Description

Technical Field

[0001] The embodiments of the present application relate to the field of computers, and in particular, to a method and device for locating a faulty server, a storage medium, and an electronic device. Background Art

[0002] In order to improve the utilization rate of network resources, modern data centers usually adopt a dynamic IP address allocation mechanism. Under this mechanism, each time a server starts up or reconnects to the network, it dynamically obtains an available IP address from a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server, rather than being assigned a static IP address, resulting in a lack of a fixed mapping relationship between the IP (Internet Protocol) address and the physical location of the server in the computer room. However, during the testing process, when a failure occurs in the server corresponding to a certain IP address, being able to quickly and accurately locate the faulty server is crucial for effectively preventing secondary failures caused by positioning delays.

[0003] In the prior art, usually during server deployment, the identification information (such as device serial number, MAC address, and host name, etc.) and physical location (such as the cabinet number and rack position where it is located) of each server are manually recorded in advance, and a location table is established to record the corresponding relationship between the identification information and the physical location. When it is necessary to locate a faulty server, according to the current IP address of the faulty server, the identification information corresponding to this IP address is obtained from the DHCP server, and then according to the obtained identification information, the corresponding physical location is searched in the location table. However, the above positioning method relying on manual maintenance of the location table has many problems. On the one hand, errors are likely to occur during the manual recording process, and the identification information or physical location may be misrecorded. On the other hand, when the physical location of the server changes (such as migration, equipment replacement, etc.), the manual record may not be updated in time, resulting in the records on the location table being inconsistent with the actual physical location of the server. As a result, when a faulty server is detected, the faulty server cannot be located in time and accurately, thereby reducing the positioning efficiency of the faulty server.

[0004] In view of the technical problems such as the low positioning efficiency of faulty servers in the related art, no effective solution has been proposed yet. Summary of the Invention

[0058] In this embodiment, a method for locating a faulty server is provided. Figure 2 It is a flowchart of a method for locating a faulty server according to an embodiment of the present application, as Figure 2 shown, and the process includes the following steps:

[0059] Step S12, detecting the operating state of the servers in the server room;

[0060] Step S14, in response to detecting a target server in a faulty operating state, controlling the target server to output an audio signal that meets the target audio parameters;

[0061] Step S16, receiving reference audio signals collected by a plurality of audio collectors distributed in the server room, where each of the plurality of audio collectors is used to collect audio signals in the corresponding collection area in the server room, and the plurality of collection areas corresponding to the plurality of audio collectors cover the deployment locations of the servers in the server room;

[0062] Step S18, locating the target server according to the reference audio signals.

[0063] Optionally, in this embodiment, the audio collectors in the server room can be, but are not limited to, devices such as digital microphones or sound pressure sensors that can collect audio signals in their collection areas, and the audio signals can be, but are not limited to, environmental noise data in the collection area, such as audio signals output during the operation of the server, including noise data such as the rotation sound of the fan and the read / write sound of the hard disk. The plurality of audio collectors are deployed at various positions in the server room, and each audio collector is responsible for collecting environmental noise data in its corresponding collection area. Figure 3 It is an example diagram of the deployment position of an audio collector in a server cabinet according to an embodiment of the present application, as Figure 3 shown, the deployment method of the audio collector (i.e., the sound pressure sensor) relative to the server cabinet can be, but is not limited to, being deployed in the middle position of the server cabinet to ensure that it can collect the audio signals output by all the servers in the cabinet. Figure 4It is an example diagram of the deployment location of an audio collector in a server room according to an embodiment of the present application. As Figure 4 shown, the deployment method of the audio collector relative to the server room can be, but is not limited to, being evenly deployed in the server room. The collection areas responsible for all audio collectors jointly cover the deployment locations of all servers in the server room, ensuring that the audio signals output by each server can be collected by at least one audio collector.

[0064] Optionally, in this embodiment, the fault operation state can be, but is not limited to, including: performance anomalies, such as key performance indicators such as the CPU usage rate, memory occupancy rate, disk read / write speed, or network throughput of the server exceeding the normal range; hardware failures, such as failures of hardware components such as processors, memory modules, hard disks, power supplies, fans, and cooling systems; network anomalies, such as abnormal increases in packet loss rate, significant increases in network latency, or complete disconnection of the network when the connection between the server and the network appears abnormal; system log anomalies, such as hardware fault codes, application crash records, or security warnings that appear in the system log.

[0065] Optionally, in this embodiment, the detection methods for detecting the operation state of servers in the server room can be, but are not limited to, including: using a centralized monitoring platform to collect performance data of all servers in the server room, including but not limited to performance indicators such as CPU (Central Processing Unit) usage rate, memory usage, disk read / write speed, system temperature, and fan speed. At the same time, hardware self-checks can also be performed through the built-in BMC (Baseboard Management Controller) system of the server to monitor the hardware state of the server in real time, including the operation of key components such as power supplies, fans, temperature sensors, memory, and CPU. And, monitor network traffic and latency through network behavior analysis tools, analyze network data packets in real time, and detect abnormal traffic patterns in the network, such as malware communication or network congestion. And, use a log analysis system to collect and analyze the operating system logs, application logs, and security logs of the server, monitor the log files in real time, and detect abnormal log entries, such as error messages, warning messages, security events, etc.

[0066] Optionally, in this embodiment, before detecting the operation state of servers in the server room, when the servers are in a normal operation state, collect and record the audio signals output by the servers in a normal operation state collected by multiple audio collectors, and store them as reference audio signals in the central processing system.

[0067] Optionally, in this embodiment, the audio collector may periodically collect the audio signals output by the servers in the server room during operation at a preset frequency (e.g., once every 5 seconds). When it is detected that the difference between the collected audio signal and the reference audio signal is greater than a preset threshold, it indicates that an abnormal situation may have occurred to the servers in the collection area. Among them, the difference can be determined by calculating the differences in audio parameters such as the intensity change or frequency change of the audio signal. The collection area corresponding to the audio collector that collected this audio signal is determined as the abnormal area, and the coordinates of this audio collector are sent to the operation and maintenance personnel. The operation and maintenance personnel can detect the status of the servers in the abnormal area based on these coordinates, achieving the technical effect of monitoring the abnormal situation of the servers.

[0068] Optionally, in this embodiment, when a server in a fault operation state is detected, the target server (i.e., the server in a fault operation state) is controlled through a remote control command (such as SSH, IPMI, etc.) to output an audio signal with specific target audio parameters. Among them, the audio signal with target audio parameters can be an audio signal with a specific frequency, specific intensity, or specific mode, which is used to distinguish between a normally operating server and a faulty server.

[0069] Optionally, in this embodiment, the reference audio signal contains the audio signals of all the servers in the server room. Since the audio signal output by the target server has specific characteristics, the audio signal of the target server can be accurately identified from the reference audio signal through these characteristics, and at the same time, the audio collector that collected the audio signal of the target server is determined. Since the position of each audio collector is known, the position of the target server can be indirectly determined through the position information of these audio collectors.

[0070] Through the positioning method of the faulty server in the embodiment of the present application, by using the characteristics that the target server can output an audio signal with specific audio parameters and the audio collector can collect these audio signals, by screening out the audio signals that meet the target audio parameters from the audio signals output by all the servers, the audio collector that collected the audio signal output by the target server can be determined from multiple audio collectors. Through the position of the audio collector, the position of the target server is indirectly determined, avoiding the delay and errors caused by manual recording and searching for position information in the related art, so that the faulty server can be located in a timely and accurate manner when a faulty server is detected. Therefore, it can solve the technical problems such as the low positioning efficiency of the faulty server in the related art, and achieve the technical effect of improving the positioning efficiency of the faulty server.

[0071] As an optional solution, controlling the target server to output an audio signal that meets the target audio parameters includes:

[0072] S21. Obtain the target server information of the target server, where the target server information is used to identify the target server;

[0073] S22. Convert the target server information into an audio control instruction, where the audio control instruction is used to control the target server to output an audio signal that meets the target audio parameters;

[0074] S23. Control the target server to execute the audio control instruction.

[0075] Optionally, in this embodiment, the target server information may include, but is not limited to, the identification information of the target server, such as the IP address, device serial number, host name, etc. The method of obtaining the target server information may include, but is not limited to: after detecting the target server in a fault operation state, obtaining the identification information of the fault server through a centralized monitoring platform, the BMC system built in the server, a network behavior analysis tool, or other detection means.

[0076] Optionally, in this embodiment, the method of controlling the target server to output an audio signal that meets the target audio parameters may include, but is not limited to: First, obtain the target server information of the target server, which may include the identification information of the target server and the time information for current fault server location; then, convert the target server information into an audio control instruction, where the audio control instruction may include, but is not limited to, indicating a unique target audio parameter; then connect to the IP address of the target server through a remote control command (such as SSH, IPMI, etc.) to control the target server to execute the audio control instruction, so that the target server outputs an audio signal with specific target audio parameters.

[0077] As an optional solution, converting the target server information into an audio control instruction includes:

[0078] S31. Perform binary encoding on the target server information to obtain a target encoding parameter;

[0079] S32. Convert the target encoding parameter into a target audio parameter according to the audio conversion information, where the audio conversion information is used to indicate the mapping relationship between the digital encoding in the target encoding parameter and the audio parameter;

[0080] S33. Convert each audio parameter in the target audio parameter into a corresponding operation parameter according to the instruction conversion information to obtain an operation parameter sequence, where the instruction conversion information is used to indicate the mapping relationship between the audio parameter in the target audio parameter and the operation parameter, and the operation parameter is used to indicate the operation mode of the audio device in the target server, and the audio device is the device in the target server that allows the output of an audio signal;

[0081] S34. Generate an audio adjustment instruction corresponding to the operation parameter sequence, where the audio adjustment instruction is used to control the audio device in the server to operate in sequence according to the operation parameters in the operation parameter sequence, so as to output an audio signal that meets the target audio parameters.

[0082] Optionally, in this embodiment, the audio conversion information can be, but is not limited to, a pre-defined mapping relationship that can convert binary codes into audio parameters. For example, the pre-defined audio conversion information can be: the audio parameter corresponding to the binary code "0" is "sound pressure intensity 20 db, duration 0.5 seconds", and the audio parameter corresponding to the binary code "1" is "sound pressure intensity 100 db, duration 0.5 seconds".

[0083] Optionally, in this embodiment, the instruction conversion information can be, but is not limited to, a pre-defined mapping relationship that can convert audio parameters into operation parameters, where the operation parameters can indicate the operation mode of the audio device in the target server that can output audio signals, such as the rotation speed of the fan, the rotation speed of the condensate pump, etc. The pre-defined instruction conversion information can be: the operation parameter corresponding to the audio parameter "sound pressure intensity 20 db, duration 0.5 seconds" is "fan rotation speed 20%, duration 0.5 seconds", and the operation parameter corresponding to the audio parameter "sound pressure intensity 100 db, duration 0.5 seconds" is "fan rotation speed 100%, duration 0.5 seconds".

[0084] Optionally, in this embodiment, the audio device can also be an external speaker or an audio warning device connected to the server through an audio output interface, allowing the playback of pre-defined audio files.

[0085] Optionally, in this embodiment, the method of converting the target server information into an audio control instruction may include, but is not limited to: taking the target server information as the IP address of the target server as an example. Suppose the IP address of the target server is: 192.168.1.100. After obtaining the target server information, first perform binary encoding on the target server information to convert the target server information into binary form: "192" → "11000000", "168" → "10101000", "1" → "00000001", "100" → "01100100", to obtain the target encoding parameter: "11000000101010000000000101100100". Then, convert the target encoding parameter into target audio parameters according to the predefined audio conversion information. For example, convert the digital code "1" into the corresponding audio parameter "sound pressure intensity 100 db, duration 0.5 seconds", and convert the digital code "0" into the corresponding audio parameter "sound pressure intensity 20 db, duration 0.5 seconds". Then, convert each audio parameter in the target audio parameters into the corresponding operation parameters according to the predefined instruction conversion information. For example, convert the audio parameter "sound pressure intensity 100 db, duration 0.5 seconds" into the corresponding operation parameter "fan speed 100%, duration 0.5 seconds", and convert the audio parameter "sound pressure intensity 20 db, duration 0.5 seconds" into the corresponding operation parameter "fan speed 20%, duration 0.5 seconds", to obtain the operation parameter sequence: "fan speed 100%, duration 0.5 seconds; fan speed 100%, duration 0.5 seconds; fan speed 20%, duration 0.5 seconds; fan speed 20%, duration 0.5 seconds...". Finally, generate an audio control instruction according to the operation parameter sequence. Among them, the audio control instruction can be sent to the target server in a manner including, but not limited to, SSH commands or IPMI commands, so that the target server outputs an audio signal that meets the target audio parameters.

[0086] Optionally, in this embodiment, Figure 5 is an example diagram of the audio signal output by the target server according to the embodiment of the present application. As Figure 5 shown, after the target server executes the audio control instruction and controls the fan to run sequentially according to the running mode indicated by the operation parameter sequence, the output audio signal meets the target audio parameters, that is, corresponds to the target server information of the target server.

[0087] As an optional solution, locating the target server according to the reference audio signal includes:

[0088] S41, screening out one or more candidate audio signals from the reference audio signal whose signal waveforms match the target signal waveforms of the audio signals that meet the target audio parameters;

[0089] S42. Screen out a target audio signal whose similarity to the waveform of the target signal meets the similarity condition from one or more candidate audio signals;

[0090] S43. Determine the target acquisition area corresponding to the target audio collector that acquires the target audio signal as the target deployment location of the target server.

[0091] Optionally, in this embodiment, after controlling the target server to execute the audio regulation instruction, multiple audio collectors in the server room respectively acquire a reference audio signal containing the audio signals of all servers. The ways to receive the reference audio signal may include: using the sounddevice module to interact with all audio collectors to obtain all the audio signals collected by all audio collectors.

[0092] Optionally, in this embodiment, the ways to screen out the target audio signal from the reference audio signal may include, but are not limited to: calculating the reference intensity difference between the reference audio signal and the reference audio signal, where the reference intensity difference corresponds to the degree of difference. The greater the reference intensity difference, the greater the degree of difference between the reference audio signal and the reference audio signal. For the same audio collector, the greater the degree of difference between the collected audio signal and the reference audio signal, the greater the difference between the audio signal output by the server in its acquisition area and the audio signal output in the normal operation state, that is, the greater the possibility that there is a faulty server in its acquisition area. Determine the reference audio signal with the largest reference intensity difference as the target audio signal, or set a reference intensity difference threshold, and determine multiple reference audio signals greater than the reference intensity difference threshold as the target audio signals.

[0093] Optionally, in this embodiment, the ways to screen out the target audio signal from the reference audio signal may include, but are not limited to: assuming that there are three audio collectors in the server room, namely audio collector A, audio collector B, and audio collector C, Figure 6 is an example diagram of the audio signal collected by audio collector A according to an embodiment of the present application, Figure 7 is an example diagram of the audio signal collected by audio collector B according to an embodiment of the present application, Figure 8 is an example diagram of the audio signal collected by audio collector C according to an embodiment of the present application. The reference audio signal includes three audio signals collected by audio collectors A to C. Compare the signal waveform of the reference audio signal with the target signal waveform of the audio signal that meets the target audio parameters, and screen out the candidate audio signals that match the target signal waveform. As Figures 6 - 8 shown, the audio signals collected by audio collectors A and C are completely matched with the target signal waveform, so they are selected as candidate audio signals.

[0094] Optionally, in this embodiment, Figure 9 is an example diagram of the sound pressure distance distribution curve according to the embodiment of the present application. As Figure 9 shown, since there is loss in the propagation process of the audio signal, when the target server is closer to the audio collector, the audio signal collected by the audio collector is stronger. When the target server is farther away from the audio collector, the audio signal collected by the audio collector is weaker. Therefore, the closer the audio collector is to the target server, the higher the similarity between the audio signal collected by the audio collector and the audio signal output by the target server that meets the target audio parameters.

[0095] Optionally, in this embodiment, a similarity condition is set, and a target audio signal whose similarity to the target signal waveform meets the similarity condition (such as 90% similarity) is found from the candidate audio signals. Among them, the similarity can be determined by calculating the difference between the waveforms of the audio signals, or by calculating the difference in sound pressure intensity between the audio signals.

[0096] Optionally, in this embodiment, after screening out the target audio signal whose similarity to the target signal waveform meets the similarity condition from the candidate audio signals, the audio collector that collects the target audio signal is determined, and the collection area corresponding to the target audio collector that collects the target audio signal is the target deployment location of the target server.

[0097] As an alternative solution, screening out a target audio signal whose similarity to the target signal waveform meets the similarity condition from one or more candidate audio signals includes:

[0098] S51, screening out one target audio signal with the greatest similarity to the target signal waveform from one or more candidate audio signals;

[0099] S52, or, screening out multiple target audio signals whose similarity to the target signal waveform is greater than the similarity threshold from one or more candidate audio signals.

[0100] Optionally, in this embodiment, the method of screening out the target audio signal from the candidate audio signals may but is not limited to further include: calculating the difference in sound pressure intensity between the candidate audio signal and the audio signal output by the target server that meets the target audio parameters. Among them, the difference in sound pressure intensity corresponds to the similarity. The smaller the difference in sound pressure intensity, the greater the similarity between the two audio signals. The candidate audio signal with the smallest difference in sound pressure intensity is determined as the target audio signal, or a threshold for the difference in sound pressure intensity is set, and multiple candidate audio signals smaller than the threshold for the difference in sound pressure intensity are determined as the target audio signals.

[0101] As an alternative solution, determining the target deployment location of the target server as the target acquisition area corresponding to the target audio acquisition device that acquires the target audio signal includes:

[0102] S61. When screening out multiple target audio signals with a similarity greater than the similarity threshold to the target signal waveform from one or more candidate audio signals, obtaining the reference acquisition areas corresponding to the target audio acquisition devices that acquire each target audio signal, and obtaining multiple reference acquisition areas;

[0103] S62. Determining the intersection area of the multiple reference acquisition areas as the target acquisition area;

[0104] S63. Determining the target acquisition area as the target deployment location.

[0105] Optionally, in this embodiment, when screening out multiple target audio signals with a similarity greater than the similarity threshold to the target signal waveform from one or more candidate audio signals, that is, when multiple audio acquisition devices all acquire the target audio signal, the intersection area of the multiple acquisition areas corresponding to the multiple audio acquisition devices can be determined as the deployment location of the target server.

[0106] Optionally, in this embodiment, as Figure 6 and Figure 8 shown, assume that the audio signals acquired by audio acquisition devices A and C both meet the similarity conditions, and the acquisition area corresponding to audio acquisition device A is located in cabinet 1, and the acquisition area corresponding to audio acquisition device C is located in cabinet 2. When both audio acquisition devices A and C acquire the target audio signal, obtaining the reference acquisition areas corresponding to audio acquisition devices A and C: cabinet 1 and cabinet 2, and determining the intersection area of cabinet 1 and cabinet 2 as the target acquisition area, it can be determined that the intersection area of cabinet 1 and cabinet 2 is the deployment location of the target server. By restricting the deployment location of the target server through the acquisition areas corresponding to multiple audio acquisition devices, the range of the deployment location of the target server can be reduced, achieving the technical effect of improving the positioning efficiency of the faulty server.

[0107] Optionally, in this embodiment, to better understand the process of the positioning method for the faulty server performing the positioning task, the following further describes the process of the positioning method for the faulty server performing the positioning task in combination with an alternative embodiment, but it is not used to limit the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application.

[0108] In this embodiment, a positioning method for a faulty server is provided, which mainly includes the following steps:

[0109] Step 1: Deploy a sound pressure sensor.

[0110] Deploy sound pressure sensors (i.e., audio collectors) in the server room. The positions of the sound pressure sensors should be as close as possible to the middle of the server racks and evenly distributed within the server room to ensure that the audio signals output by each server in the server room can be collected by at least one audio collector.

[0111] Step 2: Collect the audio signals output by the servers in the normal operating state.

[0112] Use the sounddevice module to interact with all sound pressure sensors and collect the audio signals collected by each sound pressure sensor at a preset frequency. Since the server models, configurations, and actual services are different, there may be deviations in the audio signals output during operation, and the audio reference values of the audio signals output by the servers deployed in different regions may not be consistent. This step can obtain the audio reference values of the collection areas corresponding to each sound pressure sensor.

[0113] Step 3: Generate an audio instruction for the faulty server.

[0114] In response to detecting a faulty server in the faulty operating state, obtain a digital combination by combining the identification information and time information of the faulty server, and convert the digital combination into an audio instruction (i.e., an audio regulation instruction) according to the audio conversion information and instruction conversion information. For example, the time information January 1st is 0101, and December 20th is 1220. Convert the digital combination carrying the identification information and time information of the faulty server into binary. Taking 0101 as an example, the binary conversion is 1100101. Subsequently, convert "1" into an audio instruction to adjust the server fan speed to 100% to increase the sound pressure, and convert "0" into a sound pressure instruction to adjust the server fan speed to 25% to reduce the sound pressure. If it is a liquid-cooled server, adjust the speed of the condensate pump to achieve the purpose of increasing the sound pressure with the GPU pressure light. Wait 5s for the intermediate change to ensure the audio instruction takes effect.

[0115] Step 4: Send the audio instruction.

[0116] Based on the IP address of the faulty server, use remote means such as SSH connection, IPMI instruction, or BMC interface to make the audio signal output by the faulty server undergo corresponding audio changes.

[0117] Step 5: Summarize the audio data collected by the sound pressure sensors.

[0118] Calculate the sound pressure change of the audio signal collected by each sound pressure sensor relative to the audio reference value, and obtain the sound pressure intensity difference. Feed back the coordinates of the sound pressure sensor with the largest sound pressure intensity difference and whose changes each time conform to the binary character changes generated in step 3 to the operation and maintenance personnel. In the case where multiple audio signals all conform to this binary character change, re-execute steps 4 and 5 to resolve the occasional conflicts caused by online services. If there are different sound pressure sensors at different heights in the same cabinet, the sound pressure sensor with the largest sound pressure intensity difference can be further found according to the change in height, and the expected height can be transmitted to the operation and maintenance personnel together.

[0119] Step 6: Use BMC to perform the lighting operation.

[0120] Use IPMI commands to control the BMC module of the target server to make its LED lights flash.

[0121] Step 7: Precisely locate the specific location of the server offline.

[0122] The operation and maintenance personnel can quickly find the specific faulty server according to the feedback of the sound pressure sensor coordinates and the BMC light flashing situation. If it is inconvenient for the operation and maintenance personnel to view the BMC lights in some unmanned scenarios, a robotic arm can be considered to transport the camera to the cabinet where the corresponding sound pressure sensor is deployed (cameras can also be deployed in each cabinet), and then take pictures of the BMC lights of the server. Check whether the BMC lights are flashing according to the shooting results and visual recognition. To avoid misjudgment and omission of the flashing by the camera, the BMC heart light can be lit first, photographed, extinguished after shooting, and then photographed again. Repeat three times to confirm the physical address of the final faulty server.
