Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of computer technology, and more particularly to a server restart optimization method, system, device and storage medium. Background Art

[0002] At present, the server market is dominated by X86 architecture servers, among which Intel architecture series are the main ones, with a very high market share and a certain dominance in the market. However, the server market also needs to find some alternatives. One of the current alternatives is AMD's X86 CPU series. Although AMD's X86 CPU series has met the needs of users in terms of performance, it needs further development in terms of market and ecological environment adaptation.

[0003] At present, in the production process of AMD X86 servers, in order to ensure the quality of the products, it is necessary to simulate the worst use environment of the server, that is, to fully pressurize the main service components, and restart the server firmware BMC. However, during the test, the server host reset and restart problem will occur. The main reason for this problem is that during the operation of the server, some major components such as the CPU and memory / network card are in a full-pressure use environment. The BMC restart process will cause abnormal disturbances in the use of the CPU, such as the mutual influence of the interrelated parts of the hardware and the design disturbance of the software itself, which may cause the host reset and restart. Summary of the invention

[0021] A hardware shielding unit is used to temporarily block the interface transient response of the PCIE device VGA before the server restart command is issued;

When the server restart optimization program is executed by a processor, the steps of the server restart optimization method as described in any one of the above items are implemented.

[0037] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0045] The core of the present invention is to provide a server restart optimization method. In the prior art, in the production process of AMD X86 servers, in order to ensure the quality of the product, it is necessary to simulate the worst use environment of the server, that is, in the use environment where the main service components are fully pressurized, and restart the server firmware BMC. However, during the test, through the hardware link and the actual test environment observation, it is found that the host operating system outputs the frame buffer resolution of the ASTSoC PCIe 2D VGA (the main control chip of the server BMC is located at the interface of the PCIE device VGA) device, which will affect the abnormal disturbance of the CPU running at full pressure during the restart process, causing abnormal problems in the server host. Secondly, during the restart process, the server software BMC itself causes an abnormal disturbance part of a main startup component, that is, the server's memory. This is the server BMC sideECC feature (BMC's protection function for server memory), and it is also one of the protections of the server firmware for memory.

[0046] The server restart optimization method provided by the present invention mainly adopts a protective measure before the restart command is issued, that is, temporarily closing the transient response of the PCIE device VGA interface to maximize the interference during the CPU operation process. Note that it is a restrictive measure that is closed but not closed. Another protective measure is to take a temporary measure to expand the protection range of the VGA memory during the restart process. It can be seen that the present invention achieves the purpose of anti-interference through the combination of soft and hard shielding protection, so that the server can maintain a normal and stable state in an extreme use environment.

[0047] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the scheme of the present invention, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0050] S1: The control server runs in a full-stress test environment.

[0051] This step specifically includes: setting a full pressure test environment, controlling the server to run in the full pressure test environment, and initiating a BMC restart operation.

[0052] S2: Temporarily close the PCIE device VGA interface transient response before the server restart command is issued.

[0053] First, the firmware BMC of the control server starts the restart operation. When the firmware BMC of the server receives the restart command, the interface of the PCIE device VGA is closed for transient response.

[0054] S3: Temporarily expand the VGA memory protection range through settings during the server restart process.

[0055] First, expand the protection range of VGA memory. Then, monitor hardware abnormalities through the server firmware BMC. If no hardware abnormality occurs, end directly. If a hardware abnormality occurs, set the VGA memory protection range to the peak state.

[0056] This embodiment provides a server restart optimization method, which uses the server firmware BMC to shield abnormal disturbances of the server hardware before performing the restart action. At the same time, during the firmware BMC restart process, the interactive communication part between the BMC and the server host is shielded and restricted to the part that may cause abnormal interference. Through the shielding protection combining software and hardware, the purpose of anti-interference is achieved, so that the server can maintain normal operation and stable state in extreme usage environments.

[0062] Step 4: The server firmware starts to restart and temporarily expands the VGA memory protection range through settings.

[0063] Step 5: Check whether an abnormality occurs through the server firmware BMC. If a hardware abnormality is detected, go to step 6. If no hardware abnormality is detected, end the task directly.

[0064] Step 6: Further expand the VGA memory protection range by setting, set the VGA memory protection range to the peak state, and go to step 3.

[0065] This embodiment provides a server restart optimization method, which uses the server firmware BMC to shield abnormal disturbances of the server hardware before performing the restart action. At the same time, during the firmware BMC restart process, the interactive communication part between the BMC and the server host is shielded and restricted to the part that may cause abnormal interference. Through the shielding protection combining software and hardware, the purpose of anti-interference is achieved, so that the server can maintain normal operation and stable state in extreme usage environments.
