Server system and hardware log recording device and method thereof

Abstract

The invention discloses a hardware log recording apparatus for a server system, comprises a state management chip connected with a state output interface of each server in a server system, wherein thestate management chip is used for receiving the state information output by each server in real time and sending the related state information of the failed server to a flash when the server fails isdetected, after receiving the reading instruction sent by the external display device, the corresponding state information stored in the flash is read and returned to the external display device fordisplay; a flash connected to the state management chip for receiving the state information transmitted by the state management chip and storing the state information; a backup power connected to thestatus management chip and flash, respectively. When the server system is powered off and restarted, the invention does not lose the state information of the fault server, facilitates the engineer tosolve the fault, and has high reliability and stability of the server system. The invention also discloses a method and a server system based on the device.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of server maintenance, in particular to a hardware log recording device and method for a server system. The invention also relates to a server system. Background technique [0002] In today's big data Internet era, with the use and demand of servers greatly increasing, some small probability problems are also exposed during the operation stage of hundreds of thousands of servers. When engineers want to solve these small probability problems, they need Know what happened at the stage when the problem occurred, and the working status of the server when the problem occurred is currently saved in the log of the server. Therefore, engineers need to read the log to solve the problem. [0003] However, when there is a problem with the server, it usually leads to server downtime, and the internal data of the server in the downtime state is obviously unreadable, so the server needs to be restarted, but after the res...

Problems solved by technology

[0003] However, when there is a problem with the server, it usually leads to server downtime, and the internal data of the server in the downtime state is obviously unreadable, so the server needs to be restarted, but after the restart, the logs saved in the server and during downtime are also It will be lost with the restart, making it impossible for engineers to understand the server status at the time of downtime. It is very difficult for engineers to solve server problems, resulting in low reliability and stability of the server system
