Server backboard abnormal lighting monitoring method and related component

Abstract

The invention discloses a server backboard abnormal lighting monitoring method and a related component. In the scheme, whether conventional lighting information sent by a control circuit is normal or not is detected firstly, if the conventional lighting information is abnormal, it is indicated that the control circuit breaks down, and therefore the fault information of the control circuit is sent to a substrate management controller; and the substrate management controller sends the standby lighting information so as to control the indicating lamp of the hard disk corresponding to the standby lighting information to be turned on or turned off. On the basis, when the control circuit breaks down, the indicating lamp of the hard disk cannot be controlled, and the substrate management controller takes over control over the indicating lamp of the hard disk, so that it is guaranteed that the indicating lamp of the hard disk can be normally lightened. The state information of the hard disk is prompted for a user.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of computer control, and more particularly to a monitoring method and related components of a server backplane anomaly. Background technique [0002] With the continuous development of information technology, the amount of data stored in the company has increased, and the requirements for the data storage amount of the server are constantly increasing. The server backplane in the prior art is usually equipped with multiple hard drives, and there are many settings on each hard disk. An indicator, the control circuit controls the indicator of each hard disk to reflect the current state of the hard disk, such as whether the position of the hard disk and whether the hard disk is damaged. [0003] In practical applications, a processor is provided between control circuits and respective hard drives, and the control circuit sends lights information controlled by the hard disk to the processor to make the processor to con...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, due to the large number of hard disks, there may be a mismatch between the hard disk address in the lighting information sent by the control circuit and the hard disk address stored in the processor, or the presence information of each hard disk in the lighting information generated by the control circuit. The inconsistency of the in-position information of the hard disk stored in the processor will cause the processor to be unable to control the corresponding hard disk indicator light to turn on or off, resulting in abnormal lighting of the hard disk indicator light, which cannot be detected in the prior art. In other words, it is impossible to control the indicator light of the hard disk normally when the above situation occurs, and it is impossible to prompt the user for the status information of the hard disk.
