Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of operation and maintenance technology, and in particular to an equipment detection method, device, server and storage medium. Background Art

[0002] During the development and testing of the server, it is necessary to frequently check whether the various functional devices in the server are connected normally to ensure the smooth execution of the server development and testing process.

[0003] In the prior art, the detection of each functional device in the server is usually completed through an Inter-Integrated Circuit (I2C) tool. Specifically, a tester completes the status query of each functional device in a manual operation through the I2C tool, thereby realizing the status detection of each functional device in the server.

[0004] However, this detection method not only requires a lot of manpower costs, has low detection efficiency, and a cumbersome detection process, but also makes it difficult to locate abnormal addresses. It is impossible to know the location of abnormal devices in a timely manner, and the detection effect is poor. Summary of the invention

[0005] The present invention provides a device detection method, device, server and storage medium to solve the problem of low device detection efficiency.

[0006] According to one aspect of the present invention, a device detection method is provided, which is applied to a baseboard management controller of a server, comprising:

[0007] Get the standard address set corresponding to each device component in the design document;

[0008] Traverse each device component to obtain the actual address set corresponding to each device component; if the actual address set of the current device component includes the transfer address, continue to obtain the device address under the transfer address until all device addresses under the transfer address are obtained, and then continue to traverse other device components;

[0009] Detect abnormal and newly added devices in the server based on the actual address set and standard address set of each device component.

[0010] After detecting abnormal devices and newly added devices in the server according to the actual address set and the standard address set of each device component, at least one of the following items is also included: if an abnormal device component is detected in the server, the topological structure of the abnormal device component is displayed based on the design document; if an abnormal device is detected in the server, the topological structure of the device component where the abnormal device is located is displayed based on the design document; if a new device component is detected in the server, the design document is updated according to the new device component, and the topological structure of the new device component is displayed; if a new device is detected in the server, the design document is updated according to the new device, and the topological structure of the device component where the new device is located is displayed based on the updated design document. By displaying the topological structure of abnormal devices and newly added devices, accurate positioning of abnormal devices and newly added devices is achieved, which facilitates operation and maintenance personnel to promptly learn the structural relationship between abnormal devices and newly added devices and other devices, thereby improving equipment detection efficiency.

[0011] After detecting abnormal devices and newly added devices in the server according to the actual address set and the standard address set of each device component, it also includes: if it is detected that there are newly added devices in the target device component of the server, according to the numerical relationship between the total number of newly added devices in the target device component and the total number of standard devices, or the numerical relationship between the total number of newly added devices in the target device component and the number of standard devices of the same type, determining whether the newly added devices in the target device component are redundant devices. When there are newly added devices in the server, redundant detection of the newly added devices is implemented, which not only reduces the operating load of the server, but also avoids the waste of hardware resources and simplifies the topological structure of the server.

[0012] After detecting that a new device exists in the target device component of the server, the method further includes: determining whether the new device in the target device component is a redundant device according to the new device type of the target device component and the component type of the target device component. When a new device exists in the server, the type detection of the new device is implemented, which not only reduces the operation load of the server, but also avoids the waste of hardware resources and simplifies the topology structure of the server.

[0013] After detecting that a new device exists in the target device component of the server, the method further includes: determining whether the new device in the target device component is an overload device according to the new device operation parameter of the target device component. When a new device exists in the server, overload detection of the new device is implemented, which not only reduces the overall operation load of the server, but also avoids the phenomenon that the new device cannot operate due to excessive load, thereby saving hardware resources of the server.

[0014] After detecting abnormal devices and newly added devices in the server according to the actual address set and the standard address set of each device component, it also includes: if an abnormal device is detected in the server, obtaining the data communication record of the abnormal device through the central processing unit, or obtaining the operation status record of the abnormal device through the basic input and output system; through the data communication record or the operation status record, detecting whether the abnormal device in the server is a missing device. Obtaining the abnormal cause of the abnormal device through other detection methods other than bus detection effectively distinguishes between missing devices and communication abnormal devices, ensuring the integrity and accuracy of the device detection results.

[0015] After obtaining the actual address sets corresponding to each device component, it also includes: obtaining the standard transfer level of each device according to the standard address sets of each device component, and obtaining the actual transfer level of each device according to the actual address sets of each device component; if the actual transfer level of the target device does not match the corresponding standard transfer level, the target device is marked as a non-standard device. While realizing the detection of missing devices, abnormal communication devices and newly added devices in the server, it also realizes the detection of non-standard devices with low communication efficiency and high data loss risk, further improving the comprehensiveness of device detection and ensuring the integrity of device detection results.

[0016] According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a device detection apparatus, which is applied to a baseboard management controller of a server, and includes:

[0017] A standard address acquisition module is used to obtain the standard address set corresponding to each device component in the design document;

[0018] The actual address acquisition module is used to traverse each device component to obtain the actual address set corresponding to each device component; if the actual address set of the current device component includes the transfer address, continue to obtain the device address under the transfer address until all device addresses under the transfer address are obtained, and continue to traverse other device components;

[0019] The device detection execution module is used to detect abnormal devices and newly added devices in the server based on the actual address set and the standard address set of each device component.

[0020] According to another aspect of the present invention, a server is provided, the server comprising:

[0021] at least one processor; and

[0022] a memory communicatively connected to the at least one processor; wherein,

[0023] The memory stores a computer program executable by the at least one processor, and the computer program is executed by the at least one processor so that the at least one processor can execute the device detection method described in any embodiment of the present invention.

[0024] According to another aspect of the present invention, a computer-readable storage medium is provided, wherein the computer-readable storage medium stores computer instructions, and the computer instructions are used to enable a processor to implement the device detection method described in any embodiment of the present invention when executed.

[0025] The technical solution of the embodiment of the present invention, after obtaining the standard address set corresponding to each device component in the design document, traverses each device component to obtain the actual address set corresponding to each device component, especially when the actual address set of the current device component includes a transfer address, continues to obtain the device address under the transfer address; and then detects abnormal devices and new devices in the server based on the actual address set and the standard address set of each device component; thereby, not only automatic detection of device information in the server is achieved, the manpower cost of device detection is saved, and the efficiency of device detection is improved, but also accurate positioning of abnormal devices and new devices is achieved, ensuring the comprehensiveness of the device detection range.

[0034] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the scheme of the present invention, the technical scheme in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only 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 should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0035] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of the present invention and the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the data used in this way can be interchanged where appropriate, so that the embodiments of the present invention described herein can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described herein. In addition, the terms "including" and "having" and any variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions, for example, a process, method, system, product or device that includes a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units that are clearly listed, but may include other steps or units that are not clearly listed or inherent to these processes, methods, products or devices.

[0036] The Inter-Integrated Circuit (IIC), also known as the I2C bus, is a serial communication bus with a multi-master-slave architecture. Each master device is connected to multiple slave devices. The I2C bus includes two signal lines, namely the serial data line (SDA) and the serial clock line (SCL). Figure 1A As shown, the central processing component (i.e., device component A) in the server can be used as the main device component, which can include one or more central processing units (CPUs). Figure 1A In the example, two central processors (ie, device A1 and device A2) are used.

[0037] The device component A is connected to other device components (i.e., slave device components) through the I2C bus, for example, a graphics processing component and a storage component. Figure 1AIn the example, four slave device components are included; among them, the graphics processing component may include one or more graphics processors (Graphics Processing Unit, GPU); the storage component may include one or more memories (Memory), for example, read-only memory (Read-Only Memory, ROM) and random access memory (RandomAccess Memory, RAM), etc. Each of the above CPU, GPU, ROM and RAM is a device, and each has a different device address.

[0038] like Figure 1A As shown, the device detection method disclosed in the present invention can be configured in a baseboard management controller (BMC) in a server, and the BMC is connected to different device components in the server through different buses.

[0039] Embodiment 1

[0040] Figure 1B This is a flow chart of a device detection method provided in the first embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment can be applied to detect abnormal devices and newly added devices in a server by traversing various device components. The method can be executed by a device detection device, which can be implemented in the form of hardware and / or software. The device detection device is configured in the BMC of the server. Figure 1B As shown, the method includes:

[0041] S101. Obtain the standard address sets corresponding to each device component in the design document.

[0042] The design document records the hardware information that a server must have in order to meet specific business requirements, including the required device components, the number and type of devices included in each device component, and the address, function, operating parameters and other related information of each device; among which, a device component is a collection of hardware devices of a certain type; taking the above technical solution as an example, the central processing component, graphics processing component and storage component can be used as different device components respectively.

[0043] In order to facilitate the orderly management of devices by the server, the design document assigns a specified device address (i.e., standard address) to each device. Each device component corresponds to a standard address set, and each standard address corresponds to a device in the device component. Obviously, depending on the number of devices included in the device component, the standard address set may include one or more standard addresses; in particular, since the design document usually only records the hardware information that must be available to meet specific business needs, and in order to improve the performance of the server or expand the functionality of the server, other devices or device components may actually be added to the server, therefore, if a device component has a device address outside the design document, then the device corresponding to the device address is the newly added device; if the BMC is connected to a new bus outside the design document, and the device addresses under the bus are all outside the design document, then the component corresponding to the new bus is the newly added device component.

[0044] S102, traverse each device component to obtain the actual address set corresponding to each device component; if the actual address set of the current device component includes a transfer address, continue to obtain the device address under the transfer address until all device addresses under the transfer address are obtained, and continue to traverse other device components.

[0045] When scanning a device component under a bus, all device addresses (i.e., actual addresses) scanned and obtained under the device component constitute an actual address set; wherein, the above-mentioned actual address may include a transfer address; the transfer address is the address of a transfer device (e.g., a switch chip), and the transfer device is used to increase the I2C bus channel to mount more devices in the current device component; a device component may mount other devices through one or more transfer devices, especially devices whose mounted device type is different from the current device component type; for example, in a graphics processing component, in order to improve the data processing speed of the graphics processing component, it may be necessary to configure a memory for temporarily storing intermediate data therein, and the memory needs to be connected to the graphics processing component through a transfer device.

[0046] The BMC uses the I2C tool to traverse the device components under each bus in turn according to the buses it is connected to, and records all device addresses in each device component. Since the above device addresses are actually obtained by scanning with the I2C tool, the device addresses obtained by scanning are the actual addresses, and all actual addresses of the current device components constitute the actual address set.

[0047] Since the address of the transfer device has a fixed composition format, the above composition format can be recorded through the transfer address table in the design document. After scanning and obtaining each device address (i.e., actual address) in the current device component, the above device address is compared with the transfer address table to determine whether there is a transfer address in the device address; if there is no transfer address, it indicates that all device addresses in the device component have been obtained, and continue to traverse and obtain the device address in the next device component according to other buses connected to the BMC until the device addresses under all device components are completely obtained.

[0048] If a transfer address exists, it indicates that other devices are connected to the transfer device corresponding to the transfer address. At this time, the I2C tool is used to continue to obtain the device address under the transfer address. In particular, the device address obtained together with the above transfer address can be used as the zero-layer device address, that is, the device address directly scanned and obtained in the device component; and the device address obtained under the transfer address can be used as the first-layer device address, that is, the device address transferred through a transfer device.

[0049] In addition, if a forwarding address (for example, the address of forwarding device G) is obtained again in the device address under the forwarding address (for example, the address of forwarding device F), it means that other devices are still connected to forwarding device G. At this time, the device address under forwarding device G continues to be obtained. This device address is used as the second-layer device address, that is, the device address obtained by forwarding two forwarding devices (i.e., forwarding device F and forwarding device G); optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, the number of forwarding devices in the device component and the forwarding level are not specifically limited.

[0050] S103: Detect abnormal devices and newly added devices in the server according to the actual address set and the standard address set of each device component.

[0051] If a device address appears in the standard address set but not in the actual address set, it means that the device corresponding to the device address has an abnormality, which may be due to the missing device, resulting in the inability to detect the device address, or a communication abnormality between the BMC and the device, resulting in the inability to detect the device address. If no device address is obtained under a bus connected to the BMC, it means that there is an abnormality in the device component under the bus, which may also be caused by the missing device, or a communication abnormality between the BMC and the device component.

[0052] If a device address appears in the actual address set but not in the standard address set, it means that the server has undergone functional expansion or performance expansion, and a new device has been added to the current device component; if the device addresses obtained by the BMC under a bus are not in the standard address set, it also means that the server has undergone functional expansion or performance expansion, and the expansion method is to add a new device component.

[0053] In particular, for the identity acquisition of the newly added device, the identity document (ID) of the device can be read through the address obtained according to the newly added device address, and then the device information such as the device name, device type and operating parameters corresponding to the identity identification number can be obtained by querying the database; the device can also be directly accessed through the newly added device address to obtain the operating parameters of the device such as the capacity and read and write speed of the device, and then the device type of the device can be determined based on the obtained operating parameters.

[0054] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present invention, after detecting abnormal devices and newly added devices in the server according to the actual address sets and standard address sets of each device component, it also includes at least one of the following: if an abnormal device component is detected in the server, displaying the topological structure of the abnormal device component based on the design document; if an abnormal device is detected in the server, displaying the topological structure of the device component where the abnormal device is located based on the design document; if a new device component is detected in the server, updating the design document according to the new device component, and displaying the topological structure of the new device component; if a new device is detected in the server, updating the design document according to the new device, and displaying the topological structure of the device component where the new device is located based on the updated design document.

[0055] Specifically, when an abnormal device component is detected in the server, the topological structure of the abnormal device component is displayed based on the design document, and when an abnormal device is detected in the server, the topological structure of the device component where the abnormal device is located is displayed based on the design document. By displaying the topological structure of the abnormal device, the abnormal device is accurately located, which facilitates operation and maintenance personnel to promptly learn the structural relationship between the abnormal device and other devices, thereby improving the detection efficiency of abnormal devices.

[0056] At the same time, when a new device component is detected in the server, the design document is updated according to the new device component; wherein the topological structure of the new device component includes the number of devices and the switching level of each device; and when a new device is detected in the server, the design document is updated according to the new device; thereby, by displaying the topological structure of the new device, accurate positioning of the new device is also achieved, and it is also convenient for operation and maintenance personnel to promptly know the structural relationship between the new device and other devices, thereby improving the detection efficiency of the new device.

[0057] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present invention, after detecting abnormal devices and newly added devices in the server according to the actual address sets and standard address sets of each device component, it also includes: if an abnormal device is detected in the server, obtaining the data communication record of the abnormal device through the central processing unit, or obtaining the operating status record of the abnormal device through the basic input and output system; and detecting whether the abnormal device in the server is a missing device through the data communication record or the operating status record.

[0058] Specifically, the central processing unit serves as the master device in the server, and each slave device will generate data communication with the central processing unit, and the basic input output system (BIOS) serves as the basic input output program of the server, which records the operating status of each device. Therefore, when an abnormal device is detected in the server through the above technical solution, if the relevant information of the abnormal device is not detected through the data communication record or the operating status record, it means that the device is missing in the server; if the relevant information of the abnormal device is detected through the data communication record or the operating status record, it means that a communication abnormality has occurred between the device and the BMC, thereby obtaining the abnormal cause of the abnormal device through other detection methods other than bus detection, effectively distinguishing between the missing device and the communication abnormal device, and ensuring the integrity and accuracy of the device detection result.

[0059] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present invention, after obtaining the actual address sets corresponding to each device component, it also includes: obtaining the standard switching level of each device based on the standard address set of each device component, and obtaining the actual switching level of each device based on the actual address set of each device component; if the actual switching level of the target device does not match the corresponding standard switching level, the target device is marked as a non-standard device.

[0060] Specifically, if a device has more actual transfer levels than the standard transfer levels, when the device performs data transmission, the intermediate forwarding function of the transfer device may reduce the data transmission speed and there is a risk of data loss. At this time, although there are no missing devices, abnormal communication devices, or new devices, it is actually an irregular topology. At this time, the target device with more actual transfer levels than the standard transfer levels needs to be marked as a non-standard device. In this way, while realizing the detection of missing devices, abnormal communication devices, and new devices in the server, it also realizes the detection of non-standard devices with low communication efficiency and high data loss risk, further improving the comprehensiveness of device detection and ensuring the integrity of device detection results.

[0061] The technical solution of the embodiment of the present invention, after obtaining the standard address set corresponding to each device component in the design document, traverses each device component to obtain the actual address set corresponding to each device component, especially when the actual address set of the current device component includes a transfer address, continues to obtain the device address under the transfer address; and then detects abnormal devices and new devices in the server based on the actual address set and the standard address set of each device component; thereby, not only automatic detection of device information in the server is achieved, the manpower cost of device detection is saved, and the efficiency of device detection is improved, but also accurate positioning of abnormal devices and new devices is achieved, ensuring the comprehensiveness of the device detection range.

[0062] Embodiment 2

[0063] Figure 2 This is a flow chart of a device detection method provided by Embodiment 2 of the present invention. The relationship between this embodiment and the above embodiments is that after detecting that a new device exists in the target device component of the server, it is necessary to further determine whether the new device is a redundant device or an overloaded device. Figure 2 As shown, the method includes:

[0064] S201. Obtain the standard address sets corresponding to each device component in the design document.

[0065] S202, traverse each device component to obtain the actual address set corresponding to each device component; if the actual address set of the current device component includes a transfer address, continue to obtain the device address under the transfer address until all device addresses under the transfer address are obtained, and continue to traverse other device components.

[0066] S203: Detect abnormal devices and newly added devices in the server according to the actual address set and the standard address set of each device component.

[0067] S204. If it is detected that there are new devices in the target device component of the server, determine whether the new devices in the target device component are redundant devices based on the numerical relationship between the total number of new devices in the target device component and the total number of standard devices, or the numerical relationship between the total number of new devices in the target device component and the number of standard devices of the same type.

[0068] Specifically, the total number of standard devices is the total number of all devices under the device component recorded in the design document, for example, the total number of all devices in the storage component; the number of standard devices of the same type refers to the total number of devices of the device type recorded in the design document. For example, when the newly added device is a ROM, the number of standard devices of the same type refers to the total number of ROMs in the storage component recorded in the design document.

[0069] If the ratio of the total number of new devices to the total number of standard devices in a device component is greater than or equal to the first ratio threshold, or the ratio of the total number of new devices to the number of standard devices of the same type is greater than or equal to the second ratio threshold, it indicates that a large number of devices are mounted in the device component. Since the design document has specified the required devices for each device component, functional redundancy often occurs when the number of new devices is too large. Therefore, when there are new devices in the server, redundant detection of the new devices is implemented, which not only reduces the operating load of the server, but also avoids the waste of hardware resources and simplifies the server topology.

[0070] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present invention, after detecting the presence of a new device in the target device component of the server, it also includes: determining whether the new device in the target device component is a redundant device according to the new device type of the target device component and the component type of the target device component.

[0071] Specifically, since different device components are used to implement different functions, even if I2C channels can be added through adapter devices, channel expansion is often only performed under limited device types. For example, for a storage component, a graphics processor will not be mounted inside it, because a graphics processor mounted inside the storage component will not actually play any auxiliary computing function, and the small storage space of the graphics processor itself determines that it is not suitable for use as a storage device. Therefore, according to the component type of the target device component, if the type of the newly added device does not match the current component type, the newly added device is determined to be a functional redundant device. Therefore, when a new device exists in the server, the type of the new device is detected, which not only reduces the operating load of the server, but also avoids the waste of hardware resources and simplifies the topology of the server.

[0072] Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, after detecting that a new device exists in the target device component of the server, the method further includes: determining whether the new device in the target device component is an overloaded device according to operating parameters of the new device in the target device component.

[0073] Specifically, the design document records the operating parameters of each required device. A newly added device may require too many resources (for example, CPU resources, memory resources, and storage resources, etc.), exceeding the single device load threshold set by the server for each device. It may also cause the server's operating load to exceed the overall load threshold after it is mounted. Therefore, the operating parameters of the newly added device can be used to determine whether the newly added device is an overloaded device. When there is a new device in the server, overload detection of the new device is implemented, which not only reduces the overall operating load of the server, but also avoids the phenomenon that the new device cannot operate due to excessive load, thereby saving the server's hardware resources.

[0074] The technical solution of the embodiment of the present invention, when it is detected that there are new devices in the target device component of the server, determines whether there are redundant devices in the target device component according to the numerical relationship between the total number of new devices in the target device component and the total number of standard devices, or the numerical relationship between the total number of new devices in the target device component and the number of standard devices of the same type. Thus, when there are new devices in the server, the number of new devices is detected, which not only reduces the operating load of the server, but also avoids the waste of hardware resources and simplifies the topological structure of the server.

[0085] The technical solution of the embodiment of the present invention, after obtaining the standard address set corresponding to each device component in the design document, traverses each device component to obtain the actual address set corresponding to each device component, especially when the actual address set of the current device component includes a transfer address, continues to obtain the device address under the transfer address; and then detects abnormal devices and new devices in the server based on the actual address set and the standard address set of each device component; thereby, not only automatic detection of device information in the server is achieved, the manpower cost of device detection is saved, and the efficiency of device detection is improved, but also accurate positioning of abnormal devices and new devices is achieved, ensuring the comprehensiveness of the device detection range.
