Keep-alive and self-healing method and device for advanced telecom computing architecture control surface

Abstract

The invention discloses a keep-alive and self-healing method and a keep-alive and self-healing device for an advanced telecom computing architecture control surface. The method comprises the following steps that: a frame management module acquires a control surface heartbeat keep-alive intelligent platform management interface (IPMI) command regularly initiated to a switch board by the common single board and / or a control surface heartbeat keep-alive IPMI command regularly initiated to the common single board by the switch board, wherein the common single board and the switch board are positioned in a frame where the frame management module is positioned and are in the successful software electrification state; the switch board sends a control surface heartbeat keep-alive IPMI command response to the frame management module through the common single board, or the common single board sends the control surface heartbeat keep-alive IPMI command response to the frame management module through the switch board; and if the control surface heartbeat keep-alive IPMI command response is not received in continuous appointed time, the frame management module determines that a link from the switch board to the common single board or from the common single board to the switch board fails, and resets the failed single board. The method improves the accuracy of detection positioning and the robustness of the system.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of communication technology, in particular to a method and device for keeping alive and self-healing of a control plane of an advanced telecommunication computing architecture. Background technique [0002] The main goal of the ATCA (Advanced Telecom Computing Architecture, Advanced Telecom Computing Architecture) standard is to provide a standardized platform architecture for carrier-class telecom applications, and to meet many important characteristics of telecom applications, such as reliability and maintainability. The ATCA architecture provides the foundation for highly scalable, modular wireless and wireline communications, core and network data center solutions that can be rapidly integrated from off-the-shelf building block-based components. These modular solutions enable faster time-to-market for new services, resulting in faster response to customer needs and increased revenue generation. [0003] T...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0007] (1) Since the management board detects the board that belongs to it, the board may not be in the same chassis as the management board to which it belongs, so even if the link fault is detected, the fault location cannot be accurately located , it may be the fault of the link between the chassis, or the failure of the management board or the management board within the chassis;

[0008] (2) It is impossible to locate the link in which direction there is a problem. This problem also exists in the previous non-ATCA architecture solution
