invention relates to computer server technical field, specifically a kind of easy power consumption assessment method of blade server.

Background technology

The relative traditional server product of blade server deployment density has had very big raising, but its power consumption assessment is because modular design mode causes difficulty especially, but power consumption assessment is the link of user's necessity from rack-mount server to blade server transient process, the accurate Calculation mode of manufacturer server need to be welded power taking test on blade backboard and blade mainboard, more complicated cannot provide fast assessment result in the time of user's various configurations.

Summary of the invention

The object of this invention is to provide a kind of easy power consumption assessment method of blade server.

The object of the invention is to realize in the following manner, based on blade server feature, blade server power consumption is divided into mainframe box power consumption and blade power consumption two parts, and two parts maximum variable is separately the calculating pressure of system radiating fan and blade, and testing procedure is as follows:

1) configuring after server according to user's request, first by all blade shutdown, now all modules of mainframe box are still on-stream, then use blade administration module that system radiating fan is separately positioned under maximum and minimum speed or by user's demand other rotating speeds can be set, hold power analyzer to read AC input power consumption record by AC respectively, suggestion is tested respectively 3 groups and is averaged, and obtains the power consumption demand of mainframe box under different rotation speeds of the fan;

2) blade is inserted in mainframe box, taking 5 blades as example, under the rotation speed of the fan arranging respectively, apply different pressures load to blade in above-mentioned mainframe box test process, obtain the lower power supply AC end data of 5 cutter configuration, then close a cutter, do again above-mentioned action and obtain the lower power supply AC end data of 4 cutter configuration, continue to close blade and obtain successively 3 cuttves, the lower power supply AC end data of 2 cutter configuration;

3) deduct 4 cutter configurations with 5 cutter configurations and obtain one group of single blade power consumption data, deduct 3 cutter configurations with 4 cuttves and obtain one group of single blade power consumption data, deduct 2 cutter configurations with 3 cutter configurations and obtain one group of single blade power consumption data, three groups of data are averaged, estimate the power consumption data of single blade in different pressures situation;

4) by mainframe box the power consumption demand under different rotation speeds of the fan with coordinate with the power consumption data of single blade in different pressures situation according to user's request configuration knife number, draw the power consumption situation of system in different rotation speeds of the fan and different blade pressure situation, and data are comparatively accurately objective, are applicable to domestic consumer's machine room assessing electric power and use.

The invention has the beneficial effects as follows: blade server adopts connector to carry out the docking of all composition modules mostly, being different from traditional server can adopt AC, DC end to measure the method for assessment, utilize grouping measurement pattern to be undertaken by grouping and the average mode combining that measures in conjunction with the operating mode feature of blade server common source, carry out easily project power consumption rapid evaluation, improve the demand data of user's machine room auxiliary construction.

Brief description of the drawings

Fig. 1 is a kind of easy power consumption assessment method figure of blade server.

Embodiment

With reference to Figure of description, method of the present invention is described in detail below.

A kind of easy power consumption assessment method of blade server, based on blade server feature, blade server power consumption is divided into mainframe box power consumption and blade power consumption two parts, and two parts maximum variable is separately the calculating pressure of system radiating fan and blade, and testing procedure is as follows:

Embodiment

Calculate the maximum system power consumption of 14 blade systems:

1, variable 2 calculates, all calculating blade shutdown, and it is 4 grades (the highest) that mainframe box radiating fan rotation speed is set, and measures AC end input power consumption and averages for 3 times, obtains P _box;

2, variable 1 calculates, and opens 5 and calculates blade, and keeping mainframe box radiating fan rotation speed is 4 grades (the highest), and it is 100% that all calculating blade pressure are set, and measures AC end input power consumption and averages for 3 times, obtains P _blade5, close one and calculate blade repeated test, obtain successively the AC input power consumption P under 4 cuttves, 3 cuttves and 2 cuttves _blade4,p _blade3,p _blade2, the power consumption P of single blade _blade=((P _blade5-P _blade4)+(P _blade4-P _blade3)+(P _blade3-P _blade2))/3;

3, computing system power consumption is as follows, P _system=P _box+ 14*P _blade, calculate for convenience of total deployment amount, blade power consumption can be calculated to the compound power consumption P of hilted broadsword according to rack-mount server _{blade_mix}, P _{blade_mix}=P _blade+ P _box/ 14;

If 4 users need to dispose 1000 blade servers, power consumption discreet value is 1000* P _{blade_mix}.

Except the technical characterictic described in instructions, be the known technology of those skilled in the art.
