Operating system hard disk recognition device

Abstract

The present invention discloses a hard disc identification device of an operating system for indentifying a hard disc of the operating system of a computer with a hard disc module. The present invention includes an obtaining module for obtaining the hard disc logical partition of the current operating system and sending the corresponding physical hard disc information of the hard disc logical partition to a main board management controller; a main board management controller for driving an indication module to indicate the hard disc of the operating system according to the corresponding physical hard disc information; an indication module for indicating the hard disc of the operating system according to the drive of the main board management controller. The hard disc identification device of the operating system provided by the present invention can identify the hard disc of the operating system without entering the operating interface of the operating system and then instruct a user; in addition, the user unnecessarily knows the corresponding relationship between the hard disc logical partition and the physical hard disc.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the computer field, in particular to an operating system hard disk identification device. Background technique [0002] In a server system, it is generally supported to install a hard disk module including multiple hard disks. The operating system of the server is installed in one or more of the hard disks, and data and applications are installed in the remaining hard disks. The hard disk with the operating system installed is called the operating system hard disk. [0003] During system operation, the user may need to hot-swap the hard disk in the hard disk module. Since an operating system runs on the operating system hard disk, it cannot be hot-swapped, so it is necessary to identify the hard disk where the current operating system is located. Otherwise, if the hard disk where the operating system is located is hot-swapped, it will bring disastrous consequences. [0004] The solution for identifying the hard disk of the o...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0005] The disadvantages of existing solutions are: the server needs to be connected to the display, and the system administrator enters the operating system management interface, and needs to clearly understand the correspondence between the hard disk logical partition and the physical hard disk

[0006] However, some of the existing server systems do not provide displays, such as rack (RACK) server systems

In addition, on a server system that can only be operated remotely, the operating system running interface cannot be accessed locally.

In this way, the above scheme cannot be used to identify the hard disk of the operating system.

Moreover, multiple operating systems may also be installed on the server, and each operating system is installed on different hard disks. In this way, the operating system currently running is uncertain, and the above-mentioned labeling method cannot reflect the hard disk currently running the operating system in real time.
