[0017] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present invention clearer, the technical solution of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0018] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the working scenario of the heat dissipation test mode in the temperature box of the prior art. Figure 1 As shown, the heat dissipation test engineer operates the temperature box to provide different ambient temperatures, and performs heat dissipation tests on the server under test at different ambient temperatures. The heat dissipation test engineer and the server under test perform human-computer interaction through the baseboard management controller (BMC) public interface.

[0019] Figure 2 FIG. 1 is a flow chart of the heat dissipation test mode of the temperature box in the prior art. Figure 2As shown, the ambient temperature around the server under test is changed by a temperature box, and the actual temperature value is detected by the temperature sensor of the server under test. The baseboard management controller (BMC) of the server under test controls the fan speed according to the heat dissipation strategy, and outputs test information such as fan speed and log information through the BMC public human-computer interaction interface.

[0020] Currently, the temperature chamber heat dissipation test has the following defects: 1) Expensive equipment and maintenance costs: Purchasing and maintaining a large temperature, humidity, and thermal shock test chamber requires considerable investment and high costs, which increases the economic burden on the company; 2) Operation and maintenance require professional knowledge: Improper operation and maintenance may lead to inaccurate test results and even equipment failure, so operating and maintaining the equipment requires certain professional knowledge and experience; 3) High energy consumption: In order to maintain high or low temperature environmental conditions, the equipment needs to consume a lot of energy, and long-term use may increase the operating costs of the enterprise; 4) There are specific requirements for test samples: Due to the particularity of the test environment, there are certain requirements for the shape, size, material, etc. of the test samples. It may be necessary to customize special test fixtures or samples; it increases the preparation time and cost of the test, and may also limit the use of certain samples; 5) Complex operation: Due to the large number of functions of the equipment, the operation is relatively complex and requires the reliance on professional operators. The automation level is low and the test efficiency is low. 6) Limitations of test scenarios: The temperature chamber mainly changes the ambient temperature around the server under test, and it is difficult to simulate and detect the heat dissipation of the server in various high-performance, high-density, and high-load operation application scenarios.

[0021] To this end, the embodiment of the present invention provides a server heat dissipation test method, device, electronic device and storage medium, which automatically sets the virtual temperature value of each temperature sensor of the server to be tested through a human-computer interaction input interface, outputs the observation information of the server to be tested through a human-computer interaction output interface and a common human-computer interaction interface of a motherboard management controller, and the observation information includes the pulse width modulation value of the fan of the server to be tested. Based on the observation information, the heat dissipation performance of the server to be tested is evaluated. The present invention has a high level of automation and strong human-computer interaction, can reduce the cost of heat dissipation testing, improve the efficiency, flexibility and adaptability of heat dissipation testing, and improve user experience.

[0022] Figure 3 The following is a flow chart of a server heat dissipation testing method provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 3As shown, a server heat dissipation test method is provided, which is applied to the motherboard management controller BMC of the server to be tested, and the server to be tested includes a human-computer interaction input interface, a human-computer interaction output interface and a BMC public human-computer interaction interface. The method includes the following steps: step 310 and step 320. The method flow steps are only used as a possible implementation of the present invention.

[0023] Step 310: input virtual temperature values ​​of each temperature sensor of the server to be tested through the human-computer interaction input interface.

[0024] Among them, the human-computer interaction input interface is used to convert the instructions and data input by the user into signals that the system can understand and process; the human-computer interaction input interface includes keyboard, mouse, touch screen, voice recognition device and gesture controller, etc. Through the human-computer interaction input interface, users can input commands, control devices, provide feedback and perform tasks, thereby realizing effective human-computer interaction.

[0025] Optionally, the human-computer interaction input interface includes an enable interface and a temperature control input interface.

[0026] Optionally, a startup instruction is obtained by using an enable interface, and a heat dissipation test mode under a normal temperature environment is started in response to the startup instruction.

[0027] Optionally, the virtual temperature value of each temperature sensor of the server to be tested is input through a temperature control input interface.

[0028] Optionally, a key temperature to be measured by each temperature sensor is determined, and a virtual temperature value is set according to the key temperature.

[0029] In some embodiments, the temperature sensors include: an air inlet temperature sensor, a graphics processing unit (GPU) temperature sensor, a central processing unit (CPU) temperature sensor, a memory temperature sensor, a platform controller hub (PCH) temperature sensor, a power supply unit (PSU) temperature sensor, a hard disk temperature sensor, and a peripheral component interconnect Express (PCIe) area temperature sensor.

[0030] Step 320: output observation information of the server under test through the human-computer interaction output interface and the common human-computer interaction interface of the mainboard management controller, the observation information including the pulse width modulation value of the fan of the server under test, and evaluate the heat dissipation performance of the server under test based on the observation information.

[0031] In some embodiments, the pulse width modulation value is calculated based on the virtual temperature value of each temperature sensor and the proportional integral differential heat dissipation strategy, and the pulse width modulation value is used to control the rotation speed of the fan of the server to be tested.

[0032] The core of the Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) cooling strategy is to adjust the control output (such as fan speed) to keep the server temperature within a predetermined range.

[0033] It should be noted that pulse width modulation (PWM) is a modulation technology that controls the output power or level by adjusting the pulse width of the signal (i.e. the high level duration of the switching signal).

[0034] Among them, the pulse width modulation PWM value refers to the time ratio of the high level (ON) and low level (OFF) in the PWM signal within a cycle, usually expressed as a duty cycle; the duty cycle refers to the ratio of the high level duration to the entire cycle time within a PWM cycle, usually expressed as a percentage.

[0035] Optionally, the observation information includes a PWM value of a global fan of the server to be tested; the PWM value of the global fan is used to control the rotation speed of the global fan.

[0036] The human-computer interaction output interface is used to convey information to users. Its function is to present the status, results or feedback of the server system under test to users in an easy-to-understand form. The human-computer interaction output interface includes display screens, speakers, indicator lights, etc., which can enable users to obtain the required information, make decisions and operate the system in a timely manner through vision, hearing or touch.

[0037] Optionally, the human-computer interaction output interface includes a status query interface and a PWM information query interface.

[0038] Optionally, the BMC comprehensive information includes BMC control information and BMC monitoring information.

[0039] FIG4 is a schematic diagram of a working scenario of a heat dissipation test mode under a normal temperature environment provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 4 As shown, in the heat dissipation test mode under normal temperature environment, the heat dissipation test engineer and the server under test perform human-computer interaction through the human-computer interaction interface and the BMC public interface.

[0040] It should be noted that the human-computer interaction interface supports multiple implementation methods, such as IPMI commands or redfish commands.

[0041] Figure 5 A flowchart of a heat dissipation test mode under normal temperature environment provided by an embodiment of the present invention.

[0042] like Figure 5 As shown, the virtual temperature value of each temperature sensor is set through the human-computer interaction input interface. The BMC adjusts the fan speed according to the virtual temperature value and the PID cooling strategy. The cooling test mode status and PWM under normal temperature environment are queried through the human-computer interaction output interface. The fan speed, duty cycle, sensor information and log information are queried through the BMC public human-computer interaction interface.

[0043] In the embodiment of the present invention, the virtual temperature value of each temperature sensor of the server to be tested is input through the human-computer interaction input interface, and the observation information of the server to be tested is output through the human-computer interaction output interface and the common human-computer interaction interface of the mainboard management controller. The observation information includes the pulse width modulation value of the fan of the server to be tested. Based on the observation information, the heat dissipation performance of the server to be tested is evaluated. The automation level is high and the human-computer interactivity is strong. The cost of heat dissipation testing can be reduced, the efficiency, flexibility and adaptability of heat dissipation testing can be improved, and the user experience can be improved.

[0044] In some embodiments, the human-computer interaction input interface includes an enable interface and a temperature control input interface; Input the virtual temperature value of each temperature sensor of the server to be tested through the human-computer interaction input interface, including: Through the temperature control input interface, the virtual temperature value of each temperature sensor of the server to be tested is input in the form of an automated script; Before inputting the virtual temperature value of each temperature sensor of the server to be tested through the human-computer interaction input interface, the following steps are also included: The function code of the heat dissipation test mode under normal temperature environment is embedded in the BMC, so that the BMC can directly obtain the virtual temperature value of each temperature sensor under the heat dissipation test mode under normal temperature environment; Obtaining a start command of a heat dissipation test mode under a normal temperature environment by using an enable interface, and starting the heat dissipation test mode under a normal temperature environment in response to the start command; After outputting the observation information of the server to be tested through the human-computer interaction output interface and the BMC public human-computer interaction interface, it also includes: Obtaining an exit command of the heat dissipation test mode under a normal temperature environment by using an enable interface, and exiting the heat dissipation test mode under a normal temperature environment in response to the exit command; Return to BMC polling to obtain the temperature value of each temperature sensor.

[0045] Table 1 is a design table of the enable interface of the thermal test mode under normal temperature environment.

[0046] Table 1 Design table of the enable interface of the thermal test mode under normal temperature environment

[0047] For example, based on the enable interface, the "Ipmitool raw 0x3C 0x3A 0xB3 0x01" command can be used to enable the heat dissipation test mode under the normal temperature environment and start the heat dissipation test under the normal temperature environment.

[0048] For another example, based on the enable interface, the "Ipmitool raw 0x3C 0x3A 0xB3 0x00" command can be used to turn off the heat dissipation test mode under the normal temperature environment and end the heat dissipation test under the normal temperature environment.

[0049] It should be noted that the function of the enable interface is to enter or exit the heat dissipation test mode under normal temperature environment. After using the enable interface to enter the heat dissipation test mode under normal temperature environment, the BMC will no longer use the temperature value obtained from the temperature sensor, but will use the virtual temperature value input by the temperature control input interface to control the fan. In this way, the heat dissipation test engineer can use the manually input virtual temperature value to detect the heat dissipation of the server under various temperature conditions under normal temperature environment. After the test is completed, the heat dissipation test mode under normal temperature environment can be exited through the enable interface and the normal operation mode can be restored, so that the BMC can obtain the actual temperature value from the temperature sensor.

[0050] Table 2 is a design table of the temperature control input interface of the heat dissipation test mode under normal temperature environment.

[0051] Table 2 Design table of temperature control input interface of heat dissipation test mode under normal temperature environment

[0052] Table 3 is a list of commonly used temperature sensors.

[0053] Table 3 List of commonly used temperature sensors

[0054] The application examples of temperature control input interface are as follows: Use Ipmitool raw 0x3C 0xFD 0x20 70 or Ipmitool raw 0x3C 0xFD 0x200x46 (hexadecimal 0x46 represents decimal 70) to set the value of the temperature sensor whose sensor number is 0x20 to 70 degrees Celsius.

[0055] It can be understood that the BMC can be controlled to start or exit the heat dissipation test mode under normal temperature environment through the enable interface, so that the BMC can switch freely between the test mode and the normal mode without affecting each other, with strong flexibility. The user input can be obtained through the temperature control input interface, and then the virtual temperature of each temperature sensor can be determined based on the user input, which facilitates customized testing and improves user experience.

[0056] In some embodiments, the virtual temperature value of each temperature sensor of the server to be tested is input in the form of an automated script through the temperature control input interface, including: Get the heat dissipation test parameters through the temperature control input interface; Verify the thermal test parameters; When the verification is successful, an automation script is generated based on the heat dissipation test parameters, and a virtual temperature value of each temperature sensor is input based on the automation script.

[0057] Optionally, the heat dissipation test parameters include target temperature and test time.

[0058] Optionally, check whether the thermal test parameters exceed the preset threshold range to ensure that the parameters are consistent with the test objectives, for example, the target temperature cannot exceed the maximum withstand temperature of the device, and the test time should meet the expected test cycle.

[0059] Optionally, check whether the combination of heat dissipation test parameters is reasonable and whether the set temperature matches the working status of the device to avoid unrealistic test conditions.

[0060] Among them, the automation script is a program code used to automatically perform specific tasks; by calling pre-defined instructions, the automation script can automatically complete operations, improve efficiency, reduce human intervention, have strong repeatability, and can also automatically record test data to ensure the integrity and accuracy of the test data.

[0061] It can be understood that by obtaining the heat dissipation test parameters through the temperature control input interface and verifying the heat dissipation test parameters, potential setting errors can be discovered and corrected early, ensuring that the input heat dissipation test parameters are accurate, thereby improving the reliability of the test results. The automated verification process reduces the time and effort of manual inspection, making the test process more efficient, and ensuring that all tests are performed under the same, verified conditions, which can improve the repeatability and consistency of the tests.

[0062] In some embodiments, the observed information includes control information and monitoring information; The observation information of the server under test is output through the human-computer interaction output interface and the BMC public human-computer interaction interface, including: Output control information through the human-computer interaction output interface; The monitoring information is output through the BMC public human-computer interaction interface.

[0063] Optionally, the control information includes mode status, PWM and other information; the monitoring information includes fan speed, duty cycle, log and other information.

[0064] It can be understood that by outputting control information through the human-machine interaction output interface and outputting monitoring information through the BMC public human-machine interaction interface, it is possible to more comprehensively understand and judge whether the current heat dissipation strategy meets the needs of the application scenario.

[0065] In some embodiments, the human-computer interaction output interface includes a status query interface and a PWM information query interface; Output control information through the human-computer interaction output interface, including: Through the status query interface, you can query in real time whether the BMC is currently in the heat dissipation test mode under normal temperature environment, and obtain the current status information of the BMC; Through the PWM information query interface, the current PWM value of each fan of the server to be tested can be viewed in real time.

[0066] Table 4 is a design table of the status query interface of the heat dissipation test mode under normal temperature environment.

[0067] Table 4 Design table of the status query interface of the heat dissipation test mode under normal temperature environment

[0068] As shown in Table 4, "0x00" indicates that the heat dissipation test mode under normal temperature environment is turned off, and "0x01" indicates that the heat dissipation test mode under normal temperature environment is turned on.

[0069] Table 5 is a design table of the PWM information query interface of the heat dissipation test mode under normal temperature environment.

[0070] Table 5 Design table of PWM information query interface of heat dissipation test mode under normal temperature environment

[0071] As shown in Table 5, the PWM value of a current single fan or global fan can be queried based on the PWM information query interface.

[0072] For example, the PWM value of the current global fan can be read through the "Ipmitool raw 0x3C 0xFE 0xFF" command. The returned value "00 78" indicates that the PWM value of the current global fan is 0x78 (decimal 120).

[0073] For another example, the current PWM value of fan 1 can be read through the "Ipmitool raw 0x3C 0xFE 0x01" command.

[0074] In the embodiment of the present invention, the heat dissipation test mode and human-computer interaction interface under normal temperature environment have the following advantages: low cost, no need to purchase a test incubator, saving expensive equipment and maintenance costs; simple operation, heat dissipation test can be carried out using commands, avoiding complicated incubator setting operations, and no need to rely on professional operators; normal temperature testing, low energy consumption, no need for an incubator to maintain high or low temperature environmental conditions, avoiding the consumption of a large amount of energy; support script testing, flexible and efficient, can simulate and detect the heat dissipation of the server in various high-performance, high-density, and high-load operation application scenarios; does not affect the normal function of BMC to obtain the values ​​of each temperature Sensor of the server, and the heat dissipation test mode under normal temperature environment can be turned on or off using the enable command. It can be turned on when needed and turned off when not in use.
