Detailed Description
For the purpose of making the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings, and it is apparent that the described embodiments are some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be made by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the invention without making any inventive effort, are intended to be within the scope of the invention.
With the development of the server, a HOST-BOX compound server is gradually created, and the HOST-BOX compound server is wholly divided into two parts, wherein one part is a HOST end, namely a server HOST, and the other part is a BOX end, namely a PCIE switch HOST. A hard disk or a display card can be installed in the BOX end and connected to the HOST end re-timer card by using a cable, and then the device of the BOX end can be provided for the HOST end to use. However, the HOST-BOX compound machine type has requirements on the power-on start-up of the BOX end and the HOST end, and the power-on start-up of the HOST end is required to be performed firstly. If the HOST terminal is started before the BOX terminal, the HOST terminal cannot scan the BOX terminal equipment, and the BOX terminal equipment is not available.
The startup state of the server after power-off is controlled by the Chassis strategy of the BMC (Baseboard Management Controller ). The passis strategy can be divided into three types previous, always-on, always-off. The previous strategy is a state of the server before power failure, and the server can be restored to the state before power failure after power supply is restored; the always-on strategy is that the server is in a power-on state or a power-off state before power failure, and the server is changed into the power-on state after power restoration; the always-off strategy is that the server is in a power-on state or a power-off state before power failure, and the server is in the power-off state after power restoration and is not automatically started.
For the compound model server, the passis policy control of the BMC can not take effect on the HOST end server any more, otherwise, the HOST end is started before the BOX end, so that the HOST end cannot scan the BOX end equipment, and the BOX end equipment is not available. For the compound model, the HOST side BMC determines that the BOX is connected by determining that the re-timer card of the HOST side is in place and the cable is in place. The HOST terminal BMC monitors the starting state of the BOX terminal through the I2C link, and when the BOX terminal is monitored to be in the shutdown state, the BMC controls the HOST terminal to keep the shutdown state and does not respond to any starting instruction sent externally; when the BOX terminal is detected to be in a starting state, the BMC controls HOST to start or receives an external starting instruction to start;
The related method is mature for the power-on control test method of the non-composite model server, and is applied to research and development tests. However, there is no clear and mature method for power-on control verification of the compound machine type server.
In order to overcome the defects of the related method, the invention provides a server power-on test method, and fig. 1 is a schematic flow chart of the server power-on test method provided by the invention. Referring to fig. 1, the server power-on method provided by the present invention may include:
step 110, testing a HOST end and a BOX end of a target server based on a power-on sequence between the HOST end and the BOX end of the target server, and determining a first test result of the target server, wherein the target server is a compound server comprising the HOST end and the BOX end;
step 120, controlling the target server to disconnect the HOST end from the BOX end, testing the HOST end, and determining a second test result of the target server;
and step 130, determining a power-on result of the target server based on the first test result and the second test result.
The execution subject of the server power-on test method provided by the invention can be electronic equipment, a component in the electronic equipment, an integrated circuit or a chip. The electronic device may be a mobile electronic device or a non-mobile electronic device. By way of example, the mobile electronic device may be a cell phone, tablet, notebook, palmtop, ultra-mobile personal computer (ultra-mobile personal computer, UMPC), netbook or personal digital assistant (personal digital assistant, PDA), etc., and the non-mobile electronic device may be a server, network attached storage (Network Attached Storage, NAS) or personal computer (personal computer, PC), etc., the invention is not particularly limited.
The technical scheme of the invention is described in detail below by taking a computer to execute the server power-on test method provided by the invention as an example.
In step 110, based on the power-on sequence between the HOST end of the target server and the BOX end of the target server, the HOST end of the target server and the BOX end of the target server are tested, and a first test result of the target server is determined.
The HOST-BOX composite server is integrally divided into two parts, wherein one part is a HOST end, namely a server HOST, and the other part is a BOX end, namely a PCIE switch HOST. A hard disk or a display card can be installed in the BOX end and connected to the HOST end re-timer card by using a cable, so that equipment of the BOX end is provided for the HOST end to use.
The HOST-BOX compound server has requirements on the power-on start-up of the BOX end and the HOST end, and the power-on start-up of the BOX end is needed first, and then the power-on start-up of the HOST end is needed. If the HOST terminal is started before the BOX terminal, the HOST terminal cannot scan the BOX terminal equipment, and the BOX terminal equipment is not available. Therefore, the power-on sequence between the HOST end of the target server and the BOX end of the target server is a power-on sequence of powering on the BOX end of the target server first and then powering on the HOST end of the target server.
And respectively testing the HOST end of the target server and the BOX end of the target server in the power-on sequence between the HOST end of the target server and the BOX end of the target server, and determining a first test result of the target server.
The first test result of the target server comprises a test result of the HOST end of the target server and a test result of the BOX end of the target server.
Optionally, testing is performed on the HOST end of the target server and the BOX end of the target server, and the first test result of the target server is determined to be the test passing at the HOST end of the target server and the BOX end of the target server; and when the HOST end or the BOX end of the target server fails to pass the test, determining that the first test result of the target server is that the test fails.
In step 120, the target server is controlled to disconnect the HOST from the BOX end, so that the target server only includes the HOST end, and the HOST end is tested to determine a second test result of the target server.
The HOST-BOX composite server is integrally divided into two parts, wherein one part is a HOST end, namely a server HOST, and the other part is a BOX end, namely a PCIE switch HOST. The BOX end is connected to the HOST end re-timer card by using a cable, and can be based on the card slot corresponding to the re-timer card of the HOST end disabled, and power supply to the BOX end is closed, so that the HOST end and the BOX end of the target server are disconnected.
It will be appreciated that after controlling the target server to disconnect the HOST side from the BOX side, the target server may be considered as a non-compound server containing only the HOST side. That is, after the BOX end is disconnected, the target server may be regarded as a composite server to be converted into a non-composite server. After the BOX end is disconnected, the test of the state of the target server being the non-compound server can be realized.
After the control target server disconnects the HOST end from the BOX end, the HOST end is tested, and a testing method for the non-composite server in the related method can be used for realizing a testing process of the HOST end. For example, the HOST terminal is powered on for a plurality of times, and whether the corresponding power-on strategy is set or not is monitored after the HOST terminal is powered on.
And after testing the HOST end, determining a second test result of the target server. The second test result may include a HOST test passing and a HOST test failing.
In step 130, after determining a first test result of testing between the HOST end and the BOX end and a second test result of testing the HOST end after the BOX end is disconnected, a power-on test result of the target server is determined based on the obtained first test result and the second test result.
The method comprises the steps of determining that a first test result of a target server is test passing at an HOST end of the target server and a BOX end of the target server; and when the HOST end or the BOX end of the target server fails to pass the test, determining that the first test result of the target server is that the test fails. After the BOX end of the target server is disconnected, the HOST end is tested, and the determined second test result may include that the HOST end test passes and that the HOST end test fails.
After the first test result and the second test result are obtained, if the first test result and the second test result are both test passing, the power-on test result of the target server can be determined to be test passing. And when the first test result and the second test result contain that the test fails, determining that the power-on test result of the target server fails.
According to the server power-on test method provided by the embodiment of the invention, the HOST end and the BOX end of the target server are tested through the power-on sequence between the HOST end and the BOX end of the target server, so that the automatic test process of the composite server is realized, and the test efficiency of the composite machine type is improved. Meanwhile, the target server is controlled to disconnect the HOST end from the BOX end, the HOST end is tested, and after the BOX end is disconnected, the test of the target server can be regarded as the test of a non-composite model, so that the test process of multiple model states of the target server is realized.
In one embodiment, testing a HOST end of a target server and a BOX end of the target server based on a power-on sequence between the HOST end and the BOX end, includes: controlling the BOX end to be electrified, determining whether the BOX end enters a starting state after being electrified, and testing the BOX end; and testing the HOST terminal based on the on-off state of the BOX terminal.
The specific process for testing the HOST end and the BOX end in the power-on sequence between the HOST end of the target server and the target server is as follows: and controlling the BOX end to be electrified, and controlling the BOX end to be started based on an electrifying strategy by the BMC of the BOX end after the BOX end is electrified, so that the starting process of the BOX end is completed. After the BOX end is controlled to be powered on, based on the fact that whether the BOX end enters a starting state after being powered on or not is determined, the BOX end is tested, and whether starting is successfully started or not after the BOX end is powered on is tested.
After the test of the BOX end is completed, the HOST end is tested based on the on-off state of the BOX end. The HOST-BOX compound server has requirements on the power-on start-up of the BOX end and the HOST end, and the power-on start-up of the BOX end is needed first, and then the power-on start-up of the HOST end is needed.
Therefore, based on the on-off state of the control BOX end, the test on the HOST end may be: and controlling the BOX end to be powered off, and testing whether the HOST end is powered on or not after the BOX end is powered off.
According to the server power-on test method provided by the embodiment of the invention, the test process of the BOX end is realized by controlling the BOX end to power on and determining whether the BOX end enters the starting state after being powered on, and the HOST end is tested by controlling the starting state of the BOX end, so that the test process of the HOST end is realized.
In one embodiment, based on controlling the on-off state of the BOX end, testing the HOST end includes: sending a shutdown instruction to the BOX end so that the BOX end enters a shutdown state after receiving the shutdown instruction; controlling the HOST terminal to be electrified, and testing whether the HOST terminal is automatically started after being electrified; and sending a starting command to the HOST end, and testing whether the HOST end executes starting operation based on the starting command.
And sending a shutdown instruction to the BOX end, and entering a shutdown state after the BOX end receives the shutdown instruction. And after the BOX end enters a shutdown state, testing the HOST end.
And after the BOX terminal is in a shutdown state, controlling the HOST terminal to be electrified, and testing whether the HOST terminal is automatically started after the HOST terminal is electrified.
It can be appreciated that based on the power-on sequence of the HOST end and the BOX end, the BOX end needs to be powered on first, and then the HOST end needs to be powered on. When the BOX end is in a shutdown state, the HOST end cannot realize startup operation after being electrified. Therefore, after the BOX terminal is controlled to enter a shutdown state, the HOST terminal can be electrified, whether the HOST terminal is automatically started after the HOST terminal is electrified or not is tested, a transmitter instruction can be actively sent to the HOST terminal, and whether the HOST terminal performs starting operation based on the starting instruction or not is tested.
According to the server power-on test method provided by the embodiment of the invention, after the BOX end is controlled to enter the power-off state, the HOST end is electrified, whether the HOST end is automatically started after being electrified is tested, a transmitter instruction is actively sent to the HOST end, whether the HOST end executes the power-on operation based on the power-on instruction is tested, and the testing process of the HOST end is realized.
In one embodiment, based on controlling the on-off state of the BOX end, testing the HOST end includes: controlling the BOX end to be electrified so as to enable the BOX end to enter a starting state after being electrified; controlling the HOST terminal to be electrified, and testing whether the HOST terminal is automatically started after being electrified; after the HOST end is electrified and is in a power-on state, a power-off instruction is sent to the HOST end so that the HOST end is in a power-off state; and sending a starting-up instruction to the HOST end, and testing whether the HOST end executes starting-up operation based on the starting-up instruction.
When the HOST end is tested, the BOX end is controlled to be electrified, so that the BOX end enters a starting state after being electrified. And after the BOX terminal is started, testing the HOST terminal.
And controlling the HOST terminal to be electrified, and testing whether the HOST terminal is automatically started after the HOST terminal is electrified. It can be appreciated that based on the power-on sequence of the HOST end and the BOX end, the BOX end needs to be powered on first, and then the HOST end needs to be powered on. Because the BOX terminal is in the starting-up state, after the HOST terminal is powered on, the BMC of the HOST terminal judges that the BOX terminal is in the starting-up state and allows the HOST terminal to execute starting-up operation. Therefore, after the HOST terminal is powered on, whether the HOST terminal is automatically started or not can be tested.
After the HOST terminal is powered on and in a power-on state, a power-off instruction can be sent to the HOST terminal, and the HOST terminal is in the power-off state after receiving and executing the power-off instruction. And sending a starting-up instruction to the HOST end, and testing whether the HOST end executes starting-up operation based on the starting-up instruction.
It can be appreciated that based on the power-on sequence of the HOST end and the BOX end, the BOX end needs to be powered on first, and then the HOST end needs to be powered on. And after the BOX end is started and the HOST end is started, controlling the HOST end to be shut down, and after the HOST end is shut down, receiving a starting instruction, so that the starting operation is realized. And sending a starting-up instruction to the HOST terminal, and testing whether the HOST terminal executes starting-up operation based on the starting-up instruction or not, so that the HOST terminal can be tested.
According to the server power-on test method provided by the embodiment of the invention, the HOST terminal is controlled to be powered off after the BOX terminal is powered on. After the HOST terminal is turned off, a starting instruction is received, and starting operation is realized. And sending a starting-up instruction to the HOST terminal, and testing whether the HOST terminal executes starting-up operation based on the starting-up instruction or not, so as to realize the testing process of the HOST terminal.
In one embodiment, further comprising: traversing the power-on strategy of the HOST terminal, and testing the HOST terminal based on different power-on strategies.
When the HOST terminal is tested, the power-on strategy of the HOST terminal is traversed, and the HOST terminal is tested based on different power-on strategies. The power-on policy of the HOST terminal refers to the Chassis policy control of the BMC of the HOST terminal. The passis strategy can be divided into three types previous, always-on, always-off. The Previous policy is a state of the server before power failure, and the server can be restored to the state before power failure after power supply is restored; the always-on strategy is that the server is in a power-on state or a power-off state before power failure, and the server is changed into the power-on state after power restoration; the always-off strategy is that the server is in a power-on state or a power-off state before power failure, and the server is in the power-off state after power restoration and is not automatically started.
When the HOST terminal is tested, different power-on strategies are set in the BMC of the HOST terminal, and under the condition of the different power-on strategies, the HOST terminal is tested.
According to the server power-on method provided by the embodiment of the invention, the HOST terminal is tested by traversing the power-on strategy of the HOST terminal and based on different power-on strategies, so that the testing process of the HOST terminal under the premise of different power-on strategies is realized.

In the process of testing the HOST end, controlling the HOST end to power on, and testing the accuracy of power-on control of the HOST end.
For example, the HOST terminal can be electrified for a plurality of times, whether the HOST terminal is automatically started or not after the HOST terminal is electrified is tested, and the accuracy of the power-on control of the HOST terminal is determined.
When determining the accuracy of the power-on control of the HOST end, the accuracy can be compared with a preset accuracy threshold, and the second test result of the target server is determined to be the passing or failing test.
According to the server power-on test method provided by the embodiment of the invention, the HOST end is controlled to be powered on in the process of testing the HOST end, and the accuracy of power-on control of the HOST end is tested, so that the determination of the second test result of the target server is realized.
In one embodiment, controlling the target server to disconnect the HOST end from the BOX end includes: and controlling the target server to disable the slot position of the PCIe adapter card of the HOST end connected with the BOX end, and closing the power supply to the BOX end so as to disconnect the HOST end from the BOX end.

A hard disk or a display card can be installed in the BOX end and connected to the HOST end re-timer card by using a cable, and then the device of the BOX end can be provided for the HOST end to use.
The HOST-BOX compound server has requirements on the power-on start-up of the BOX end and the HOST end, and the power-on start-up of the BOX end is needed first, and then the power-on start-up of the HOST end is needed. If the HOST terminal is started before the BOX terminal, the HOST terminal cannot scan the BOX terminal equipment, and the BOX terminal equipment is not available. Therefore, the power-on sequence between the HOST end of the target server and the BOX end of the target server is a power-on sequence of powering on the BOX end of the target server first and then powering on the HOST end of the target server.

The method comprises the steps of determining that a first test result of a target server is test passing at an HOST end of the target server and a BOX end of the target server; and when the HOST end or the BOX end of the target server fails to pass the test, determining that the first test result of the target server is that the test fails. After the BOX end of the target server is disconnected, the HOST end is tested, and the determined second test result may include that the HOST end test passes and that the HOST end test fails.
After the first test result and the second test result are obtained, if the first test result and the second test result are both test passing, the power-on test result of the target server can be determined to be test passing. And when the first test result and the second test result contain that the test fails, determining that the power-on test result of the target server fails.
