[0002] In the networking of frame-type devices, the roles of the master and standby boards in the frame are unique and are one of the important parameters that determine the stability of the system.

For example, a dual-master and dual-standby state may occur.

These terms are only used to distinguish the same type of information from each other.

Depending on the context, the word "if" as used herein may be interpreted as "at the time of" or "when" or "in response to determining".

[0042] The detection method provided in the examples of the present application is described in detail below. Figure 1 , Figure 1 A flow chart of a detection method provided in an embodiment of the present application. The method is applied to a motherboard, and the detection method provided in an embodiment of the present application may include the following steps.

[0043] Step 110: Send a first detection message to the standby board, where the first detection message includes first role information of the main board.

[0044] Specifically, the mainboard is in a first frame, and the first frame also includes a standby board. The mainboard generates a first detection message, and the first detection message includes first role information of the mainboard. The first role information can specifically be a master device.

[0045] The main board sends a first detection message to the standby board.

[0046] Furthermore, in the embodiment of the present application, sending of the first detection message by the main board to the standby board may be triggered at different times.

[0047] In one implementation, the main board periodically sends a first detection message to the standby board. The main board sends the first detection message to the standby board according to the configured first cycle. A timer is set in the main board, and the time can be customized according to the current situation in the frame. For example, the time is 1 minute, that is, every 1 minute, the main board sends the first detection message to the standby board, and the first cycle is 1 minute.

[0048] In another implementation, when it is detected that the main board is downgraded to the standby board, the main board sends a first detection message to the standby board, or when it is detected that the health status of the main board is changed, the main board sends a first detection message to the standby board.

[0049] Furthermore, in an embodiment of the present application, the mainboard includes a detection module and a driver module. After the mainboard is powered on, the detection module is initialized. The detection module records the role information of the board and the slot number of the mainboard to which the board belongs, for example, the main device, slot01. At the same time, the detection module obtains the hardware-related information of the board from the driver module. The hardware-related information includes the slot number of the mainboard to which the board belongs, the in-place indication of the board, etc. The driver module can be specifically the hardware system of the mainboard.

[0050] In one implementation, the detection module sets a timer with a time of 1 minute. According to the first cycle, the detection module generates and sends a first detection message to the standby board.

[0051] In another implementation, the detection module obtains the slot number of the mainboard to which the board belongs from the driver module every 1 second. If the slot number has not changed, the role of the board remains as the mainboard and has not been downgraded. In this case, the detection module does not need to generate a first detection message and send a standby board. If the slot number has changed, the role of the board has changed. In this case, the detection module generates a first detection message and sends a standby board.

[0052] Furthermore, in an embodiment of the present application, the detection module also obtains the health data of the board where it is located from the driver module. The health data is a value calculated according to the weight based on the memory, CPU operating status, process and business operating status. The detection module obtains health data from the driver module every 1 second, or the driver module actively reports to the detection module after sensing the change in health data. The detection module can compare the health data with a preset health threshold to determine whether the health status of the board where it is located has changed. For example, if the health data exceeds the health threshold, the board is currently in a healthy state. At this time, the detection module does not need to generate a first detection message and send it to the spare board. If the health data does not exceed the health threshold, at this time, the detection module generates a first detection message and sends it to the spare board.

[0053] Furthermore, the first detection message also includes the health data of the board, the slot number of the board, the slot number of the mainboard to which the board belongs, and the running time of the board as the mainboard. The mainboard sends the above information to the standby board, and then obtains the information corresponding to the standby board, so that the mainboard can understand the running status of the standby board.

[0054] The above information can be obtained by the detection module from the driving module.

[0055] Step 120: Receive a first response message sent by the standby board according to the first role information, where the first response message includes the second role information of the standby board.

[0056] Specifically, according to the description of step 120, after receiving the first detection message, the standby board obtains the first role information from it. According to the first role information, the standby board obtains its own second role information and generates a first response message. The first response message includes the second role information of the standby board.

[0057] The standby board sends a first response message to the main board.

[0058] In the embodiment of the present application, the second role information obtained by the standby board is specifically the master device.

[0059] Furthermore, in the embodiment of the present application, the standby board also includes a detection module and a driving module. The functions of the above two modules are the same as those of the detection module and the driving module included in the main board, and are not described in detail here.

[0060] For example, after the standby board is powered on, the detection module is initialized. The detection module records the role information of the board and the slot number of the mainboard to which the board belongs, for example, master device, slot02. At the same time, the detection module obtains the hardware-related information of the board from the driver module. The hardware-related information includes the slot number of the mainboard to which the board belongs and the in-place indication of the board.

[0061] After receiving the first detection message, the detection module in the standby board obtains the first role information therefrom. According to the first role information, the detection module obtains the role information of the board from the local or driver module. For example, the second role information, which can be specifically the main device. The detection module generates a first response message and sends it to the main board.

[0062] The detection module in the mainboard receives the first response message.

[0063] Furthermore, the first response message also includes the health data of the board, the slot number of the board, the slot number of the mainboard to which the board belongs, and the running time of the board as the mainboard. The standby board sends the above information to the mainboard, so that the mainboard can obtain the above information to facilitate the mainboard to understand the running status of the standby board.

[0064] The above information can be obtained by the detection module from the driving module.

[0065] Step 130: When it is determined according to the first role information and the second role information that a suspected conflict between the roles of the master and standby boards occurs in the first frame, a second detection message is sent to the standby board, where the second detection message includes the first role information.

[0066] Specifically, according to the description of step 120, after receiving the first response message, the mainboard obtains the second role information therefrom. Since the first role information is the master device, the second role information is also the master device, therefore, the mainboard determines that there is a suspected conflict between the master and standby board roles in the first frame based on the first role information and the second role information.

[0067] The main board sends a second detection message to the standby board again, where the second detection message includes the first role information. The second detection message and the first detection message may be the same message.

[0068] It is understandable that since the main board sends the detection message for the first time and receives the response message sent by the standby board, in this step, the main board does not first determine whether a master-slave board role conflict has occurred in the first frame. After multiple verifications, the main board then determines whether a master-slave board role conflict has occurred in the first frame to avoid false alarms.

[0069] Furthermore, since the mainboard determines that a suspected conflict in the roles of the primary and standby boards occurs in the first frame, the mainboard will shorten the period for sending the second detection message to determine as soon as possible whether a conflict in the roles of the primary and standby boards has occurred in the first frame.

[0070] A timer is set in the main board, and the time of the timer is different from the timing time set by the main board in step 110. For example, the time is 1 second, that is, the main board sends the second detection message to the standby board every 1 second, and the second period is 1 second.

[0071] Furthermore, in this step, the detection module in the mainboard determines that a suspected conflict between the roles of the primary and standby boards occurs in the first frame according to the first role information and the second role information. The detection module generates and sends a second detection message to the standby board again.

[0072] Step 140: Receive a second response message sent by the standby board according to the first role information, where the second response message includes the second role information.

[0073] Specifically, according to the description of step 130, after receiving the second detection message, the standby board obtains the first role information from it. According to the first role information, the standby board obtains its own second role information again and generates a second response message. The second response message includes the second role information of the standby board.

[0074] The standby board sends a second response message to the main board.

[0075] In the embodiment of the present application, the second role information obtained by the standby board is specifically the master device.

[0076] Further, after receiving the second detection message, the detection module in the standby board obtains the first role information therefrom. Based on the first role information, the detection module again obtains the role information of the board from the local or driver module. For example, the second role information, which may be specifically the main device. The detection module generates a second response message and sends it to the main board.

[0077] The detection module in the mainboard receives the second response message.

[0078] Step 150: When the second role information included in the second response message is the same as the second role information included in the first response message, it is determined that a master and slave board role conflict has occurred in the first frame, and corresponding processing is performed on the master and slave boards.

[0079] Specifically, according to the description of step 140, after receiving the second response message, the mainboard obtains the second role information therefrom. Since the first role information is the master device, the second role information is also the master device, and the second role information included in the second response message is the same as the second role information included in the first response message, the mainboard determines that a master-slave board role conflict has occurred in the first frame.

[0080] Since a role conflict between the master and standby boards has occurred in the first frame, the main board performs corresponding processing on itself and the standby board.

[0081] It can be understood that after the main board sends detection messages multiple times and receives response messages sent by the standby board, and the role information included in the multiple response messages sent by the standby board is the same as the role information of the main board itself, the main board determines that a role conflict between the main and standby boards has occurred in the frame.

[0082] Furthermore, in this step, the detection module in the mainboard determines that a role conflict between the master and standby boards has occurred in the first frame according to the second role information included in the second response message and the second role information included in the first response message.

[0083] Furthermore, in this step, the detection module can also determine whether a role conflict between the master and standby boards occurs in the first frame according to the multiple information.

[0084] The detection module determines whether the health data of the standby board exceeds the health data of the main board; if it exceeds, the detection module determines whether the running time after identifying the standby board as the main board is not 0; if it is not 0, the detection module determines whether there is already a main board in the slot indicated by the slot number based on the slot number of the main board to which the board sent by the standby board belongs; if the main board is in the slot indicated by the slot number, it is determined that the standby board has been upgraded to the main board, and a master-standby board role conflict occurs in the first frame.

[0085] In the above steps, the mainboard sends detection messages twice to determine that the active and standby board roles have been restarted in the first frame. In actual applications, the number of times the mainboard sends detection messages is not limited to twice and can be determined according to the current network environment.

[0086] In the above steps, the main board and the standby board can exchange detection and response messages with each other through the mbus channel.

[0087] Therefore, by applying the detection method provided in the present application, the main board sends a first detection message to the standby board, and the first detection message includes the first role information of the main board; the main board receives a first response message sent by the standby board based on the first role information, and the first response message includes the second role information of the standby board; when it is determined that a suspected conflict in the roles of the master and standby boards occurs in the first frame based on the first role information and the second role information, the main board sends a second detection message to the standby board, and the second detection message includes the first role information; the main board receives a second response message sent by the standby board based on the first role information, and the second response message includes the second role information; when the second role information included in the second response message is the same as the second role information included in the first response message, the main board determines that a conflict in the roles of the master and standby boards has occurred in the first frame, and performs corresponding processing on the master and standby boards.

[0088] In this way, the master and slave boards can interactively detect and respond to messages at the software level to determine whether there is a role conflict between the master and slave boards in the frame. This solves the problem that the system in the frame cannot detect the dual-master and dual-standby status of the boards through software and hardware, which seriously affects the business functions. It realizes the timely detection and resolution of the role conflict between the master and slave boards, ensuring the normal operation of the system and reducing hidden dangers.

[0089] Optionally, in step 150 of the embodiment of the present application, the main board performs corresponding processing on the main and standby boards as follows:

[0090] Specifically, the main board generates a first notification message and sends the first notification message to the standby board through the mbus channel. After receiving the first notification message, the standby board upgrades itself to a new main board. At the same time, the standby board generates a first isolation message, and sends the first isolation message to other boards in the first frame except the original main board. After receiving the first isolation message, other boards shield subsequent messages sent by the original main board, so that the original main board forms an island to avoid interfering with other parts of the system.

[0091] The motherboard reboots itself.

[0092] Furthermore, the detection module in the main board generates a first notification message and sends the first notification message to the standby board through the mbus channel. After receiving the first notification message, the detection module in the standby board upgrades its own board to the main board and notifies the driver module in the standby board to perform an isolation operation. The driver module generates a first isolation message and sends the first isolation message to other boards in the first frame.

[0093] The detection method provided in the examples of the present application is described in detail below. Figure 2 , Figure 2 A flow chart of another detection method provided in an embodiment of the present application. The method is applied to a spare board, and the detection method provided in an embodiment of the present application may include the following steps.

[0094] Step 210: Receive a first detection message sent by the mainboard, where the first detection message includes first role information of the mainboard.

[0095] Specifically, the mainboard is in a first frame, and the first frame also includes a standby board. The mainboard generates a first detection message, and the first detection message includes first role information of the mainboard. The first role information can specifically be a master device.

[0096] The main board sends a first detection message to the standby board.

[0097] After receiving the first detection message, the standby board obtains the first role information therefrom.

[0098] Further, in the embodiment of the present application, the sending of the first detection message by the main board to the standby board may be triggered at different times, which has been described in detail in the above embodiment and will not be repeated here.

[0099] Furthermore, in the embodiment of the present application, the standby board includes a detection module and a driving module. The functions of the above two modules are the same as those of the detection module and the driving module included in the main board, and are not described in detail here.

[0100] For example, after the standby board is powered on, the detection module is initialized. The detection module records the role information of the board and the slot number of the mainboard to which the board belongs, for example, master device, slot02. At the same time, the detection module obtains the hardware-related information of the board from the driver module. The hardware-related information includes the slot number of the mainboard to which the board belongs and the in-place indication of the board.

[0101] After receiving the first detection message, the detection module in the standby board obtains the first role information therefrom.

[0102] Furthermore, the first detection message also includes the health data of the board, the slot number of the board, the slot number of the mainboard to which the board belongs, and the running time of the board as the mainboard. The mainboard sends the above information to the standby board, and then obtains the information corresponding to the standby board, so that the mainboard can understand the running status of the standby board.

[0103] The above information can be obtained by the detection module in the mainboard from the driver module in the mainboard.

[0104] Step 220: Acquire the second role information of the standby board according to the first role information.

[0105] Specifically, according to the description of step 210, after the standby board obtains the first role information, it obtains its own second role information according to the first role information.

[0106] Further, after receiving the first detection message, the detection module in the standby board obtains the first role information from it. According to the first role information, the detection module obtains the role information of the board from the local or driver module. For example, the second role information, the second role information can be specifically the master device.

[0107] Step 230: Send a first response message to the main board, where the first response message includes the second role information of the standby board.

[0108] Specifically, according to the description of step 220, after the standby board obtains its own second role information, it generates a first response message, and the first response message includes the second role information of the standby board.

[0109] The standby board sends a first response message to the main board.

[0110] Furthermore, the detection module generates a first response message and sends it to the main board.

[0111] In the embodiment of the present application, the first response message also includes the health data of the board, the slot number of the board, the slot number of the mainboard to which the board belongs, and the running time of the board as the mainboard. The standby board sends the above information to the mainboard, so that the mainboard obtains the above information, so that the mainboard can understand the running status of the standby board.

[0112] The above information can be obtained by the detection module from the driving module.

[0113] Step 240: Receive a second detection message sent by the mainboard, where the second detection message includes the first role information of the mainboard.

[0114] Specifically, according to the description of step 230, after receiving the first response message, the mainboard obtains the second role information therefrom. Since the first role information is the master device, the second role information is also the master device, therefore, the mainboard determines that there is a suspected conflict between the master and standby board roles in the first frame based on the first role information and the second role information.

[0115] The main board sends a second detection message to the standby board again, where the second detection message includes the first role information. The second detection message and the first detection message may be the same message.

[0116] After receiving the second detection message, the standby board obtains the first role information therefrom.

[0117] It is understandable that since the main board sends the detection message for the first time and receives the response message sent by the standby board, in this step, the main board does not first determine whether a master-slave board role conflict has occurred in the first frame. After multiple verifications, the main board then determines whether a master-slave board role conflict has occurred in the first frame to avoid false alarms.

[0118] Furthermore, since the mainboard determines that a suspected conflict of the roles of the master and standby boards has occurred in the first frame, at this time, the period of the mainboard sending the second detection message will be shortened to determine as soon as possible whether a conflict of the roles of the master and standby boards has occurred in the first frame. For example, the period of the mainboard sending the first detection message is 1 minute, and the period of the mainboard sending the second detection message is 1 second.

[0119] Furthermore, in this step, the detection module in the mainboard determines that a suspected conflict between the roles of the primary and standby boards occurs in the first frame according to the first role information and the second role information. The detection module generates and sends a second detection message to the standby board again.

[0120] After receiving the second detection message, the detection module in the standby board obtains the first role information therefrom.

[0121] Step 250: Send a second response message to the main board, where the second response message includes the second role information of the standby board.

[0122] Specifically, according to the description of step 240, after the standby board obtains the first role information, it obtains its second role information again according to the first role information and generates a second response message. The second response message includes the second role information of the standby board.

[0123] The standby board sends a second response message to the main board.

[0124] In the embodiment of the present application, the second role information obtained by the standby board is specifically the master device.

[0125] Further, after receiving the second detection message, the detection module in the standby board obtains the first role information therefrom. Based on the first role information, the detection module again obtains the role information of the board from the local or driver module. For example, the second role information, which may be specifically the main device. The detection module generates a second response message and sends it to the main board.

[0126] The detection module in the mainboard receives the second response message.

[0127] It is understandable that after the mainboard receives the second response message, the processing of the second response message can refer to the description of step 150 in the above embodiment, which will not be repeated here.

[0128] In an embodiment of the present application, the mainboard determines that a master-slave board role conflict has occurred in the first frame by sending detection messages twice. In actual applications, the number of times the mainboard sends detection messages is not limited to twice and can be determined according to the current network environment.

[0129] The main board and the standby board can interact with each other through the mbus channel to detect and respond to messages.

[0130] Therefore, by applying the detection method provided in the present application, the main board sends a first detection message to the standby board, and the first detection message includes the first role information of the main board; the main board receives a first response message sent by the standby board based on the first role information, and the first response message includes the second role information of the standby board; when it is determined that a suspected conflict in the roles of the master and standby boards occurs in the first frame based on the first role information and the second role information, the main board sends a second detection message to the standby board, and the second detection message includes the first role information; the main board receives a second response message sent by the standby board based on the first role information, and the second response message includes the second role information; when the second role information included in the second response message is the same as the second role information included in the first response message, the main board determines that a conflict in the roles of the master and standby boards has occurred in the first frame, and performs corresponding processing on the master and standby boards.

[0131] In this way, the master and slave boards can interactively detect and respond to messages at the software level to determine whether there is a role conflict between the master and slave boards in the frame. This solves the problem that the system in the frame cannot detect the dual-master and dual-standby status of the boards through software and hardware, which seriously affects the business functions. It realizes the timely detection and resolution of the role conflict between the master and slave boards, ensuring the normal operation of the system and reducing hidden dangers.

[0132] Optionally, the embodiment of the present application also includes a process in which after the mainboard determines that a role conflict between a primary and a standby board has occurred in the first frame, the mainboard restarts itself and sends a notification message to the standby board.

[0133] Specifically, the main board generates a first notification message and sends it to the spare board through the mbus channel. The main board restarts itself and downgrades to a new spare board. After receiving the first notification message, the spare board upgrades itself to a new main board. The new main board generates a first isolation message and sends the first isolation message to other boards in the first frame except the new spare board. After receiving the first isolation message, other boards shield subsequent messages sent by the original main board so that the original main board forms an island to avoid interfering with other parts of the system.

[0134] Furthermore, the detection module in the main board generates a first notification message and sends the first notification message to the standby board through the mbus channel. After receiving the first notification message, the detection module in the standby board upgrades its own board to the main board and notifies the driver module in the standby board to perform an isolation operation. The driver module generates a first isolation message and sends the first isolation message to other boards in the first frame.

[0135] Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, the process further includes sending a notification to the standby board after the first frame senses that the main board is separated from the first frame.

[0136] Specifically, when the hardware system in the first frame senses that the mainboard is separated from the first frame, the hardware system in the first frame reports the mainboard separation event to the software platform in the first frame. The software platform closes the communication channel of the mainboard, and at the same time, the software platform generates a first notification message and sends a second notification message to the standby board. After receiving the first notification message, the standby board determines that the mainboard has separated from the first frame according to the first notification message. The standby board upgrades itself to a new mainboard.

[0137] The new mainboard generates a second isolation message and sends the second isolation message to other boards except the original mainboard in the first frame. After receiving the second isolation message, other boards shield subsequent messages sent by the original mainboard, so that the original mainboard forms an island to avoid interfering with other parts of the system.

[0138] Furthermore, the hardware system in the first frame can detect the plug-in status of each board, and the hardware system updates the in-place indication of each board according to the plug-in status of each board.

[0139] After receiving the second notification message, the detection module in the standby board determines that the mainboard has been separated from the first frame according to the second notification message. The detection module upgrades itself to a new mainboard and generates a second isolation message. The detection module sends the second isolation message to other boards except the original mainboard in the first frame. After receiving the second isolation message, other boards shield subsequent messages sent by the original mainboard, so that the original mainboard forms an island to avoid interfering with other parts of the system.

[0140] Optionally, after the main board is restarted, the new main board also performs a process of releasing the isolation operation.

[0141] Specifically, when the main board is restarted, the main board is downgraded to the new standby board, and the standby board is upgraded to the new main board. The new main board detects whether its current version is the same as the current version of the new standby board. The new main board and the new standby board can exchange query messages through the mbus channel to clarify whether their current versions are the same as the current version of the other end.

[0142] If they are the same, the new main board sends a release isolation message to other boards in the first frame except the new standby board.

[0143] Furthermore, the new mainboard also includes a version checking module. The version checking module in the new mainboard obtains the configured version information from the local. The new standby board also includes a version checking module. After the new standby board is restarted, the version checking module in the new standby board obtains the configured version information from the local.

[0144] The version check module in the new main board sends a query message to the new standby board through the mbus channel. The query message may include the version information of the new main board configuration, so that the new standby board can feedback its current version. After the version check module in the new standby board obtains the version information of its own configuration, it sends a response message to the new main board. The response message includes the version information of the new standby board configuration.

[0145] After the version check module in the new main board obtains the current version of the new standby board configuration, it compares it with its own current version. If they are the same, the version check module generates a release isolation message and sends it to other boards in the first frame through the mbus channel.

[0146] Optionally, after the mainboard is restarted, the new mainboard also performs a process of comparing the current health data of the new main and standby boards.

[0147] Specifically, when the main board is restarted, the main board is downgraded to a new standby board, and the standby board is upgraded to a new main board. The new main board checks its own current health status and the current health status of the new standby board.

[0148] If the current health data of the new standby board exceeds the current health data of the new main board, the new main board generates a second notification message and sends the second notification message to the new standby board. After receiving the second notification message, the new standby board upgrades itself to the main board.

[0149] The new main board is downgraded to a spare board.

[0150] If the current health data of the new standby board does not exceed the current health data of the new main board, the new main board maintains the role of the current main board.

[0151] It should be noted that, depending on the characteristics of different products, the active / standby role switch may not be triggered by comparing health data. For example, the user may be prompted to switch between active and standby roles by printing a log, or a customized switching method may be used to switch between active and standby roles (for example, the active / standby role switch is performed after the new standby board is restarted).

[0152] Furthermore, after the new standby board is restarted, the detection module in the new standby board is initialized. The detection module records the role information of the board and the slot number of the motherboard to which the board belongs, for example, standby device, slot02. At the same time, the detection module obtains the hardware related information of the board from the driver module.

[0153] Furthermore, the detection module also obtains the health data of the board from the driver module. After the new main board senses that the new standby board is restarted and inserted into the first frame, the new main board can interact with the new standby board through the mbus channel to detect and respond to messages, thereby obtaining the current health data of the new standby board. The process of interactive detection and response messages between the new main and standby boards is similar to steps 210 to 250 in the embodiment, and will not be repeated here.

[0154] After the detection module obtains the current health data of the new standby board, it compares its own current health data with the current health data of the new standby board. If its own current health data exceeds the current health data of the new standby board, the detection module maintains the current main board role.

[0155] If the current health data of the detection module itself does not exceed the current health data of the new standby board, the detection module generates a second notification message and sends the second notification message to the new standby board. At the same time, the detection module downgrades itself to a standby board.

[0156] After receiving the second notification message, the new standby board upgrades itself to the main board according to the second notification message.
