Problems solved by technology

[0002] With the popularization of the Internet, electronic informationization of government departments and the rise of cloud computing and the Internet of Things, server manufacturers have introduced blade servers, which are installed in a 7U main chassis Up to 14 computing blades can be deployed inside. Blade servers are favored by users for their modularity, high density, and easy deployment. They are increasingly popularized and applied in high-performance cluster systems and cloud computing centers. The difference between blade server products and general-purpose server products is that in terms of hardware, it is equivalent to installing 14 servers in one host, and these 14 servers share a set of peripherals such as KVM and USB; general-purpose servers need to be assembled in the production process , debugging, aging and other processes, blade servers also need to go through these processes; because 14 computing blades share a set of KVM, USB and other peripherals, if the traditional serial operation is performed, it is assumed that a single computing blade completes debugging [including BIOS refresh , BMC refresh, aging test system installation] takes 76 minutes, then the 14 computing blades need to be repeated 14 times, and the whole process takes 1064 minutes; in this process, manual operations are required, and basic professional skills are required to install the operating system. Knowledgeable personnel to complete, the production efficiency is very low, this method is not suitable for mass production

Embodiment 1

[0024] 1: In order to realize the automatic network restoration of GHOST image, this patent specially made a special boot USB flash drive, which contains the following files: DOS system, AUTOEXEC.BAT batch processing [self-edited], GHOST software [green software], NET Program [Network Startup Program]; insert the startup U disk into the USB interface of the blade server management module, connect the network to the switch module of the blade server, switch to the first computing blade through the KVM button and start it, the system starts from the U disk After startup, automatically restore the GHOST image on the download server to the hard disk of the first computing blade; press the KVM button to switch to the second computing blade while the first computing blade is being restored, and the system will restore the GHOST image to the second computing blade after booting from the U disk. Restore to the hard disk of the second computing blade; and so on, perform the above operat...

Embodiment 2

[0028] Insert the keyboard, monitor, and boot U disk into the interface of the blade server control module, connect the network to the network port of the switch module, press the KVM button of the first computing blade to switch to the first computing blade and start it, the system starts from After the U disk is started, it automatically logs in to the download server and restores the GHOST image to the hard disk of the first computing blade; while restoring the first computing blade, press the KVM button of the second computing blade to switch to the second computing blade, and the system After booting from the U disk, restore the GHOST image to the hard disk of the second computing blade; and so on, perform the above operations on all 14 computing blades; after the image is restored to the hard disk of the computing blade, it will automatically restart. Starting from the hard disk, the AUTOEXEC.BAT batch process calls the BIOS and BMC refresh program to complete the automat...

Abstract

The invention provides a method for debugging a blade server in parallel. The method includes hardware and software. The hardware is a starting universal serial bus (USB) flash disk. The software includes mirror images compressed through general hardware oriented software transfer (GHOST) software, a disk operation system (DOS) and the GHOST software. The mirror images comprise Windows Server 2003 enterprise edition installation source files, burnintest, HD tune, memtest pressure test software, BIOS and BMC refreshing program, script control program autoexec.bat, operation system automatic installation control program autoOS.bat and test software automatic installation operation control program autotest.bat.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of server production, in particular to the manufacture and debugging of blade server products. Background technique [0002] With the popularization of the Internet, electronic information in government departments, and the rise of cloud computing and the Internet of Things, server manufacturers have introduced blade servers. Blade servers can deploy up to 14 computing blades in a 7U-height mainframe. Blade servers have modules It is favored by users due to its features such as high-density, high-density, and easy-to-deploy, and it is increasingly popularized and applied in high-performance cluster systems and cloud computing centers; the difference between blade server products and general-purpose server products lies in the hardware It is equivalent to installing 14 servers in a host, and these 14 servers share a set of KVM, USB and other peripherals; general servers need assembly, debugging, aging and other process...
