[0042] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0043] At present, there are three main ways for a computer to view the hard disk sequence: 1) Before entering the operating system, the firmware identifies and displays the hard disk type and sequence. 2) After entering the operating system, the hard disk type and sequence are displayed under the operating system. 3) In the BMC monitoring and management interface, the hard disk type and sequence are displayed. Due to the diversity of hard disk configurations and the different mechanisms for obtaining disk sequences in the above three methods, there are certain differences in the hard disk sequences obtained by users in different ways. There may be solid-state drives, NVME hard drives, mechanical hard drives, or solid-state drives, mechanical hard drives, NVME hard drives, or NVME hard drives, solid-state drives, mechanical hard drives, etc. in different orders. It brings inconvenience to users during use and maintenance. To this end, the present application provides a hard disk display solution that can unify the order of multiple types of hard disks, so that the hard disks are displayed in a unified order under different hard disk viewing methods.

[0044] See also Figure 1 As shown, the embodiment of the present application discloses a hard disk display method, including:

[0045] Step S11: respectively obtain the physical layer topology information and disk sequence of each type of hard disk installed in the server.

[0046] In a specific implementation manner, the embodiment of the present application can obtain the physical layer topology information and disk sequence of the NVME hard disk from the CPU through the BMC and through the I2C or LPC bus; obtain the physical layer topology information and disk sequence of the SAS / SATA hard disk from the RAID (Redundant Arrays of Independent Disks) or SAS chip through the BMC and through the I2C bus; wherein the SAS / SATA hard disk includes a solid-state hard disk and a mechanical hard disk. Among them, the physical layer topology information of the NVME hard disk is obtained through the PCIE bus protocol, including information such as the type, quantity, and disk sequence of the hard disk. The disk sequence can be the serial number under this type of hard disk, for example, NVME0-NVME1. That is, the embodiment of the present application collects the physical layer topology information and disk sequence of the hard disk by the BMC.

[0047] It should be pointed out that hard disks can be divided into multiple types from different dimensions. For example, according to the interface protocol, they can be divided into NVME hard disks of PCIE protocol and SAS / SATA hard disks corresponding to SAS / SATA interface. SAS / SATA hard disks can be divided into solid state hard disks and mechanical hard disks according to the process. The embodiment of the present application provides a hard disk display solution including NVME hard disks, and SAS / SATA hard disks including solid state hard disks and mechanical hard disks. It can be understood that in other implementations, it is not limited to the aforementioned types of hard disks.

[0048] Step S12: generating overall topology information corresponding to each type of hard disk at the control layer based on the physical layer topology information, the disk sequence and the preset hard disk type arrangement order.

[0049] In a specific implementation, the embodiment of the present application can obtain the hard disk type arrangement order sent by the user terminal to obtain the preset hard disk type arrangement order, or read the default hard disk type arrangement order to obtain the preset hard disk type arrangement order.

[0050] That is, the hard disk type arrangement order in the present application can be specified by the user or configured by default. In addition, the overall topology information includes the hard disk type, disk sequence, and type arrangement order.

[0051] Step S13: when any hard disk viewing command is obtained, the overall topology information is returned to display the types and disk sequences of the hard disks installed in the server in the corresponding interface in the preset hard disk type arrangement order.

[0052] In a specific implementation, when a hard disk viewing command sent by the firmware, operating system, or BMC monitoring management terminal is obtained, the overall topology information is returned to display the type and disk sequence of the hard disk installed on the server in the corresponding interface in the preset hard disk type arrangement order.

[0053] Furthermore, the embodiment of the present application can also periodically obtain the physical layer topology information and disk sequence of each type of hard disk installed in the server; based on the physical layer topology information, the disk sequence and the preset hard disk type arrangement order, the control layer generates the overall topology information corresponding to each type of hard disk in real time. That is, the embodiment of the present application can update the overall topology information in real time.

[0054] In addition, the embodiment of the present application can obtain the fault information of various types of hard disks installed in the server in real time, and report the fault information in real time.

[0055] In a specific implementation, the fault information of the NVME hard disk is obtained from the CPU through the I2C or LPC bus; the fault information of the SAS / SATA hard disk is obtained from the RAID or SAS chip through the I2C bus. In a specific implementation, the BMC obtains the fault information of the NVME hard disk from the CPU through the I2C or LPC bus; the fault information of the SAS / SATA hard disk is obtained from the RAID or SAS chip through the I2C bus.

[0056] Furthermore, the fault information of the NVME hard disk can be obtained from the CPU via the I2C or LPC bus at regular intervals; the fault information of the SAS / SATA hard disk can be obtained from the RAID or SAS chip via the I2C bus. In this way, the fault information of the hard disk can be obtained in real time.

[0057] Furthermore, the embodiment of the present application can partition the hard disk of the server based on the overall topology information to obtain multiple virtual partitions, and provide storage services for different businesses based on different virtual partitions. That is, hard disks can be configured in batches to provide storage services for different businesses.

[0058] It should be pointed out that the hard disk display method provided in the embodiment of the present application is applied to the control layer, and the control layer can be placed in the hard disk management software service.

[0059] It can be seen that the embodiment of the present application first obtains the physical layer topology information and disk sequence of each type of hard disk equipped on the server, and then generates the overall topology information corresponding to each type of hard disk in the control layer based on the physical layer topology information, the disk sequence and the preset hard disk type arrangement order. When any hard disk viewing command is obtained, the overall topology information is returned to display the type and disk sequence of the hard disk equipped on the server in the corresponding interface in the preset hard disk type arrangement order. That is, the embodiment of the present application generates the overall topology information of each type of hard disk in the control layer based on the physical layer topology information and disk sequence of each type of hard disk equipped on the server. In this way, when any hard disk viewing command is obtained, the overall topology information is returned, which can unify the order of multiple types of hard disks, so that the hard disks are displayed in a unified order under different hard disk viewing methods.

[0060] Below, we take a server equipped with three types of hard disks, a total of 6. They are 2 NVME hard disks, 2 SSDs (SAS / SATA solid state drives), and 2 SAS / SATA (SAS / SATA mechanical hard disks) as an example to describe this solution in detail: For example, see Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the hard disk disclosed in the embodiment of this application. BMC collects information of all hard disks: Among them, NVME hard disks belong to PCIE devices, and BMC obtains NVME hard disk topology and disk sequence from CPU through I2C / LPC and other buses. SSD / SAS / SATA hard disks belong to storage devices, and BMC obtains hard disk topology and disk sequence from RAID / SAS chip through I2C bus. After obtaining all hard disk topologies and disk sequences through BMC, they are mapped to control layer topology in the control layer. See Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3A schematic diagram of hard disk mapping between a control layer and a physical layer provided for an embodiment of the present application, wherein the physical layer is the actual hard disk configuration, and the control layer is the mapping relationship of the hard disk topology, wherein after the control layer obtains the hard disk topology information, it is arranged in a certain order, and the order can be customized according to user needs, such as SSD-NVM E-SAS / SATA order, to generate overall topology information. In various hard disk sorting display modes, the whole machine hard disk topology information is uniformly obtained from the control layer to ensure that the hard disk order is consistent, and the display order of the final display interface is SSD0-SSD1-NVME0-NVME1-SAS / SATA0-SAS / SATA1. In addition, the control layer can also monitor the hard disk topology status in real time, quickly and timely feedback the fault point according to the actual situation, update the topology information, and facilitate user viewing and maintenance. The control layer topology can facilitate users to manage the computer hard disk topology.
