Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of computer technology, and in particular to a server disk performance testing method, device, equipment and storage medium. Background Art

[0002] Currently, when a disk in a server is tested for performance, the test is usually performed using a FIO (Flexible I / O Tester, an open source tool for testing storage I / O performance) disk performance test tool pre-installed in the server's Linux (an open source operating system) operating system.

[0003] Moreover, when performing disk performance testing through the FIO disk performance testing tool, relevant performance testing parameters are usually set manually, such as rw (read / write, read / write mode parameters), bs (block size of a single I / O operation), numjobs (number of threads in a test task) and other parameters, so as to write an FIO performance testing script and run the FIO performance testing script in the Linux operating system of the server, so that the testing tool simulates actual or specific workloads, and obtains performance testing results under different performance testing parameters, such as IOPS (Input / Output Operations Per Second, i.e., the number of read / write (I / O) operations per second), throughput, latency and other performance testing results, thereby evaluating the performance of the disk in different working scenarios.

[0004] However, the disk performance test method performed in the server's operating system through the above-mentioned test tool relies on the operation and maintenance / testing / technical engineer to log in to the server's operating system to operate, and the engineer needs to manually input the performance test parameters required by the test tool, which increases the labor cost and time cost. In addition, since different performance test parameters represent disk throughput, latency and other information under different circumstances, they need to be set according to the actual business situation / system parameters to ensure that the disk performance test can simulate and represent the actual situation when the business is running, thereby improving the credibility of the FIO disk performance test. However, the acquisition of the current actual business situation and system parameters requires engineers to issue commands in the operating system respectively and the BMC communicates with the raid card components to obtain them, and then hand them over to professional component / system engineers for analysis. Since the current actual business situation and the acquisition of system parameters are not related, the difficulty of selecting disk performance test parameters is increased.

[0005] In addition, because the traditional parameter setting method requires logging into the server's operating system, such as using a keyboard and mouse physically connected to the server or logging in through the BMC (Baseboard Management Controller) remote desktop function, batch FIO disk performance testing operations cannot be implemented, which increases the difficulty of server disk batch performance testing. Summary of the invention

[0006] In view of this, the purpose of this application is to provide a server disk performance test method, device, equipment and storage medium, which can realize automated disk performance testing, save labor costs and time costs, and avoid distortion of performance test results caused by inaccurate manual parameter settings, improve the credibility of test results, and realize batch disk performance testing, thereby improving test efficiency.

[0053] 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.

[0054] The present application embodiment discloses a server disk performance test method, which is applied to a basic management controller in a server. Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:

[0055] Step S11: establishing a communication connection with the operating system of the server based on the secure shell protocol.

[0056] It should be noted that the server disk performance test solution proposed in this application is applied to the basic management controller (i.e., BMC) in the server, and when the server disk performance test is required, a communication connection with the server's operating system (OS) is first established through the secure shell protocol (SSH, Secure Shell), that is, the BMC and the server's operating system communicate through the SSH protocol. The operating system can be a Linux operating system.

[0057] In a specific implementation, the communication connection established with the operating system of the server based on the secure shell protocol may specifically include: establishing a connection with the server and obtaining the identity information of the server; authenticating the server based on the identity information, and if the server identity authentication passes, establishing a communication connection with the operating system of the server through the secure shell protocol. In this embodiment, a connection between the BMC and the server may be established first, and then the identity information of the server may be obtained, such as the user name and password for logging into the server, and then the server may be authenticated based on the obtained identity information. If the server identity authentication passes, it indicates that the logged-in user is a legitimate user, and at this time, a communication connection may be established with the operating system of the current server through the secure shell protocol. By verifying the identity of the server and establishing a communication connection with the operating system after the verification passes, the security of the disk performance test can be improved.

[0058] Step S12: sending a RAID configuration item parameter acquisition request for the FIO disk performance test tool in the operating system to the RAID card of the server to acquire RAID configuration item parameter information.

[0059] In this embodiment, after establishing a communication connection with the operating system of the server, further, a RAID configuration item parameter acquisition request for the FIO disk performance test tool in the current operating system is sent to the RAID (disk array, Redundant Arrays of Independent Disks) card of the server, thereby obtaining corresponding RAID configuration item parameter information, such as the write strategy in the RAID card, the RAID card array stripe value and other parameter information.

[0060] In a specific implementation, the sending of a RAID configuration item parameter acquisition request for the FIO disk performance test tool in the operating system to the RAID card of the server to obtain RAID configuration item parameter information may specifically include: sending a RAID configuration item parameter acquisition request for the FIO disk performance test tool in the operating system to the RAID card of the server through a preset command and based on the mctp over pcie protocol to obtain RAID configuration item parameter information; the preset command is a redfish command or an IPMI command. In this embodiment, see Figure 2As shown, a RAID configuration item parameter acquisition request for the FIO disk performance test tool in the current operating system can be sent to the RAID card of the server through a preset command, such as a redfish (a RESTful-based API) command or an IPMI (Intelligent Platform Management Interface) command and based on the mctp over pcie (implementing the MCTP (Peripheral Component Interconnect Express, a high-speed, point-to-point serial communication standard) protocol on the PCIe (Message-based Clean Touch Protocol, a message-based communication protocol) bus) protocol, thereby acquiring the RAID configuration item parameter information required by the FIO disk performance test tool.

[0061] In another specific implementation, the sending of a RAID configuration item parameter acquisition request for the FIO disk performance test tool in the operating system to the RAID card of the server to obtain RAID configuration item parameter information may specifically include: sending a RAID configuration item parameter acquisition request for the FIO disk performance test tool in the operating system to the RAID card of the server by calling the storlib library to obtain RAID configuration item parameter information. In this embodiment, see Figure 2 As shown, the RAID configuration item parameter acquisition request for the FIO disk performance test tool in the current operating system can be sent to the RAID card of the current server by calling the storlib (a library for Python), thereby obtaining the RAID configuration item parameter information required by the FIO disk performance test tool. The RAID configuration item parameter information includes but is not limited to the queue depth supported by the RAID card, write strategy (such as write-through WT, i.e. Write Through, write-back WB, i.e. Write Back, etc.), RAID strategy (such as RAID0 to 10, JBOD mode, etc.), and voltage and temperature of the RAID card.

[0062] Step S13: Use the pre-developed redfish command to transmit the FIO performance test script to the operating system and send a system configuration item parameter acquisition request and a disk I / O configuration item acquisition request for the FIO disk performance test tool, so as to run the FIO performance test script in the operating system and obtain system configuration item parameter information and disk I / O information during the execution of the FIO performance test script.

[0063] It should be pointed out that the present application pre-creates multiple redfish commands and configures corresponding functions for each redfish command, so as to use these redfish commands to implement disk performance testing. Specifically, after obtaining the RAID configuration item parameter information, the pre-developed first redfish command can be used to transmit the FIO performance test script to the current operating system (i.e., OS) so as to run the FIO performance test script in the current operating system, wherein the parameters in the FIO performance test script include but are not limited to rw, bs, numjobs and other parameters; then, a system configuration item parameter acquisition request for the FIO disk performance test tool is sent to the current operating system through the second redfish command, so as to obtain the system configuration item parameter information required by the FIO disk performance test tool, and then a disk I / O configuration item acquisition request for the FIO disk performance test tool is sent to the current operating system through the third redfish command, so as to obtain the disk I / O information during the execution of the FIO performance test script. Among them, the system configuration item parameter information includes but is not limited to the queue depth supported by the block device, whether the system supports IO merging and other information; the disk I / O information includes but is not limited to concurrent processes, block size, queue depth and other information when the disk is running.

[0064] In this embodiment, the method may further include: using a redfish command to send a request for obtaining the running result of the FIO performance test script to the operating system, so as to obtain the script running result after the operating system runs the FIO performance test script. Figure 2 As shown, the fourth preset redfish command can also be used to send a request for obtaining the running result of the FIO performance test script to the operating system of the server, so as to obtain the script running result after the operating system runs the FIO performance test script (that is, the test result generated after the initial FIO performance test script runs), and then the operating system can also return the script running result to the BMC. The script running result includes but is not limited to performance test results such as IOPS, throughput, and latency.

[0065] In addition, the method may further include: using a redfish command to send an execution progress acquisition request for the FIO performance test script to the operating system to obtain the real-time script execution progress during the operation of the FIO performance test script by the operating system. Figure 2 As shown, the fifth redfish command created in advance can also be used to send an execution progress acquisition request for the FIO performance test script to the operating system, thereby obtaining the real-time script execution progress of the operating system during the running of the FIO performance test script, and then the operating system can also return the real-time script execution progress to the BMC.

[0066] Step S14: Send a test parameter configuration file created based on the RAID configuration item parameter information, the system configuration item parameter information and the disk I / O information to the operating system, so that the FIO disk performance test tool performs a performance test on the disk in the server based on the parameter information in the test parameter configuration file to obtain a performance test result.

[0067] In this embodiment, after obtaining the system configuration item parameter information and the disk I / O information during the execution of the FIO performance test script, a test parameter configuration file can be automatically created based on the above RAID configuration item parameter information, the above system configuration item parameter information and the above disk I / O information, and then the file is sent to the operating system. After the operating system receives the above test parameter configuration file, the FIO disk performance test tool pre-installed in the system can be used to perform a performance test on the disk in the current server based on the parameter information in the above test parameter configuration file to obtain the corresponding performance test results.

[0068] In this embodiment, the process of obtaining the disk I / O information may also include: obtaining the disk I / O information during the execution of the FIO performance test script through a disk IO monitoring tool. For example, the disk I / O information during the execution of the FIO performance test script is obtained through the blktrace (block trace, a tracing tool for the block device I / O layer in the Linux kernel) tool, specifically obtaining the disk I / O information when the I / O reaches the block device layer (block layer); wherein the disk I / O information includes but is not limited to the read and write process name, process number, execution time, read and write physical block number, block size and other information, through which the disk I / O status can be known.

[0069] Correspondingly, the test parameter configuration file created based on the RAID configuration item parameter information, the system configuration item parameter information and the disk I / O information is sent to the operating system, which may specifically include: parsing the disk I / O information to obtain parsed I / O information; creating a test parameter configuration file based on the RAID configuration item parameter information, the system configuration item parameter information and the parsed I / O information, and sending the test parameter configuration file to the operating system. It should be pointed out that the blktrace tool collects a lot of disk I / O information, but only a part of it is needed for disk performance testing. Therefore, it is necessary to parse the disk I / O information to obtain information that can be used for disk performance testing, namely the parsed I / O information, and then create a test parameter configuration file based on the RAID configuration item parameter information, the system configuration item parameter information and the parsed I / O information, and send it to the server's operating system.

[0070] In a specific implementation, the creation of a test parameter configuration file based on the RAID configuration item parameter information, the system configuration item parameter information and the parsed I / O information may specifically include: determining whether there are identical configuration items in the RAID configuration item parameter information, the system configuration item parameter information and the parsed I / O information; if there are identical configuration items, determining the maximum / minimum parameter value from the parameter information corresponding to the identical configuration item according to a preset selection rule to obtain a target configuration item parameter value, and creating a test parameter configuration file based on the target configuration item parameter value and the parameter information of other configuration items in the RAID configuration item parameter information, the system configuration item parameter information and the parsed I / O information except the identical configuration item. In this embodiment, it is first determined whether there are the same configuration items in the RAID configuration item parameter information, the system configuration item parameter information and the parsed I / O information, such as the queue depth supported by the RAID in the RAID configuration item parameter information and the queue depth supported by the disk in the parsed I / O information both involve the queue depth configuration item. If there are the same configuration items, the maximum or minimum parameter value is determined from the parameter information corresponding to the same configuration item according to the preset selection rule, so as to obtain the target configuration item parameter value, for example, the queue depth parameter (i.e., iodepth) required by the FIO disk performance test tool is set to the minimum value of the queue depth supported by the Raid card and the disk; the numjobs (number of threads in the test task) parameter required by the FIO disk performance test tool is set to the maximum value of the queue depth of the Raid card and the disk response speed from the parsed I / O information; the block size (block size of a single I / O operation) parameter required by the FIO disk performance test tool is set to the minimum value of the block size in the parsed I / O information, the RAID configuration item parameter information and the system configuration item parameter information. Further, a test parameter configuration file is created based on the determined value and the parameter information of other configuration items except the same configuration item.

[0071] In another specific implementation, the creation of a test parameter configuration file based on the RAID configuration item parameter information, the system configuration item parameter information and the parsed I / O information may specifically include: inputting the RAID configuration item parameter information, the system configuration item parameter information and the parsed I / O information into a preset logical mapping table, so as to perform standardized matching on the parameter values ​​of each configuration item required by the FIO disk performance test tool according to the order of the input items recorded in the preset logical mapping table and the mapping relationship between the input items and the corresponding output items, and obtain a test parameter configuration file. In this embodiment, a logical mapping table is pre-created, and the mapping table records the input items and the corresponding output items, wherein the input items are the configuration items required by the FIO disk performance test tool, and the output items are the parameter values ​​of the corresponding input items. The data format and selection criteria of the parameter values ​​are also recorded in the logical mapping table, such as the queue depth parameter (iodepth) should be set to the minimum value of the queue depth supported by the Raid card and the disk. Through the preset logic mapping table, the parameter values ​​of various configuration items required by the FIO disk performance test tool can be automatically set in a function mapping manner, and the parameter values ​​can be standardized to ensure that the set parameter values ​​meet the calling requirements of the FIO disk performance test tool. It should be pointed out that the creation of the logic mapping table can be participated in by experienced system engineers, component engineers, and test engineers, and iteratively tuned, thereby improving the usability of the FIO disk performance test tool.

[0072] In addition, the server disk performance test method may further include: outputting the RAID configuration item parameter information, the system configuration item parameter information and the disk I / O information to the web interface of the basic management controller through a serial port connected to the basic management controller, so as to visualize the RAID configuration item parameter information, the system configuration item parameter information and the disk I / O information. Figure 2 As shown in the figure, in addition to saving the RAID configuration item parameter information, system configuration item parameter information and disk I / O information to the storage space inside the BMC, the RAID configuration item parameter information, system configuration item parameter information and disk I / O information can also be output to the BMC web interface through the serial port connected to the BMC, such as the UART interface of the BMC, so as to visualize the above information, so that engineers can more intuitively observe the disk IO throughput in real time and handle the abnormality in time when it is found.

[0073] It can be seen that the embodiment of the present application is applied to the BMC in the server, firstly establishes a communication connection with the operating system of the server based on the secure shell protocol, and then sends a RAID configuration item parameter acquisition request for the FIO disk performance test tool in the operating system to the RAID card of the server to obtain RAID configuration item parameter information, and then uses the pre-developed redfish command to transmit the FIO performance test script to the operating system and send a system configuration item parameter acquisition request and a disk I / O configuration item acquisition request for the FIO disk performance test tool, so as to run the FIO performance test script in the operating system, and obtain system configuration item parameter information and disk I / O information during the execution of the FIO performance test script, and finally sends a test parameter configuration file created based on the RAID configuration item parameter information, the system configuration item parameter information and the disk I / O information to the operating system, so that the FIO disk performance test tool performs a performance test on the disk in the server based on the parameter information in the test parameter configuration file to obtain a performance test result. In the embodiment of the present application, a communication connection is first established between the BMC and the operating system of the server through the secure shell protocol, thereby realizing data transmission between the BMC and the operating system of the server. When a disk performance test is required, a RAID configuration item parameter acquisition request is first sent to the RAID card to obtain the RAID configuration item parameter information. Then, the FIO performance test script is transmitted to the operating system through a preset redfish command to run the test script in the operating system, and a system configuration item parameter acquisition request is sent to the operating system to obtain the system configuration item parameter information. Then, a disk I / O configuration item acquisition request is sent to the operating system to obtain the disk I / O information during the execution of the FIO performance test script. Finally, based on the RAID configuration item parameter information, the system configuration item parameter information and the disk I / O information, the FIO performance test script is executed. O information creates a test parameter configuration file and sends it to the operating system to perform performance tests on the disks in the server based on the parameter information in the configuration file, thereby realizing automated disk performance testing and saving the manpower and time costs caused by manual parameter adjustment. In addition, since the automatic settings are made according to the actual business conditions of the server and the system hardware configuration, the distortion of performance test results caused by inaccurate manual parameter settings is avoided, the credibility of the test results is improved, and the engineers' analysis and judgment of system performance issues are enhanced. In addition, the redfish command is used to send configuration item parameter acquisition instructions related to the disk performance test, and the redfish command has concurrency, so it can perform disk performance tests on multiple servers at the same time, thereby realizing batch disk performance testing and improving test efficiency.

[0074] The present application embodiment discloses a specific server disk performance test method, which is applied to a basic management controller in a server. Figure 3 As shown, the method includes:

[0075] Step S21: Establishing a communication connection with the operating system of the server based on the secure shell protocol.

[0076] Step S22: Sending a RAID configuration item parameter acquisition request for the FIO disk performance test tool in the operating system to the RAID card of the server to acquire RAID configuration item parameter information.

[0077] Step S23: using a pre-developed redfish command to send a version acquisition request for the FIO disk performance test tool to the operating system of the server to obtain version information of the FIO disk performance test tool.

[0078] In this embodiment, after obtaining the RAID configuration item parameter information, a pre-developed redfish command is used to send a version acquisition request for the FIO disk performance test tool to the operating system of the current server, thereby obtaining the version information of the FIO disk performance test tool in the current operating system.

[0079] Step S24: determining whether the FIO disk performance test tool is the latest version based on the version information.

[0080] In this embodiment, after obtaining the version information of the FIO disk performance test tool, it is further determined based on the version information whether the running FIO disk performance test tool is the latest version.

[0081] Step S25: If the FIO disk performance test tool is the latest version, the FIO performance test script is transmitted to the operating system through the redfish command, and a system configuration item parameter acquisition request and a disk I / O configuration item acquisition request for the FIO disk performance test tool are sent to the operating system to run the FIO performance test script in the operating system and obtain system configuration item parameter information and disk I / O information during the execution of the FIO performance test script.

[0082] In this embodiment, if the FIO disk performance testing tool is the latest version, the FIO performance testing script is transmitted to the current operating system through another pre-created redfish command, and a system configuration item parameter acquisition request and a disk I / O configuration item acquisition request for the FIO disk performance testing tool are sent to the operating system, so as to run the FIO performance testing script in the operating system and obtain system configuration item parameter information and disk I / O information during the execution of the above-mentioned FIO performance testing script.

[0083] Step S26: Send a test parameter configuration file created based on the RAID configuration item parameter information, the system configuration item parameter information and the disk I / O information to the operating system, so that the FIO disk performance test tool performs a performance test on the disk in the server based on the parameter information in the test parameter configuration file to obtain a performance test result.

[0084] The server disk performance test method may further include: creating an automatic configuration parameter function switch in the basic management controller, and turning on the automatic configuration parameter function switch. In this embodiment, the automatic configuration parameter function can be turned on and off by switching the UART interface switch of the BMC, that is, the present application pre-creates an automatic configuration parameter function switch in the BMC, and turns on the switch before performing the disk performance test.

[0085] Correspondingly, the test parameter configuration file created based on the RAID configuration item parameter information, the system configuration item parameter information and the disk I / O information is sent to the operating system, which may specifically include: obtaining the current state of the automatic configuration parameter function switch to obtain the switch state; if the switch state indicates that the automatic configuration parameter function switch is turned on, the test parameter configuration file created based on the RAID configuration item parameter information, the system configuration item parameter information and the disk I / O information is sent to the operating system. In this embodiment, before generating the test parameter configuration file, the current state of the automatic configuration parameter function switch can be obtained to obtain the corresponding switch state. If the switch state indicates that the automatic configuration parameter function switch is turned on, a test parameter configuration file is created based on the RAID configuration item parameter information, the system configuration item parameter information and the disk I / O information, and sent to the operating system. When the parameters of the FIO disk performance test tool need to be manually set by a technician, the automatic configuration parameter function switch can be turned off first, and then the manual parameter setting can be performed. It can be seen that by setting the automatic configuration parameter function switch, not only manual parameter setting can be achieved, but also automatic parameter setting can be achieved through this solution, thereby meeting the diverse disk performance test requirements.

[0086] For more specific processing procedures of the above steps S21, S22, and S26, reference may be made to the corresponding contents disclosed in the aforementioned embodiments, which will not be described in detail here.

[0087] It can be seen that the embodiment of the present application first establishes a communication connection with the operating system of the server based on the secure shell protocol, and then sends a RAID configuration item parameter acquisition request for the FIO disk performance test tool in the operating system to the RAID card of the server to obtain RAID configuration item parameter information, and uses the pre-developed redfish command to send a version acquisition request for the FIO disk performance test tool to the operating system of the server to obtain the version information of the FIO disk performance test tool. Then, based on the version information, it is determined whether the FIO disk performance test tool is the latest version. If so, the FIO performance test script is transmitted to the operating system through the redfish command, and a system configuration item parameter acquisition request and a disk I / O configuration item acquisition request for the FIO disk performance test tool are sent to the operating system to run the FIO performance test script in the operating system, and obtain system configuration item parameter information and disk I / O information during the execution of the FIO performance test script. Finally, the test parameter configuration file created based on the RAID configuration item parameter information, the system configuration item parameter information and the disk I / O information is sent to the operating system to perform a performance test on the disk in the server. This application determines whether the FIO disk performance test tool is the latest version, and performs subsequent disk performance tests when it is the latest version. This can avoid errors caused by the unavailability of some functions when the FIO disk performance test tool is not the latest version, thereby improving the success rate of disk performance testing. In addition, this application implements communication between the operating system and the BMC through the SSH protocol, and can automatically obtain system configuration item parameters, thereby realizing automated disk performance testing, saving the manpower and time costs brought by manual parameter adjustment, and reducing FIO disk failures caused by FIO parameter settings not matching the hardware / system setting items, or not matching the actual business model. The distortion of disk performance test improves the credibility of FIO disk performance test results, thereby improving the accuracy of engineers' analysis and judgment of system performance problems; in addition, the disk performance test process of this solution is issued by BMC through redfish commands. Due to the concurrency characteristics of redfish, engineers can perform FIO disk performance tests on multiple servers at the same time, thereby improving the efficiency of FIO disk performance tests that require logging into the BMC remote desktop during traditional FIO tests. This helps engineers analyze the disk IO performance bottleneck of the server under specific business more quickly and accurately, so as to make corresponding optimizations later, such as hardware setting modifications, business model adjustments, etc.
