A server failure determination method, system, apparatus, and medium

Abstract

The application discloses a kind of server fault determination method, system, device and medium, it is related to server fault determination field, when considering when server occurs hardware failure, hardware failure corresponding hardware failure information is transmitted to HMC, but if HMC fails, hardware failure information cannot be collected, leading to the hardware failure of server cannot be found in time, therefore, in the present application, whether HMC occurs failure is judged by processor, if determining that HMC has not occurred failure, control itself and HMC connection, the hardware failure information of server transmitted to HMC can be acquired in time and the fault type of the server of hardware failure information corresponding hardware failure information is determined.And it is more accurate to acquire the hardware failure information of server from HMC than to acquire the hardware failure information of server by AIX operating system.

Claims

1. A method of server failure determination, the method comprising: Applied to processors, including: Obtain information corresponding to the fault status of HMC, parse the obtained information, and determine whether HMC has malfunctioned; If it is determined that the HMC is not faulty, the system controls itself to connect to the HMC, obtains the hardware fault information transmitted by the server to the HMC when a fault occurs, and determines the fault type of the server based on the hardware fault information. Specifically, when the hardware fault information includes first hardware fault information and second hardware fault information, the system receives the first hardware fault information sent by the HMC through a first preset protocol and obtains the second hardware fault information sent by the HMC through a second preset protocol. The first hardware fault information characterizes the hardware fault of the server in a first dimension, and the second hardware fault information characterizes the hardware fault of the server in a second dimension. The system then determines whether the first and second hardware fault information conform to a preset merging rule. If so, the first and second hardware fault information are merged, and the fault type of the server is determined based on the first and second hardware fault information. After determining the fault type of the server, a corresponding alarm is issued through the alarm module, and the information is stored in the database. If the HMC is determined to be faulty, the control alarm module will issue an alarm and store the fault in the database.

2. The server failure determination method of claim 1, wherein, Determining whether the HMC is faulty includes: Determine whether the HMC fault information sent by the HMC has been received; If so, then the HMC is determined to be faulty; If not, then the HMC is determined not to be faulty.

3. The server fault determination method as described in claim 1, characterized in that, Determining whether the HMC is faulty includes: Determine whether the received HMC status information sent by the HMC is the preset status information; If so, then the HMC is determined not to be faulty; If not, then the HMC is determined to be faulty.

4. The server fault determination method as described in claim 1, characterized in that, When the number of HMCs is N, the N HMCs include: 1 master HMC and N-1 slave HMCs, where the N-1 slave HMCs are all backup redundancies of the master HMC, and N is an integer not greater than 2; determining whether an HMC has failed includes: Determine whether all N HMCs have failed; If so, then the HMC is determined to be faulty.

5. The server fault determination method as described in claim 1, characterized in that, Determining whether the first hardware fault information and the second hardware fault information conform to a preset merging rule includes: Determine the first fault ID information corresponding to the first hardware fault information; Determine the second fault ID information corresponding to the second hardware fault information; Determine whether the first fault ID information and the second fault ID information are the same; If so, then the first hardware fault information and the second hardware fault information are determined to conform to the preset merging rule; If not, then the first hardware fault information and the second hardware fault information are determined to not conform to the preset merging rule.

6. A server fault determination system, characterized in that, include: The judgment unit is used to obtain information corresponding to the fault status of HMC, parse the obtained information, and determine whether HMC has a fault. The acquisition unit is configured to, if the judgment unit determines that the HMC is not faulty, control itself to connect to the HMC and acquire hardware fault information transmitted by the server to the HMC during a fault, and determine the fault type of the server based on the hardware fault information; wherein, when the hardware fault information includes first hardware fault information and second hardware fault information, the acquisition unit receives the first hardware fault information sent by the HMC through a first preset protocol and acquires the second hardware fault information sent by the HMC through a second preset protocol, wherein the first hardware fault information characterizes the hardware fault of the server in a first dimension and the second hardware fault information characterizes the hardware fault of the server in a second dimension; determine whether the first hardware fault information and the second hardware fault information conform to a preset merging rule; if so, merge the first hardware fault information and the second hardware fault information, and determine the fault type of the server based on the first hardware fault information and the second hardware fault information; after determining the fault type of the server, issue a corresponding alarm through an alarm module and store the information in a database; if the judgment unit determines that the HMC is faulty, control the alarm module to issue an alarm and store the fault in the database.

7. A server fault determination device, characterized in that, include: Memory, used to store computer programs and collected fault information; A processor, configured to implement the steps of the server fault determination method as described in any one of claims 1 to 5 when executing the computer program.

8. A computer-readable storage medium, characterized in that, The computer-readable storage medium stores a computer program that, when executed by a processor, implements the steps of the server fault determination method as described in any one of claims 1 to 5.
