Startup test system and startup test method

Abstract

The invention provides a startup test system and a startup test method. The startup test system comprises a server and an intelligent network card. The startup test method comprises the following steps: controlling the server and the intelligent network card to execute a server test program and a network card test program respectively, modifying the server from a default first startup mode to a second startup mode when the server test program is tested to be qualified, and modifying the server from the default second startup mode to the second startup mode when the network card test program istested to be qualified; comparing whether the server is in the second starting mode or not so as to modify the server from the second starting mode to the first starting mode, and finally synchronously re-executing the server test program and the network card test program.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a start-up test system and a start-up test method, in particular to a start-up test system and a start-up test method applied to servers and smart network cards. Background technique [0002] In the server manufacturing process, usually after the server is manufactured, the entire manufacturing process is completed after the inspection of the cycle test. In addition to the server host, the existing server will also include a smart network card, which is the finished product of the server. It will contain components such as smart network cards, so when testing the server, it will mainly test the server host and smart network cards. [0003] However, for a general server host and the iNIC, the operating systems of the server host and the iNIC are independent, but the server host also provides power to the iNIC plugged into the server host. Therefore, in the existing test process, the overall power-on test action of the two is us...

Problems solved by technology

However, if the test time of the smart network card is long, after the test of the server host is completed, it is necessary to wait for the test of the smart network card to complete.

[0005] As mentioned above, since the operating systems of the two are independent of each other, that is, the test programs of the two do not affect each other, so when an error occurs during the test of the smart network card, the test program of the server host will not appear due to the smart network card. If it stops due to an error, it will continue to restart and cause the test program of the smart network card to restart, so that the smart network card will always re-execute the test program, and it will not be possible to detect the errors that occur when the smart network card executes the test program in real time

[0006] In addition, because the existing test methods cannot guarantee the length of time for the two test programs to run, after each server host test is completed, it is necessary to increase the sleep time to ensure that both tests are completed, resulting in a waste of time

Even when the smart network card crashes during a certain test, not only the crash cannot be retained, but also the number of smart network card test failures will occur, which will cause the cycle test times of the smart network card and the server host to be out of sync.
