Testing method and device

Abstract

The invention discloses a test method. The method comprises the following steps: determining a safe operation numerical range of a first type of monitoring quantity of first pluggable equipment according to specification information of the first pluggable equipment; inputting a first type monitoring quantity of the first pluggable device with a numerical value outside the safe operation numericalvalue range to the BMC and determining whether the BMC gives an alarm, or inputting the first type monitoring quantity of the first pluggable device with a numerical value within the safe operation numerical value range to the BMC and determining whether the BMC gives an alarm; if the numerical value of the first type monitoring quantity of the first pluggable device is within the safe operation numerical value range, enabling the BMC to give an alarm; or enabling the BMC to not give an alarm when the numerical value of the first type of monitoring quantity of the first pluggable device is outof the safe operation numerical value range, and determining that the BMC does not accurately monitor the first type of monitoring quantity of the first pluggable device. The invention further discloses a corresponding testing device. According to the scheme, the cost for testing the monitoring capability of the BMC can be reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of server testing, in particular to a testing method and device. Background technique [0002] With the development of Internet big data, the market's demand for servers is increasing, and at the same time, the reliability requirements of servers are also increasing. As a BMC (Baseboard Management Controller, Baseboard Management Controller) for monitoring and managing the health status of the server system The system is also more and more important. As an important functional module of the server, devices connected to the main board of the server through bus plugging (for example, devices connected to the main board of the server through the PCIe bus, devices connected to the main board of the server through the SATA bus, etc., are also referred to herein as "capable Pluggable device") is an important part of BMC monitoring and management. Arrays of Independent Drives, disk array) cards, etc.) are expensive. If you...

As an important functional module of the server, devices connected to the main board of the server through bus plugging (for example, devices connected to the main board of the server through the PCIe bus, devices connected to the main board of the server through the SATA bus, etc., are also referred to herein as "capable Pluggable device") is an important part of BMC monitoring and management. Arrays of Independent Drives, disk array) cards, etc.) are expensive. If you want to verify the monitoring function of BMC for all devices, you need to insert each type of pluggable device into the slot of the server and then test the corresponding monitoring amount by BMC. This will increase the test workload, and thus increase the test cost; the current conventional method of testing the BMC is to test the monitoring capability of the BMC of the pluggable device under extreme conditions by running a stress test tool under the operating system, which will affect the reliability of the BMC. Plugging and unplugging equipment causes damage and increases testing costs
