Technical Field
The invention relates to a method for detecting battery activity, belongs to the field of safety protection of a storage system, and particularly relates to a method and a system for detecting battery activity of a standby power supply pack.
Background
The spare power supply group is called BBU for short, and is usually a nickel-cadmium battery, a nickel-metal cyanide battery or a lithium battery. The storage system plays an important safety protection role, and can recover the site after abnormal power failure of a power supply, namely, system configuration information before power failure and data in a write cache can fall into a system disk after power failure. The backup power pack cannot be missing and requires periodic checks to ensure the corresponding capacity, usually replacing the battery every two years, during which time the battery also requires constant observation to ensure that it can last for a predetermined time.
The requirement that the backup power packs require periodic adjustment and maintenance over long periods of use due to their natural "life" loss, leads to a number of tracking and maintenance difficulties, especially when one administrator maintains multiple storage systems or the equipment is maintained by other system administrators. Therefore, if the standby power supply group has a problem in the system, the standby power supply group cannot normally work after the system is abnormally powered off, so that the normal standby power supply process of the system is affected.
For example, chinese patent (application publication No. CN107222023A) discloses "a backup battery power supply circuit, a battery status monitoring and calibration method for a backup battery", the backup battery power supply circuit includes: the first gating circuit and the second gating circuit are started in a normal state, and the PSU supplies power to the whole storage system and the fan; when the PSU is detected to be in fault, the whole storage system controls to start a second channel of the first gating circuit and a first channel of the second gating circuit, and the BBU supplies power to the whole storage system and the fan. In a normal state, the PSU supplies power to the whole storage system and the fan, and when the PSU is detected to be in fault, the BBU supplies power to the whole storage system and the fan, so that the power redundancy design during the power supply of the whole storage system is realized, and when the PSU is in fault, the BBU is replaced to provide backup power for the whole storage system to finish the backup of data. Although the battery state monitoring and calibrating method of the standby battery can improve the safety of the whole storage system, the method cannot realize the activity monitoring of the BBU, so that the danger of the failure of the whole storage system caused by BBU loss still exists.
