Description

A server startup sequence control method, system, terminal and storage medium

technical field

The present invention relates to the technical field of servers, in particular to a server startup sequence control method, system, terminal and storage medium.

Background technique

With the development of new technologies such as cloud computing and big data, people use more and more servers and storage. The same data center room generally involves many servers and storage. For storage, it cannot provide external application services independently. It must be connected to the server through optical fiber or network cable, and then the storage disk can be mounted under the server operating system before it can be used. Now a server is generally connected to multiple storages, and one storage is also mapped to multiple servers. At the same time, each server will mount multiple storage disks, and many applications under the operating system will rely on these storage disks Data read and write operations are performed. If the storage disk is not mounted normally after the server starts and enters the system normally, the corresponding application software will run and report an error, business downtime, and serious data loss may occur.

There are two situations in which the storage disk is not normally mounted to the system. One is that the storage fails to start normally; the other is that the storage starts slower than the server, and after the server's operating system is started, it will not restart. The command to automatically mount the storage disk, at this time, there will be a phenomenon that the storage disk is not mounted normally.

Generally speaking, in order to avoid the second abnormal situation mentioned above, the computer room administrator starts the storage first, and then logs in to the storage management interface to confirm that the storage starts normally, and then manually starts the front-end server. In this process, the administrator needs to wait for the device to start completely, which is a waste of time. However, if the server and storage are restarted at the same time due to the unexpected power failure of the computer room and then the power is restored, it may happen that the storage disk cannot be properly mounted to the operating system due to the fact that the storage is slower than the server to start up. For different types of storage, and the hardware configuration of the storage is different, its startup time is uncertain. So there is no way to set the exact interval to start the server to avoid this.

In order to make those skilled in the art better understand the technical solutions of the present invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described The embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present invention, but not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by persons of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

FIG. 1 is a schematic flowchart of a method according to an embodiment of the present invention. Wherein, the executive body of FIG. 1 may be a server startup sequence control system.

As shown in Figure 1, the method 100 includes:

Step 110, verifying that the control terminal can establish a communication connection with the BMC network port, the service network port and the storage management network port of the server to be started;

Step 120, setting in the BIOS the operating system power-on self-starting option of the server to be started is turned off and the storage device power-on self-starting option is turned on;

Step 130, regularly send the establishment communication request to the server BMC network port, the service network port and the storage management network port, and obtain the communication status with the BMC network port, the service network port and the storage management network port of the server to be started;

Step 140, if the communication state is that the connection to both the BMC network port and the storage management network port is successful, use the BMC bottom layer ipmitool command to start the operating system of the server to be started.

In order to facilitate the understanding of the present invention, the following describes the server startup sequence control method provided by the present invention based on the principle of the server startup sequence control method of the present invention and the process of controlling the server startup sequence in the embodiment.

Specifically, the server startup sequence control method includes:

S1. Verify that the control terminal can establish a communication connection with the BMC network port, the service network port and the storage management network port of the server to be started.

Make sure that the management machine can communicate with the server BMC network port, server service network port, and storage management network port normally. If the server to be started is already in the management list of the management machine, there is no need to verify it every time (periodic verification can be performed according to the preset verification period). If the server to be started is newly added to the management list, the verification method as follows:

After the server to be started is completed after power-on and startup, it sends a communication establishment request to the BMC network port, service network port, and storage management network port in the starting state according to the pre-stored IP address. Obtain the communication supervision information. If a communication connection is successfully established with the BMC network port, service network port, and storage management network port, the verification is passed.

S2. In the BIOS, set the power-on self-starting option of the operating system of the server to be started to be off and the storage device power-on self-starting option to be turned on.

Turn off the power-on auto-start option of the server in the BIOS, and the storage needs to enable power-on auto-start.

S3. Periodically send a communication establishment request to the BMC network port, service network port, and storage management network port of the server, and obtain the communication status with the BMC network port, service network port, and storage management network port of the server to be started.

Configure a timed task on the management machine, write a command with a specified time or interval, and let the system automatically execute the script program according to the timed plan. The script program will periodically query the status of the three network ports of the server BMC port, server service port, and storage management port in the background according to the set query time interval.

Since the BMC network port of the server is powered on and starts automatically, it has nothing to do with whether the server is turned on or not. Therefore, as long as the server is not powered on, the BMC port can be pinged all the time. The service network port of the server is related to the operating system, only after the operating system is started. Can be pinged. The storage management network port can be pinged only after the storage is started normally, and cannot be connected when the storage is shut down or powered off.

The possible communication states are shown in the following table (in Table 1, the default input power for the server and storage is the same circuit. If the input power is different, the corresponding operating states of the server and storage can also be inferred):

Table 1

S4. If the communication state is that the connection to both the BMC network port and the storage management network port is successful, use the BMC bottom layer ipmitool command to start the operating system of the server to be started. If the communication status is that the service network port is successfully connected but the storage management network port fails, a storage startup error alarm is generated; if the communication status is that the BMC network port connection fails but the service network port or storage management network port is successfully connected, the BMC network port is generated Fault alarm.

There are the following corresponding processing methods for different communication states in Table 1:

When the status codes are "0" and "4", that is, when both the server and the storage are shut down, they will wait for the storage to start up. After monitoring the connection of the storage management port, start the server through the underlying BMC ipmitool command.

When the status codes are "2" and "6", that is, when the server is turned on and the storage is turned off, because the server system needs to rely on the storage disk to run, it is impossible for this situation to occur during normal operation, and this situation will be judged as abnormal storage. , the server will not be restarted through the BMC, and a storage alarm will be sent directly to the administrator, requiring the administrator to check the storage status.

When the status code is "1", "2", "3", that is, the BMC port is blocked, but the server service port or storage management port can be connected, indicating that the cabinet is not powered off, and the BMC port is normally only when the server is powered off. Therefore, it is determined that the server BMC port is faulty, and the server BMC port alarm will be sent directly to the administrator, and the administrator needs to check the server BMC network.

The communication verification unit 210 is configured to verify that the control terminal can establish a communication connection with the BMC network port, the service network port and the storage management network port of the server to be started;
