[0003] At present, fault alarms are usually performed by relying on out-of-band information reported by a storage card (the out-of-band information mainly covers the health status of the hard disk and the like), however, an on-board hard disk refers to a storage device directly installed on a mainboard through a backplane, which is not connected with the storage card, and the out-of-band information that cannot be reported by the on-board hard disk can only report basic events such as insertion and removal of the hard disk, which leads to the fact that the on-board hard disk cannot be timely alarmed when it fails.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a fault detection method for an on-board hard disk to issue an alarm when the on-board hard disk fails. SUMMARY

[0025] In order for those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present application, and to make the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the embodiments of the present application more obvious and easy to understand, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

[0026] Before describing the method provided by the embodiments of the present application, the technical problem is described in detail:

[0027] At present, in the related art, the hard disk on the mainboard is directly installed on the hard disk board through the backboard, the hard disk indirectly connected to the mainboard through the backboard and the storage card is a non-board hard disk, the BMC recognizes the out-of-band information of the hard disk through the storage card, so as to determine the Fault state of the disk, such as the hard disk being in the Failed, Offline, UnconfiguredBad state. However, the on-board hard disk is not connected with the storage card, and the out-of-band information that cannot be reported cannot be determined by the above-mentioned method. The on-board hard disk can only determine whether it is in the Drive Presence through the Complex Programmable Logic Device (CPLD) on the backboard. For the user level, it is not possible to perceive whether the on-board hard disk is still running normally, that is, the on-board hard disk failure reporting rate is almost 0%, and the hard disk as an important storage space on the server often carries critical business data, and once a failure occurs, it may cause irreparable loss.

[0028] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a fault detection method for on-board hard disks to issue an alarm when the on-board hard disk fails.

[0029] Based on this, the embodiments of the present application provide a method and device for detecting the fault of on-board hard disks applied to servers, which can detect the fault of on-board hard disks without connecting storage cards, so as to realize the detection of on-board hard disks, issue an alarm in time when the on-board hard disk fails, prompt the user to troubleshoot in time, and thus quickly recover the business.

[0030] The method provided by the embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below:

[0031] Referring to Figure 1 , Figure 1 the flowchart of the method provided by the embodiments of the present application. As an embodiment, the execution subject of the method can be a Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) in a server.

[0032] As Figure 1 shown, the flowchart can include the following steps:

[0033] S101, obtaining the identification of the on-board hard disk currently in place on the server through the I2C bus on the server.

[0034] In this embodiment, as an example, the identification of any on-board hard disk can be represented by the physical slot number of the on-board hard disk.

[0035] In this embodiment, the above-mentioned step S101 has many specific implementation manners when specifically implemented, for example, as an example, after the server is normally running, the BMC reads the hard disk in-place information of the backplane CPLD through the I2C bus every specified time period (for example, every 10 minutes). Any hard disk in-place information at least includes the physical slot number of the on-board hard disk in place, the physical slot number of the absent on-board hard disk, the physical slot number of the offline on-board hard disk, and the physical slot number of the on-board hard disk in the preheating state. Through the in-place information, the physical slot number of the on-board hard disk currently in place can be obtained.

[0036] S102, obtaining the current on-board hard disk information file passed by the BIOS on the server, the current on-board hard disk information file containing the information of each on-board hard disk on the current server; the information of any on-board hard disk at least includes the identification of the on-board hard disk.

[0037] As an example, the information of any on-board hard disk includes at least one of the following in addition to the identification of the on-board hard disk (the physical slot number of the on-board hard disk):

[0038] BIOS under number, on-board hard disk model, on-board hard disk firmware version, on-board hard disk capacity, on-board hard disk speed, on-board hard disk type, and on-board hard disk serial number.

[0039] In this embodiment, how the BIOS obtains the current on-board hard disk information file in the above-mentioned step S201, and how the BMC obtains the information of each on-board hard disk after obtaining the current on-board hard disk information file from the BIOS will be described in the form of specific examples in the following, which will not be repeated here.

[0040] S103, detecting whether the on-board hard disk of the server is faulty by comparing the obtained identification of the current on-board hard disk in place with the identification of each on-board hard disk contained in the current on-board hard disk information file. Wherein, detecting whether the on-board hard disk of the server is faulty by comparing the obtained identification of the current on-board hard disk in place with the identification of each on-board hard disk contained in the current on-board hard disk information file includes at least one of the following cases: for the obtained identification of each on-board hard disk in place, if the identification of the on-board hard disk in place is not found from the identification of each on-board hard disk contained in the current on-board hard disk information file, output a first fault indication, and the first fault indication is used to indicate that the on-board hard disk represented by the identification of the on-board hard disk in place has a hard disk missing fault; for the identification of each on-board hard disk contained in the current on-board hard disk information file, if the identification of the on-board hard disk is not found from the identification of the current on-board hard disk in place, output a second fault indication, and the second fault indication is used to indicate that the on-board hard disk represented by the identification of the on-board hard disk has a Device Disable fault.

[0041] In the embodiment, the identification of the current on-board hard disk in place on the server read by the I2C bus illustrates which on-board hard disk is located in the correct physical slot from the hardware connection point of view. The current on-board hard disk information file sent by the BIOS illustrates the running condition of each on-board hard disk, and comparison between the two can accurately analyze whether the on-board hard disk is faulty.

[0042] In the embodiment, the specific implementation mode of the above step S103 will be described in the form of specific examples in the following, which will not be described here.

[0043] At this point, the process shown in Figure 1 is completed.

[0044] As can be seen from the process shown in Figure 1 , in the embodiment, the identification of the current on-board hard disk in place on the server read by the I2C bus is obtained, the current on-board hard disk information file (containing the information of each on-board hard disk on the current server) transmitted by the BIOS on the server is obtained, the obtained identification of the current on-board hard disk in place is compared with the identification of each on-board hard disk contained in the current on-board hard disk information file, and whether the on-board hard disk of the server has a hard disk missing fault and / or a Device Disable fault is detected. This way of detecting faults without relying on the storage card to transmit out-of-band information can detect the fault of the on-board hard disk without connecting the storage card, so that the detection of the on-board hard disk is realized, and an alarm is sent in time when the on-board hard disk fails, prompting the user to troubleshoot in time, and then quickly recovering the business.

[0045] The following describes how the BIOS obtains the current on-board hard disk information file and how the BMC obtains information of each on-board hard disk after the BIOS obtains the current on-board hard disk information file.

[0046] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 The flowchart for obtaining the current on-board hard disk information file is provided for the embodiments of the present application.

[0047] As shown in Figure 2 , the flowchart includes the following steps.

[0048] S201, before the BIOS enters the setup state for the first time, obtain the backplane configuration information from the main logic register, and the backplane configuration information is used to indicate the correspondence between each on-board hard disk and the identifier on the backplane.

[0049] S202, write the backplane configuration information into a first json file, and send the first json file to the BIOS, so that the BIOS completes the initialization configuration based on the correspondence in the backplane configuration information in the first json file, and after the BIOS enters the setup complete state from the setup state for the first time, update the first json file based on the current obtained on-board hard disk information, to obtain the initial on-board hard disk information file.

[0050] In the embodiment, in order to ensure that the BIOS can correctly identify and manage all on-board hard disks, before the BIOS enters the setup state for the first time, the correspondence between each on-board hard disk and the identifier is obtained by hardware connection (i.e., by directly connecting the backplane configuration of the platform controller hub (PCH)), the backplane configuration is parsed, and the correspondence is transmitted to the BIOS in a first json file, so that the BIOS completes the initialization configuration based on the correspondence, so that the BIOS can correctly identify the identifier of each on-board hard disk, and after the BIOS enters the setup complete state from the setup state for the first time, the information of each on-board hard disk obtained at this time is written into the first json file based on these configurations, to obtain a second json file, and the second json file is the initial on-board hard disk information file at this time.

[0051] For example, as shown in Figure 3As shown, the BMC obtains the backplane configuration of the platform controller hub (PCH) before the BIOS enters the setup state for the first time, and obtains the hard disk slot distribution information through the backplane configuration and the hard disk slot distribution rule. For models that do not match the general rule, the hard disk slot distribution configuration information is written in xml for adaptation. The hard disk slot distribution information is written into a json file and transmitted to the BIOS, and the BIOS can parse the corresponding physical slot number according to the hard disk slot distribution information. After the BIOS enters the setup complete state from the setup state for the first time, the information of each on-board hard disk is used to update the json file, which is sent to the BMC.

[0052] S203, starting from the initial on-board hard disk information file, whenever the BIOS on the server enters the setup complete state from the setup state, and every interval specified period, the BIOS updates the last current on-board hard disk information file based on the information of each on-board hard disk currently obtained, to obtain the latest on-board hard disk information file.

[0053] In this embodiment, the BIOS updates the last on-board hard disk information file at each update time point to obtain the latest on-board hard disk information file. Each update time point refers to a time point when the BIOS on the server enters the setup complete state from the setup state, and every interval specified period.

[0054] It should be noted that, here, the time interval of updating the on-board hard disk information file can be the same as the time interval of obtaining the identification of the on-board hard disk currently in place by the BMC through the I2C bus in step S101.

[0055] The above describes in detail how the BIOS obtains the current on-board hard disk information file, and how the BMC obtains the information of each on-board hard disk after obtaining the current on-board hard disk information file from the BIOS:

[0056] As an example, the BMC can obtain the / var / BiosPush / BiosBeforeBoot.json file, and the BMC copies the file to / mnt / sdmmc0p4 / bios / BiosBeforeBoot.json.

[0057] The information of each on-board hard disk is located in the "OnBoardSataInfo" field in the json file, and the specific information field is as follows:

[0058] "PhySlot" : Front1————————————————hard disk physical slot

[0059] "LogSlot": 1 —————————————————— BIOS ID

[0060] Model: Intel SSDSC2KB240G7 — Hard drive model

[0061] "FwVersion" : "SCV10121" ———————————— Hard drive firmware version

[0062] "Capacity": 240.0 GB (Hard Disk Capacity)

[0063] "Speed": 6.0Gbps————————————————Hard disk speed

[0064] "Type": "SSD" ————————————————— Hard Drive Type

[0065] "SerialNumber": "PHLF725200RL2P0HGN" — Hard drive serial number

[0066] Using the above method, BMC obtains information about each onboard hard drive on the current server.

[0067] As an example, after obtaining the information of each onboard hard disk, in order to facilitate comparison with the identifier of the previously present onboard hard disk read through the I2C bus, the identifier of the currently present onboard hard disk read through the I2C bus is stored in a global variable, and the information of each onboard hard disk is stored in database A. Then, the identifier of the currently present onboard hard disk is obtained from the global variable and database A and compared with the identifier in the information of the onboard hard disk.

[0068] Furthermore, after the writing to database A is completed, the obtained onboard hard disk information is processed and converted into structure data for the API interface. The structure is stored in database B corresponding to the AIP interface. When the API interface is called, the onboard hard disk information is retrieved from database B.

[0069] The above provides a detailed explanation of how the BIOS obtains the current onboard hard drive information file, and how the BMC obtains the information of each onboard hard drive after obtaining the current onboard hard drive information file from the BIOS.

[0070] The following describes in detail the detection of whether the server's on-board hard disk is faulty (i.e., step S103 described above) by comparing the obtained identification of the current on-board hard disk and the identification of each on-board hard disk contained in the current on-board hard disk information file:

[0071] There are many specific implementation manners of step S103 described above. For example, as an embodiment, for the obtained identification of each on-board hard disk, if the identification of the on-board hard disk is not found from the identification of each on-board hard disk contained in the current on-board hard disk information file, a first fault indication is output, which is used to indicate that the on-board hard disk represented by the identification of the on-board hard disk has a missing fault.

[0072] If the identification of the on-board hard disk is found from the identification of each on-board hard disk contained in the current on-board hard disk information file, the on-site log of the on-board hard disk represented by the identification of the on-board hard disk is output.

[0073] As another embodiment, for the identification of each on-board hard disk contained in the current on-board hard disk information file, if the identification of the on-board hard disk is not found from the identification of the current on-board hard disk, a second fault indication is output, which is used to indicate that the on-board hard disk represented by the identification of the on-board hard disk has a Device Disable fault.

[0074] If the identification of the on-board hard disk is not found from the identification of the current on-board hard disk, the on-site log of the on-board hard disk represented by the identification of the on-board hard disk is output.

[0075] As another embodiment, for the obtained identification of each on-board hard disk, if the identification of the on-board hard disk is not found from the identification of each on-board hard disk contained in the current on-board hard disk information file, a first fault indication is output, which is used to indicate that the on-board hard disk represented by the identification of the on-board hard disk has a missing fault.

[0076] If the identification of the on-board hard disk is found from the identification of each on-board hard disk contained in the current on-board hard disk information file, the on-site log of the on-board hard disk represented by the identification of the on-board hard disk is output.

[0077] For the identification of each on-board hard disk contained in the current on-board hard disk information file, if the identification of the on-board hard disk is not found from the identification of the current on-board hard disk, a second fault indication is output, which is used to indicate that the on-board hard disk represented by the identification of the on-board hard disk has a Device Disable fault.

[0078] If the identification of the current in-place onboard hard disk is not found from the identification of the current in-place onboard hard disk, the in-place log of the onboard hard disk represented by the identification of the in-place onboard hard disk is output.

[0079] The above describes in detail the detection of whether the onboard hard disk of the server is faulty by comparing the identification of the current in-place onboard hard disk obtained and the identification of each onboard hard disk contained in the current onboard hard disk information file.

[0080] In order to describe the method provided by the present application in more detail, the following describes the method provided by the present application in combination with the server Figure 4 The scheme provided by the present application is described in more detail in the manner of specific embodiments.

[0081] In the embodiment, the identification of the onboard hard disk is represented by the physical slot number of the onboard hard disk.

[0082] In combination with the flowchart shown in FIG. 1, the flow includes the following steps: Figure 4

[0083] 1. When the server is normally running, the in-place information of the onboard hard disk is obtained by reading the backplane CPLD through I2C, and the physical slot number of the in-place onboard hard disk is stored in global variable A.

[0084] 2. The BIOS passes BiosBeforeBoot.json to the BMC, the BMC reads all the onboard hard disk information of the json file and stores it in database B.

[0085] 3. The physical slot number of each onboard hard disk in global variable A is compared with all the physical slot numbers of the onboard hard disks in database B:

[0086] (1) If the physical slot number can be found in database B, it is proved that the onboard hard disk corresponding to the physical slot number can be normally obtained, and no other log is reported except the in-place log of the onboard hard disk, that is, no alarm is performed.

[0087] (2) If the physical slot number cannot be found in database B, it is proved that the detailed information of the onboard hard disk corresponding to the physical slot number cannot be obtained, and the missing needs to be reported in addition to the in-place log of the onboard hard disk, and is associated with Drive Fault.

[0088] 4. The physical slot number of each onboard hard disk in database B is compared with all the physical slot numbers of the onboard hard disks in global variable A;

[0089] (1) If the physical slot number is found in global variable A, it is proved that the onboard hard disk can be normally obtained, and no other log is reported except the in-place log of the onboard hard disk, that is, no alarm is performed.

[0090] ​(2) If the physical slot number cannot be found in the global variable A, it means that the BIOS recognizes the onboard hard drive but the CPLD does not recognize it, and an unavailable alarm is reported. The reported log is: Device Disable: The disk information not obtained.

[0091] The methods provided in the embodiments of this application have been described above. The apparatus provided in the embodiments of this application is described below:

[0092] See Figure 5 , Figure 5 This is a structural diagram of the device provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 5 As shown, the device includes: a first acquisition module 501, a second acquisition module 502, and a detection module 503.

[0093] The first acquisition module 501 is used to acquire the identifier of the currently present onboard hard disk on the server, which is read through the server's I2C bus;

[0094] The second obtaining module 502 is used to obtain the current onboard hard disk information file transmitted by the BIOS on the server. The current onboard hard disk information file contains information about each onboard hard disk on the current server. The information of any onboard hard disk includes at least: the identifier of the onboard hard disk.

[0095] The detection module 503 is used to detect whether the server's onboard hard drives are faulty by comparing the obtained identifiers of the currently in-situ onboard hard drives with the identifiers of each onboard hard drive contained in the current onboard hard drive information file. Detecting whether the server's onboard hard drives are faulty by comparing the obtained identifiers of the currently in-situ onboard hard drives with the identifiers of each onboard hard drive contained in the current onboard hard drive information file includes at least one of the following: for each obtained identifier of an in-situ onboard hard drive, if the identifier of that in-situ onboard hard drive is not found in the identifiers of each onboard hard drive contained in the current onboard hard drive information file, a first fault indication is output, indicating that the onboard hard drive represented by the identifier of that in-situ onboard hard drive has a missing fault; for each identifier of an onboard hard drive contained in the current onboard hard drive information file, if the identifier of that in-situ onboard hard drive is not found in the identifiers of the currently in-situ onboard hard drives, a second fault indication is output, indicating that the onboard hard drive represented by the identifier of that inboard hard drive has a device disabled fault.

[0096] In the embodiment, the identification of the currently present on-board hard disk on the server is obtained by reading through the I2C bus on the server, the current on-board hard disk information file passed by the BIOS on the server is obtained (the current on-board hard disk information file contains information of each on-board hard disk currently on the server), the obtained identification of the currently present on-board hard disk is compared with the identification of each on-board hard disk contained in the current on-board hard disk information file, and whether the on-board hard disk of the server has a missing fault and / or a Device Disable fault is detected. The fault detection method without relying on the storage card to pass the out-of-band information can detect the fault of the on-board hard disk without connecting the storage card. Thus, the on-board hard disk is detected to timely issue an alarm when the on-board hard disk has a fault, so as to prompt the user to timely troubleshoot and then quickly restore the service.

[0097] As an embodiment,

[0098] By comparing the obtained identification of the currently present on-board hard disk with the identification of each on-board hard disk contained in the current on-board hard disk information file, whether the on-board hard disk of the server has a fault further includes:

[0099] For the obtained identification of each present on-board hard disk, if the identification of the present on-board hard disk is found from the identification of each on-board hard disk contained in the current on-board hard disk information file, the on-site log of the present on-board hard disk is output.

[0100] For the identification of each on-board hard disk contained in the current on-board hard disk information file, if the identification of the on-board hard disk is not found from the identification of the currently present on-board hard disk, the on-site log of the on-board hard disk is output.

[0101] As an embodiment, the identification of the currently present on-board hard disk on the server obtained by reading through the I2C bus on the server includes:

[0102] The hard disk on-site information of each on-board hard disk is obtained by reading the backplane complex programmable logic device (CPLD) of the server through the I2C bus. The hard disk on-site information of any on-board hard disk at least includes the identification of the present on-board hard disk, the identification of the absent on-board hard disk, the identification of the offline on-board hard disk, and the identification of the on-board hard disk in the warm-up state.

[0103] The identification of the currently present on-board hard disk is obtained from the hard disk on-site information of each on-board hard disk.

[0104] As an embodiment, the current on-board hard disk information file is obtained by the following steps:

[0105] Before the BIOS on the server enters the startup setup state for the first time, backplane configuration information is obtained from the main logic register, the backplane configuration information being used to indicate the correspondence between each on-board hard disk on the backplane and the identification;

[0106] The backplane configuration information is written into a first json file, and the first json file is sent to the BIOS, so that the BIOS completes initialization configuration based on the correspondence in the backplane configuration information in the first json file, and after the BIOS enters the setup complete state from the setup state for the first time, the first json file is updated based on the current obtained on-board hard disk information, to obtain an initial on-board hard disk information file;
