Problems solved by technology

[0007] In actual use, there are many problems in the transmission of server failure information by these indicators: the health status indicator of the whole machine is unclear. For example, when the red light is on, it can only indicate that the node server has failed, but it cannot clearly indicate the failure of the server. Is it the internal temperature abnormality or which part is faulty?
However, the main problem of this solution is that the implementation cost is high, and due to the limited size of the front panel of the server, querying information may require multiple interactions, and the efficiency is low

Embodiment 1

[0066] This embodiment provides a server failure indication method, which is applied to the server side, such as figure 1 As shown, the processing flow of the method of this embodiment includes the following steps:

[0067] Step 101, acquiring fault information of the server.

[0068] At present, a baseboard management controller (BMC, Baseboard Management Controller) is usually provided on the motherboard of the server, which can connect various components of the server (such as CPU, memory, hard disk, network card, power supply, fan, etc.) and various sensors ( Temperature sensor, etc.), collect and obtain the status information and fault information of the server.

[0069] The state information of the server includes the state information of each component in the server, such as the state information of the hard disk: the hard disk is in an inactive state or the hard disk is in a read-write state, etc.; the state information of the fan: the fan is in an inactive state, and...

Embodiment 2

[0092] This embodiment provides a server failure indication method, which is applied to the terminal side, such as figure 2 As shown, the processing flow of the method of this embodiment includes the following steps:

[0093] Step 201: Shooting for a preset time according to a second fixed frequency to obtain a group of images of faulty indicator lights.

[0094] When the local operation and maintenance personnel see that the fault indicator lights up or flashes (depending on the specific flashing information), the local operation and maintenance personnel can use the camera of the terminal (such as a smart phone or other customized handheld terminal equipment) to take pictures. It is necessary to take a group of images of the fault indicator light according to the second fixed frequency, and the shooting time is a preset time, and the preset time is greater than or equal to the time required for the fault indicator light on the server side to display the fault information on...

Embodiment 3

[0117] The embodiment of the present invention provides a server, such as image 3 As shown, the server includes: an acquisition unit 301 and an indication unit 302, wherein,

[0118] An acquiring unit 301, configured to acquire fault information of the server, where the fault information includes fault component information and fault type;

[0119] The indication unit 302 is configured to control the fault indicator light to appear in a bright state or a dark state according to a first fixed frequency according to the corresponding relationship between the fault information and the flashing information, and display the fault information acquired by the acquisition unit 301 as the fault indicator light flashing message.

[0120] Optionally, the indicating unit 302 includes: an encoding subunit 3021 and an indicating subunit 3022; wherein,

[0121] The encoding subunit 3021 is used to encode the fault information acquired by the acquisition unit 301 according to the preset en...

Abstract

The embodiment of the invention discloses a server fault indication method. The method comprises the steps of obtaining fault information of a server, wherein the fault information comprises fault component information and a fault type; controlling a fault indicator light to present a bright state or a dark state according to first fixed frequency on the basis of a corresponding relationship of the fault information and flicker information, and displaying the fault component information and the fault type in the fault information as the flicker information of the fault indicator light. The embodiment of the invention discloses a server fault indication device.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of computer technology, in particular to a server failure indication method and device. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of cloud computing and big data, many data centers with a scale of more than tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of servers have also begun to appear. Since many companies have only one set of operation and maintenance systems, but data centers and servers may be distributed in different parts of the country and even the world, servers need to be operated and maintained remotely; Remotely upload information such as the running status and faults to the centralized operation and maintenance system. In addition, for ultra-large-scale server clusters, hardware failures will become the norm, and it is not necessary and impossible to deal with all failures immediately, but to continue to maintain the normal operation of the application system through the cluster archit...
