Description

一种服务器硬件故障检测方法及其装置和服务器 技术领域
本发明涉及计算机及通信领域，尤其涉及一种服务器硬件故障检测方法及其装置和服务器。
背景技术
在目前的中高端服务器上，服务器一般都具有部分“黑匣子”功能，用于操作系统崩溃时的故障信息记录，可以将OS(操作系统，Operating System)的各种内核异常如内核错误、重启复位、异常打印信息等记录下来，也可以通过SEL(系统事件日志，System Event Log)记录部分简单的硬件错误，再或者通过带外的方式(比如联合测试链路)在故障发生后在现场采集错误，又或者通过带内的异常触发机理被动地监控设备异常，而带内的异常触发机理需要异常条件去触发其异常记录模块才进行记录。这些方法可以一定程度上帮助维护人员确定故障产生的原因，但是这些方法仍存在如下缺陷：
1、上述的方法是通过被动地触发检测记录，缺少对服务器的主动检测，尤其是对服务器硬件故障的主动甄别监控。对于在系统正常启动并运行，且业务质量大幅度下降的情况，系统并不会触发故障信息记录，这时就会造成故障信息被遗漏，使得维护人员在维护时对故障信息的追查困难。
2、由于只有在系统崩溃或者产生异常触发时，才会对检测记录故障信息，因此，造成了系统(业务)运行过程中对硬件故障的采集能力和分析能力严重不足，从而导致系统的预警能力不足，降低了系统的稳定性和可靠性。
3、对于记录的故障信息过于简单、零散，没有准确统一的记录管理，无法做到对故障信息分析一步到位，后期需要大量的分析和筛查、交叉验证才能找到主要故障源。
4、通过带外的方式对故障信息采集，会受限于专业人员、局点环境、信息安全等，环境部署、人员协调、环境恢复等成本高昂。
因此，目前的服务器故障信息记录实现方案，只有在特定的条件下才能实现故障信息的检测记录，并且其记录的故障信息简单、零散，需要后期的大量分析。
