Technical field
The present invention relates to Computer System Design field and integrated circuit (IC) design technical field, be specifically related to a kind of automatic test approach of ME FW online updating stability.
Background technology
Along with the develop rapidly of computer technology and integrated circuit technique, the construction of all kinds of server room is also in sustainable growth, and the management of machine room power consumption and control seem more and more important.Management and operation maintenance personnel are generally the power consumption information being obtained whole machine cabinet or separate nodes by management software, different strategies can be set by instruction simultaneously, control the power consumption number of rack, and the basis of this all management function just comes from Intel ME technology, Intel ME full name is Intel Management Engine, can the various health status of monitoring system, particularly to monitoring and the management of system power dissipation.
Intel ME is the basis of management function, only has the stability on basis to be protected, the effect of management function competence exertion.ME FW is because it is for the importance of server core management, therefore its stable online updating is related to the stability of whole system, at present, not the method for testing of standard does not ensure the stability of the online updating of ME, need according to different vendor's product should be used for formulate different method of testings.Therefore, method of testing is complicated, can not carry out batch testing, thus causes testing efficiency low, is difficult to the stability ensureing ME online updating.
Therefore, for the defect that above-mentioned prior art exists, be necessary to develop research in fact, to provide a kind of scheme, make method of testing simple and convenient, also can test in batches, effectively improve testing efficiency, simultaneously the stability of effective guarantee ME online updating.
Summary of the invention
For solving the problem, the object of the present invention is to provide a kind of automatic test approach of ME FW online updating stability, its method of testing is simple and convenient, also can test in batches, effectively improve testing efficiency, simultaneously the stability of effective guarantee ME online updating.
For achieving the above object, technical scheme of the present invention is:
An automatic test approach for ME FW online updating stability, comprises the steps:
S10: operative norm IPMI detection script design;
S11: perform online ME FW and refresh script formulation, complete the update action of ME FW;
S12: carry out AC power supplies switching on and shutting down tool design, after having upgraded ME FW, if need ME to come into force, need to cut off AC power supplies, then the ME that powers on just can come into force.
Further, in step slo, by being with introversive tested platform to send IPMI order, thus the feedback of status of ME is obtained, and the correctness of testing result; If ME state is active, then show to upgrade normally, if be other states, then represent that ME FW upgrades unstable, carry out alarm.
Further, in step slo, IPMI order is utilized to obtain ME current state, and the correctness of testing result, if state is correct, perform update action next time, upgraded rear shutdown, AC switching on and shutting down instrument cuts off AC power supplies, then reopen AC power supplies, system electrification, repeats above step, the successful stability of test ME online updating.
The automatic test approach of ME FW online updating stability of the present invention tests the stability of current platform ME FW online updating automatically, guarantee that ME FW is by online updating success, ME is in normal work active state, do not enter recovery state, this online updating stability test of ME has very important meaning for the stability of safeguards system function; Can realize the stability of the ME online updating of the tested platform of batch testing, method is simply efficient, without the need to artificially on duty, efficiently solve the problem of ME online updating stability, improves system stability.
Term " first ", " second " etc. in instructions of the present invention and claims and above-mentioned accompanying drawing are for distinguishing similar object, and need not be used for describing specific order or precedence.Should be appreciated that the term used like this can exchange in the appropriate case, this is only describe in embodiments of the invention the differentiation mode that the object of same alike result adopts when describing.In addition, term " comprises " and " having " and their any distortion, intention is to cover not exclusive comprising, to comprise the process of a series of unit, method, system, product or equipment being not necessarily limited to those unit, but can comprise clearly do not list or for intrinsic other unit of these processes, method, product or equipment.
Below be described in detail respectively.
With reference to shown in Fig. 1, the automatic test approach of a kind of ME FW of the present invention online updating stability, comprises the steps:
S10: operative norm IPMI detection script design
By being with introversive tested platform to send IPMI order, thus obtain the feedback of status of ME, and the correctness of testing result.If ME state is active(affective state), then show to upgrade normally, if be other states, then represent that ME FW upgrades unstable, carry out alarm;
S11: perform online ME FW and refresh script formulation
Online ME FW refreshes the update action that script formulation mainly completes ME FW;
S12: carry out AC power supplies switching on and shutting down tool design
After having upgraded ME FW, if need ME to come into force, need to cut off AC power supplies, then power on and just can come into force.The test environment of tested platform can be strengthened by AC power supplies switching on and shutting down instrument, improve the intensity of ME FW refresh test stability.
The automatic test approach of ME FW online updating stability of the present invention, specifically utilize IPMI order, obtain ME current state, and the correctness of testing result, if state is correct, perform update action next time, upgraded rear shutdown, AC switching on and shutting down instrument cuts off AC power supplies, then reopen AC power supplies, system electrification, repeats above step, the successful stability of test ME online updating.
The automatic test approach of ME FW online updating stability of the present invention tests the stability of current platform ME FW online updating automatically, guarantee that ME FW is by online updating success, ME is in normal work active state, do not enter recovery state, this online updating stability test of ME has very important meaning for the stability of safeguards system function.Can realize the stability of the ME online updating of the tested platform of batch testing, method is simply efficient, without the need to artificially on duty, efficiently solve the problem of ME online updating stability, improves system stability.
