System and method for server fault detection based on onboard BMC

Abstract

The invention relates to a system and a method for server fault detection based on an onboard BMC. The detection system comprises a driving module and a fault detection module. The detection method comprises: collecting log of the BMC on a server, an operating system, a network card, and a power supply; through an IPMI command, monitoring states of hardware in the server, to obtain monitoring data; according to the log and the monitoring data, analyzing server fault, to obtain an analysis result; and storing and / or outputting the analysis result. The method and the system can accurately position fault reasons, and improve fault detection accuracy, and through preset programs and components, the faults are processed without depending on professional skill of maintenance personnel. The method and the system are beneficial for improving fault detection efficiency on the basis of improving fault detection reliability, and are convenient for popularization and application.

Description

technical field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of server fault detection, and in particular to a server fault detection system and method based on an onboard BMC. Background technique

[0002] With the development of computer technology, the application fields of servers are becoming more and more extensive, and the current number of server nodes is huge. Correspondingly, the probability of server failures is increasing, and the types of failures are also increasing. Therefore, detection of server failures has gradually attracted attention in the industry.

[0003] There is no special device for traditional server fault detection, and the detection is mainly performed by BMC for relevant data collection. Specifically, in the cluster service, when a certain server fails, for example: a component of a certain node server is broken and cannot enter the operating system, in order to find the failed component, usually the maintenance personnel firs...

Examples

Embodiment 1

[0040] see figure 1 , figure 1 It is a schematic structural diagram of an onboard BMC-based server fault detection system provided in an embodiment of the present application. Depend on figure 1 It can be seen that the onboard BMC-based server fault detection system in the embodiment of the present application mainly includes two parts: a driver module 1 and a fault detection module 2, wherein the driver module 1 is used to integrate the hardware driver of the server, and the fault detection module 2 is used to Detect and analyze server failures.

[0041] Specifically, the server fault detection system in this embodiment is a minimal Linux system, and the hardware drivers of the server are pre-installed in the driver module 1 in the minimal Linux system, so that the fault detection module 2 can collect information about all hardware drivers.

[0042] Further, both the drive module 1 and the fault detection module 2 in this embodiment are customizable modules. The driver modu...

Embodiment 2

[0053] exist figure 1 and figure 2 On the basis of the illustrated embodiment see image 3 , image 3 A schematic structural diagram of another on-board BMC-based server fault detection system provided by an embodiment of the present application is shown. Depend on image 3 It can be seen that the server fault detection system in this embodiment further includes a boot module 3, which is used to guide to the fault detection system through the BIOS and start the fault detection system when the server fails. Specifically, through software settings, startup items can be set in the BIOS, and when the server fails and restarts, the server can be directly booted into the server failure detection system through the BIOS. The setting of the boot module 3 is beneficial to further ensure that the server fault detection system is first started when the server is restarted after a fault occurs. And by figure 1 and figure 2 From the illustrated embodiment, it can be known that in ...
