Embodiment 1

[0047] like figure 1 It shows the in-band hard disk management diagram of the current server system. The CPU is connected to the hard disk controller, the hard disk controller is connected to the hard disk backplane, and the hard disk backplane is connected to the hard disk. By installing the corresponding hard disk controller driver and hard disk management system under the operating system, through The path of operating system OS>CPU>hard disk controller>hard disk backplane>hard disk monitors and manages the hard disk. This method needs to install a hard disk management system under the operating system, which will occupy system resources such as CPU and DDR, and the hard disk management system and the customer's business run on the in-band system at the same time, which may be controlled by an external customer and destroy hard disk data. Risks, as the technology of network saboteurs continues to improve, in order to ensure security, the security requirements of the hard di...

Embodiment 2

[0054] Embodiment 2 provides an automatic locating system for a faulty hard disk of a server. After the faulty hard disk is automatically located, the fault information is sent to the user in time for timely maintenance.

[0055] like image 3 Shown is a schematic structural diagram of a system for automatically locating hard disks for server faults provided in Embodiment 2, which includes multiple hard disks, and each hard disk is connected to a hard disk controller through a hard disk backplane. In addition, the hard disk controller is connected to the CPU, and the CPU is connected to the operating system. system communication.

[0056] In order to realize out-of-band management, the positioning system of this embodiment sets indicator lights at each hard disk to indicate the location of the hard disk when the hard disk fails.

[0057] The BMC chip communicates with the hard disk controller through the I2C bus, and is connected to each indicator light and the user client at...

Embodiment 3

[0060] On the basis of the first embodiment above, as Figure 4 As shown, the third embodiment provides a method for automatically locating a faulty hard disk of a server, which is executed by a BMC chip, realizes out-of-band monitoring of a hard disk fault, and locates a faulty hard disk, including the following steps.

[0061] S101. Obtain hard disk information of each hard disk from a hard disk controller.

[0062] S102. Based on all the acquired hard disk information, determine whether there is a hard disk failure.

[0063] S103, if there is a hard disk fault, control the indicator light at the faulty hard disk to light up.

[0064] Embodiment 3 provides a method for automatically locating a server faulty hard disk. The BMC chip obtains hard disk information from the hard disk controller, judges the hard disk failure according to the hard disk information, and controls the corresponding indicator light to light up to indicate the location of the faulty hard disk when the ...

Abstract

The invention relates to the field of fault hard disk automatic positioning, and particularly discloses a server fault hard disk automatic positioning system, method and device, which comprises a plurality of hard disks, each hard disk is connected with a hard disk controller through a hard disk backboard, and the server fault hard disk automatic positioning system also comprises a BMC chip and indicating lamps arranged at each hard disk; the BMC chip communicates with the hard disk controller through an I2C bus and is connected with the indicating lamps. And the BMC chip obtains the hard disk information of each hard disk from the hard disk controller and judges whether a hard disk fault exists or not, and when the hard disk fault exists, the BMC chip controls the indicating lamp at the fault hard disk to be turned on. According to the method, the hard disk is monitored through the out-of-band management system, and the fault hard disk is automatically positioned, so that the hard disk can be monitored and managed by completely using the out-of-band management method, the pressure on a CPU (Central Processing Unit) and an internal memory is reduced, the system resource is saved, and the safety of the hard disk monitoring system is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of automatic positioning of faulty hard disks, in particular to a system, method and device for automatic positioning of faulty hard disks of servers. Background technique [0002] With the continuous growth of data, the storage capacity of servers is getting higher and higher, the number of hard disks is increasing, and the workload and complexity of hard disk operation and maintenance are also increasing. How to effectively improve the operation and maintenance efficiency of hard disks and reduce the complexity of artificially determining faulty hard disks It has become an increasingly urgent demand to improve the degree of automation of operation and maintenance. In existing server systems, there are usually a large number of in-band management software to manage hard disks, but these software run under the in-band business system, consume system resources such as CPU and memory, and also have certain security prob...
