Embodiment Construction

[0017] The content of the present invention will be described in more detail below.

[0018] The restart test flow chart is shown in 1 and 2.

[0019] The environmental requirements of this test method:

[0020] 1. One server under test, BMC port and a service network port are connected to the network (sharelink network port can also be used, and only one network cable is used to connect to the BMC and service network port at the same time);

[0021] 2. One control computer, connected to the same network.

[0022] Test process:

[0023] 1. After the tested machine is confirmed to be running normally, the hardware configuration is correct, and the software settings are normal, run the test script, perform test initialization, and save the current hardware information for comparison in future tests;

[0024] 2. Run the script on the control computer to monitor the machine under test. When it is found that the machine under test has completed booting and restarting the test sc...

Abstract

The invention provides an automatic server restart testing method based on an IPMI, and relates to the technical field of restart testing. A tested server is restarted, hardware information is automatically scanned, the scanning result is compared with an originally-stored record, and if the scanning result is different from the originally-stored record, the difference is recorded in a log file. A control terminal computer cyclically detects the tested server, when it is detected that the tested server is started and hardware scanning is finished, an IPMI instruction is sent to the tested server, and the restart circulation of the tested server is finished. By the adoption of the method, an automatic restart test is conducted on the server, hidden danger of various kinds in a computer start link in server design can be effectively found through the method, the work efficiency of testing personnel can be effectively improved, labor cost is saved, and work accuracy and reliability are improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to restart testing technology, in particular to an IPMI-based method for automatically restarting a server. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of the server industry, more and more customers in various fields use servers with stronger computing power to run their core applications. INSPUR, as the largest server supplier in China, in order to meet customers with highly parallel and high-performance requirements, while promoting high-performance servers, GM pays attention to product quality, reliability and stability. [0003] According to past experience and theoretical analysis, the server is most prone to problems during the startup phase. After the server is powered on, it will scan all devices connected to the system, and at the same time allocate resources to all devices and try to initialize and self-check all devices. A large part of the problems in product design will be exposed at this stage. After ...
