Problems solved by technology

The power-on and power-off test finds design problems and key component compatibility problems during the server startup process through automatic loop tests, such as machine crashes, system blue screens, etc.
In order to realize the power-on / off test well, in the prior art, the power-on / off test is to say that test software is installed in the server DOS system, and records the number of times of starting up by executing the power-on / off program. Unable to visually observe and predict possible problems, resulting in the inability to achieve centralized and automated stress testing

Embodiment Construction

[0020] A test method for switching on and off a blade server according to the present invention will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0021] as attached figure 1 , figure 2 , image 3 Shown, this a kind of blade server is carried out the test method of power-off machine, and its specific steps are:

[0022] 1) Connect the system to be tested to form a test environment, that is, the control terminal 1 is connected to the Ethernet switch 2 through the network 5, and the Ethernet switch 2 is connected to the SMC management module 3 (that is, the service monitoring management module) through the network 5, and the SMC management module 3 passes The network 5 connects the blade server group 4 .

[0023] 2) Set the controller network card IP, SMC IP, blade BMC IP and blade network card IP in the same network segment.

[0024] 3) Install IPMItool on the control terminal, use IPMItool to verify whether the network environment is workin...

Abstract

The invention provides a method for carrying out startup and shutdown testing on a blade server and belongs to a computer communication technology. The method comprises the following specific implementing steps that a control end monitors a BMC (Baseboard Management Controller) of each blade by an SMC (System Management Controller); when the control end reads a state of each blade in the BMC of the blade by an IPMI (Intelligent Platform Management Interface) tool and if the state of the blade is a shutdown state, the control end starts up the tested blade by an IPMI tool command; after each blade is started up, the blade waits for 3 to 5 minutes and the control end pings a network card IP (Internet Protocol) of the tested blade; if each tested blade is switched on by the Ping operation, a result that the blade normally enters a system is indicated; the control end shuts down each blade by an IPMI tool command; and the steps are cycled to implement automatic startup and shutdown pressure testing. Compared with the prior art, the method for carrying out startup and shutdown testing on the blade server is convenient for test personnel to rapidly find problems and preliminarily judge time when the blades go wrong and possibility that the blades possibly go wrong.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of computer communication, in particular to a test method for switching on and off a blade server. Background technique [0002] For today's server products, the server needs to run continuously for a long time. Stability and reliability are the basic requirements for the server. To ensure this requirement, stress testing is essential. The power-on and power-off test finds design problems and key component compatibility problems during the server startup process through automatic loop tests, such as machine crashes, system blue screens, etc. In order to realize the power-on / off test well, in the prior art, the power-on / off test all refers to that the test software is installed in the server DOS system, and records the number of times of starting up by executing the power-on / off program. It is impossible to visually observe and predict possible problems, resulting in the inability to achieve centralized and ...
