Failure alarming method and device

Abstract

The embodiment of the invention discloses a failure alarming method and device, and relates to the technical field of electronic information. The failure type of a failure point can be distinguished, unnecessary hardware replacement is avoided, and the maintenance cost of equipment is reduced. The method comprises the following steps: determining a first failure point when storage equipment fails, and acquiring address information of the first failure point; writing check data into the address information of the first failure point to obtain a test result according to storage unit failure detection rules; judging whether the test result is the same as a preset correct result or not; if the test result is the same as the preset correct result, determining the failure type of the first failure point as a soft failure type, and if the test result is different from the preset correct result, determining the failure type of the first failure point as a hard failure type; and outputting the determined failure type of the first failure point. The method and the device are applied to scenes of distinguishing the failure type and giving an alarm after the detection of a failure.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of electronic information, in particular to a fault alarm method and device. Background technique [0002] In the field of electronic information technology, RAM (Random Access Memory) has been widely used, but in the process of using RAM, some faults often occur. In order to quickly find and eliminate faults, the existing technology uses Fault alarm system, the fault alarm system will set the fault level when the storage unit fails according to the importance of the storage unit in the equipment. When the system detects that a certain storage unit in the equipment fails, it will Level, to issue alarm information including the fault level to maintenance personnel or users, so that maintenance personnel can perform corresponding maintenance on the equipment according to the fault level. [0003] Among them, RAM failures are divided into hard failures and soft failures. Hard failures are due to unrecoverable ...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, in the fault alarm system of the prior art, what maintenance personnel or users get from the alarm information released by the fault alarm system is the fault level, but the faults of the same fault level often have soft failures and hard failures, and soft failures The maintenance and handling methods for failure and hard failure are also different, so that maintenance personnel or users cannot deal with the failure in a targeted manner, and treat all failures as hard failures, and replace the failed hardware. For soft failures, as long as the failure level is equal to The same as the hard failure fault that needs to replace the hardware, it also needs to replace the hardware, which increases a lot of maintenance costs
