Problems solved by technology

For example, the test under the Window or Linux operating system needs to start the operating system, which takes a long time and depends on the system, such as installing drivers, corresponding tools, etc., and the operating system disk needs daily maintenance, which is not conducive to large-scale testing in the factory
In the case of many NVME hard disk backplane tests, the machine frequently starts the operating system, resulting in a great waste of test time and manpower, increasing test costs

Embodiment 1

[0022] The concrete steps of this UEFI-based server NVME hard disk backplane functional testing method are as follows:

[0023] 1) Check the startup sequence in BIOSSetup, set bootfrombuild-inefishell as the first startup item, and the machine will automatically enter build-inefishell after booting;

[0024] 2) Insert the NVME adapter card into the corresponding PCIe slot of the motherboard, connect the NVME adapter card to the NVME hard disk backplane with NVME cables, and fully insert the NVME hard disk into the backplane hard disk interface;

[0025] 3) Edit the uefishell self-startup script startup.nsh, scan the available file system, enter the file system storing the test program through a mark file, and run the test program; copy startup.nsh, test program and mark file to the U disk, Plug in the USB port of the machine, power on the machine and start it up;

[0026] 4) Pass the parameters to the main test program for the actual number of hard disks on the backplane, the...

Abstract

The invention discloses a UEFI (unified extensible firmware interface) based server NVME (non-volatile memory express) hard disk back plate function testing method. The testing method comprises steps as follows: 1) a machine is started through a uefi shell; 2) a uefi starting script is guided into a testing USB disk; 3) a procedure performs quantity checking and read-write function testing on the NVME hard disks on a back plate according to parameters including 'the number of the NVME hard disks, the number of to-be-tested sectors and the offset'; 4) the function of an NVME hard disk back plate is normal and the NVME hard disk back plate is a non-defective product if the number of the NVME hard disks is consistent and the read-write function is normal, and otherwise, the NVME hard disk back plate is a defective product. By means of the method, the problems that an existing testing method consumes long time and is dependent on a system, an operating system requires daily maintenance and large-scale testing of a factory is hindered are solved, simplicity in operation, fast speed, saving of testing time and test fixtures and high expandability and flexibility during large-scale testing of the NVME hard disk back plate are realized, and testing of the NVME hard disk back plate is simplified and rapid.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of large-scale testing of server NVME hard disk backplane factories, in particular to a UEFI-based server NVME hard disk backplane functional testing method. Background technique [0002] In the current manufacturing process of server NVME hard disk backplanes, functional tests are mostly required to check whether the functions are normal. [0003] In the current large-scale functional tests of server NVME hard disk backplane factories, most of them are tested under operating systems such as DOS, Windows and Linux. If the test is done under DOS, the DOS environment needs to be a DOS boot disk with few drivers, and UEFI BIOS gradually does not support DOS. For example, the test under the Windows or Linux operating system needs to start the operating system, which takes a long time and depends on the system, such as installing drivers and corresponding tools, and the operating system disk needs daily maintenance, which...
