[0018] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort belong to the protection scope of the present application.

[0019] It should be noted that, in the description of the present application, the terms “comprise”, “contain” or any other variants thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or device comprising a series of elements not only includes those elements, but also includes other elements not explicitly listed or inherent to such a process, method, article or device. The terms “first”, “second” and the like in the present application are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not used to describe a specific order or sequence.

[0020] In order for those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of the present application, the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings and specific embodiments.

[0021] According to an aspect of an embodiment of the present application, a hard disk disk sequence identification method is provided. Optionally, in the present embodiment, the above-mentioned hard disk disk sequence identification method can be applied to an electronic device as shown in Figure 1 As shown in Figure 1 The electronic device includes at least one processor 102, a hard disk 104 of at least two hard disks 104 hung under the electronic device is connected to a first communication port 108 of a protocol conversion component 106 of at least one protocol conversion component 106 hung under the electronic device, and the protocol conversion component 106 of the at least one protocol conversion component is connected to a second communication port 110 of the processor 102 of the at least one processor.

[0022] Figure 2 is a flow diagram of an optional hard disk disk sequence identification method according to an embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figure 2 The flow of the method includes the following steps:

[0023] Step S202, determining a first connection relationship, a first belonging relationship, a second connection relationship and a second belonging relationship, wherein the first connection relationship is the connection relationship between the hard disk and the first communication port, the first belonging relationship is the belonging relationship between the first communication port and the protocol conversion component, the second connection relationship is the connection relationship between the protocol conversion component and the second communication interface, and the second belonging relationship is the belonging relationship between the second communication port and the processor;

[0024] In step S204, at least two hard disk link information is generated based on the first connection relationship, the first home relationship, the second connection relationship and the second home relationship, wherein the at least two hard disk link information is used to record the hard disk in the at least two hard disks connected to the processor via the first communication port, the protocol conversion component and the second communication port to form a hard disk link.

[0025] The method in the embodiment can be applied to the field of server technology and can be applied to a scene of intelligently identifying and managing the hard disks connected to the protocol conversion components.

[0026] In a server environment, storage expansion is usually essential to meet the growing demand for data processing. The protocol of the central processor for external communication tends to be single and standardized, for example, Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe) has become mainstream to achieve high-speed and low-latency data transmission. However, external storage devices, especially hard disk drives, still use protocols such as Serial Advanced Technology Attachment (SATA), which are incompatible with PCIe in some aspects, especially in parallel transmission and low latency. This inconsistency in protocols leads to bottlenecks and efficiency problems in data transmission, especially when a high-speed CPU tries to communicate with a low-speed storage device. When the protocol supported by the hard disk is inconsistent with the protocol supported by the central processor (CPU) of the electronic device, a protocol conversion component is needed to bridge the communication between the two protocols.

[0027] In the protocol conversion scenario, the software layer number of the hard disk (such as sda, sdb, etc. in the operating system) does not directly reflect the physical location of the hard disk in the server. When the hard disk fails, the error information usually contains the software layer defined hard disk serial number, not the physical layer identifier. For example, when the error information prompts that "hard disk sdb fails", it is necessary to determine which physical hard disk position in the server chassis this "sdb" actually corresponds to. Without direct mapping, this may require manual inspection of system configuration, hard disk connection layout, or even physical inspection of hard disk connection position to determine the correct physical location. This process not only takes time, but also is prone to errors, especially in large server clusters where the number of hard disks is large and the physical location is complex.

[0028] In addition, because the serial number on the software level can change after each system startup, hard disk hot plug or hardware configuration change, it also causes additional difficulties in identifying and locating the faulty hard disk. In a server environment, hot plug technology allows users to replace hard disks without shutting down the system, which greatly improves the availability and maintainability of the system. However, hot plug operations can also introduce problems of serial number confusion. Specifically, when a hard disk is unplugged and reinserted, or a new hard disk is replaced, the operating system may reassign device identifiers. For example, in the system, hard disk devices can be named / dev / sda, / dev / sdb, etc. Due to the automatic identification mechanism of the system, the new hard disk or the hard disk after the position change may be assigned a different device identifier, for example, the original / dev / sda may become / dev / sdb. This change in serial number will affect the location of the hard disk.

[0029] The server system can be equipped with multiple storage controllers to achieve data redundancy, improve storage performance, or support more hard disks. In such a multi-controller scenario, the serial number assignment of the hard disk can be grouped according to the controller. This means that the hard disks connected under controller 0 can be identified by the operating system as sda and sdb, while the hard disks under controller 1 can be identified as sdc and sdd. Such grouping is related to the physical connection and configuration of the controller, but cannot intuitively reflect the physical location of the hard disk in the server chassis.

[0030] In addition, in some cases, especially for old servers or servers using non-standard backplane designs, it may not be possible to accurately deliver hard disk slot number information from the hardware level, and it may be necessary to rely on vendor-specific tools or manually mark the hard disk location.

[0031] Therefore, the hard disk disc sequence identification method of the related art has the technical problem of low efficiency of hard disk positioning.

[0032] To at least partially solve the above technical problems, the embodiment provides a hard disk disc sequence identification method, which can determine a first connection relationship, a first belonging relationship, a second connection relationship and a second belonging relationship, wherein the first connection relationship is a connection relationship between the hard disk and a first communication port, the first belonging relationship is a belonging relationship between the first communication port and a protocol conversion component, the second connection relationship is a connection relationship between the protocol conversion component and a second communication interface, and the second belonging relationship is a belonging relationship between the second communication port and the processor; at least two hard disk link information is generated based on the first connection relationship, the first belonging relationship, the second connection relationship and the second belonging relationship, wherein the at least two hard disk link information is used to record a hard disk link formed by a hard disk in the at least two hard disks connected to the processor via the first communication port, the protocol conversion component and the second communication port, and since the communication ports of the protocol conversion component and the processor are unique, the hard disk link information is identified based on the connection relationship between the hard disk and the first communication port, the belonging relationship between the first communication port and the protocol conversion component, the connection relationship between the protocol conversion component and the second communication interface and the belonging relationship between the second communication port and the processor, the hard disk serial number read on the software level can be associated with the specific hard disk link, the hard disk can be quickly located through the hard disk link, and therefore, the technical problem of low hard disk positioning efficiency of the hard disk disc sequence identification method in the related art can be solved, and the technical effect of improving the efficiency and accuracy of hard disk positioning is achieved.

[0033] In the embodiment, the electronic device can include at least one processor and at least two hard disks, and the interaction between these components can be achieved through at least one protocol conversion component, which can bridge the differences between different communication protocols and ensure smooth data transmission.

[0034] Optionally, the hard disk can be connected to the corresponding port of the protocol conversion component through the first communication port thereof, wherein the first communication port can be a port used for data exchange with the protocol conversion component, so as to ensure that the hard disk can send or receive data to the protocol conversion component, thereby indirectly communicating with the processor.

[0035] Optionally, the protocol conversion component can also be connected to the second communication port of the processor through the second communication port thereof.

[0036] Optionally, there can be one or more processors in the electronic device, and each processor can communicate with a plurality of hard disks through one or more protocol conversion components, wherein the communication protocol of the hard disk and the communication protocol of the processor can be different, and the conversion of the communication protocols is achieved through the protocol conversion component, for example, as Figure 3As shown, the processor 0 can be connected to a plurality of protocol conversion components, which can communicate through the PCIe protocol, and the plurality of protocol conversion components can be connected to a plurality of hard disks, which can communicate through the SATA protocol, to realize indirect communication between the processor and the hard disks.

[0037] Alternatively, there can also be a plurality of processors in the electronic device, such as Figure 4 As shown, the plurality of processors can also be connected to a plurality of protocol conversion components to realize mounting and indirect communication of the plurality of hard disks.

[0038] In this embodiment, the first connection relationship, the first attribution relationship, the second connection relationship, and the second attribution relationship can be determined.

[0039] Here, the first connection relationship refers to the connection relationship between the hard disk and the first communication port, and the first communication port is a port on the protocol conversion component. Through the first communication port, the protocol conversion component can directly communicate with the hard disk.

[0040] It should be noted that the relationship between the first communication port and the hard disk is unique, that is, there is a corresponding first communication port for each hard disk.

[0041] Alternatively, the first attribution relationship can be determined, that is, the attribution relationship between the first communication port and the protocol conversion component can be determined, and thus the corresponding relationship between the hard disk and the protocol conversion component can also be determined.

[0042] Here, the second connection relationship refers to the connection relationship between the protocol conversion component and the second communication port, and the second communication port is a port on the processor. Through the second communication port, the protocol conversion component can communicate data with the processor.

[0043] Alternatively, the first communication port and the second communication port can use different communication protocols.

[0044] Alternatively, in a multi-processor server, each CPU can have a plurality of communication ports, which can be connected to different protocol conversion components or other high-speed devices. In this regard, the second attribution relationship can be determined, that is, the attribution relationship between the second communication port and the processor can be determined, and thus the corresponding relationship between the protocol conversion component and the processor can be determined.

[0045] Optionally, the first communication port corresponding to the hard disk can be determined through the first connection relationship, and the protocol conversion component corresponding to the first communication port can be determined through the first attribution relationship, and the two together constitute a direct connection path between the hard disk and the protocol conversion component; similarly, the second communication port corresponding to the protocol conversion component can be determined through the second connection relationship, and the processor to which the second communication port specifically belongs can be determined through the second attribution relationship, and the second connection relationship and the second attribution relationship together define the transmission path of data from the protocol conversion component to the CPU, and further, in combination with the above four relationships, a set of detailed hard disk link information can be generated, and the above at least two hard disk link information can be used to record the hard disk link formed by the hard disk in the at least two hard disks connecting to the processor via the first communication port, the protocol conversion component and the second communication port.

[0046] Optionally, the at least two hard disk link information can include hard disk identification, hard disk corresponding first communication port information, hard disk corresponding protocol conversion component information, hard disk corresponding second communication port information, and hard disk corresponding processor information.

[0047] It should be noted that the hardware architecture of the electronic device is certain, that is, the data path of each hard disk to the CPU is also explicit, unique, and does not change with the change of the system state, and at the software level, the allocation of the hard disk serial number can be affected by factors such as hot plug operation and system restart, while the physical connection relationship between the components at the hardware level (i.e., the data path of the hard disk connecting to the CPU through which hardware components) is fixed. By identifying the hard disk link information, a stable mapping can be established, and even if the software serial number changes or the hard disk position changes, the link path of the hard disk can be reconstructed, the corresponding hardware position can be quickly located through the link information, and the physical position of the hard disk can also be dynamically updated at the software level.

[0048] By the embodiment of the present application, a hard disk sequence identification method is applied to an electronic device, the electronic device comprising at least one processor, a hard disk of at least two hard disks hung under the electronic device being connected to a first communication port of a protocol conversion component of at least one protocol conversion component hung under the electronic device, the protocol conversion component of the at least one protocol conversion component being connected to a second communication port of a processor of the at least one processor; the method comprises: determining a first connection relationship, a first attribution relationship, a second connection relationship and a second attribution relationship, wherein the first connection relationship is a connection relationship between the hard disk and the first communication port, the first attribution relationship is an attribution relationship between the first communication port and the protocol conversion component, the second connection relationship is a connection relationship between the protocol conversion component and the second communication port, and the second attribution relationship is an attribution relationship between the second communication port and the processor; and based on the first connection relationship, the first attribution relationship, the second connection relationship and the second attribution relationship, generating at least two hard disk link information, wherein the at least two hard disk link information is used to record a hard disk link formed by a hard disk of the at least two hard disks being connected to the processor via the first communication port, the protocol conversion component and the second communication port, so as to solve the technical problem of low efficiency of hard disk positioning in the related art hard disk sequence identification method, and improve the efficiency and accuracy of hard disk positioning.

[0049] In one example embodiment, a basic input output system is running on the electronic device;

[0050] The first connection relationship, the first attribution relationship, the second connection relationship and the second attribution relationship are determined, comprising:

[0051] The hard disk information of the hard disk hung under the electronic device is read by the basic input output system to obtain at least two hard disk information, wherein the at least two hard disk information is used to record the first connection relationship, one hard disk information of the at least two hard disk information corresponds to one hard disk of the at least two hard disks, and the one hard disk information of the at least two hard disk information comprises a hard disk serial number and first port information, in the one hard disk information of the at least two hard disk information, the hard disk serial number is a hard disk serial number of a hard disk corresponding to one hard disk information, and the first port information is port information of a first communication port to which a hard disk corresponding to one hard disk information is connected.

[0052] Here, the basic input output system (BIOS) is a firmware program in computer hardware, which runs before the operating system is loaded, and is responsible for completing the self-checking and initialization of the hardware. BIOS can identify and configure various hardware devices connected to the system, including hard disks, memories, network interface cards, etc.

[0053] In the embodiment, when the server starts, the basic input and output system on the electronic device can scan all hard disks connected to the electronic device, read their basic attributes, including hard disk serial numbers, manufacturer information, capacity size, health status, etc., and can also read the connection ports of the hard disks, which can be the first communication ports.

[0054] Optionally, through the process, the BIOS can generate at least two hard disk information, each of which can include data about a single hard disk, such as a hard disk serial number and first port information describing the connection between the hard disk and the sub-device.

[0055] Optionally, in the generated hard disk information, there is a one-to-one correspondence between each hard disk information and the actual hard disk. The hard disk serial number here can be an identifier assigned to the hard disk by the BIOS software layer, and the first port information can be the port information of the first communication port to which the hard disk corresponding to the hard disk information is connected.

[0056] It should be noted that in the at least two hard disk information, part of the information of different hard disks can be the same, for example, it can be the same or the manufacturer is the same, however, the connection port corresponding to each hard disk is unique, that is, a hard disk only corresponds to one first communication port (i.e. downstream port), the downstream port information of different hard disks is different, based on this, each hard disk can be numbered, the hard disk serial numbers of different hard disks are different, and the hard disk serial number and the first port information are one-to-one corresponding.

[0057] Optionally, in the case of basic input and output system startup, the hard disk information of the hard disk mounted under the electronic device can be read by the basic input and output system to obtain at least two hard disk information.

[0058] Through the embodiment, by reading the hard disk information of the hard disk mounted under the electronic device by the basic input and output system when starting, the accuracy and efficiency of hard disk information recording can be improved, and the efficiency of hard disk positioning can be improved.

[0059] In one example embodiment, after obtaining at least two hard disk information by reading the hard disk information of the hard disk mounted under the electronic device by the basic input and output system, the above method further comprises:

[0060] storing the at least two hard disk information into a first storage structure by the basic input and output system, wherein the first storage structure is a data structure for storing hard disk information, one of the at least two hard disk information is stored as a hard disk information record in the first storage structure, and the hard disk information record in the first storage structure includes a first serial number field for recording a hard disk serial number and a first port information field for recording first port information.

[0061] In the embodiment, after the BIOS reads the hard disk information of the hard disk mounted under the electronic device, the BIOS can store at least two hard disk information into the first storage structure, which can be creating a first storage structure for storage, or storing the at least two hard disk information into an existing first storage structure.

[0062] Optionally, the first storage structure can be a two-dimensional array, which can accommodate information records of multiple hard disks. Each record can correspond to a hard disk, that is, one of the at least two hard disk information can be stored as a hard disk information record in the first storage structure, and the hard disk information record in the first storage structure includes: a first serial number field for recording the serial number of the hard disk and a first port information field for recording the first port information.

[0063] Optionally, using a two-dimensional array to store hard disk information records can facilitate information management and retrieval. Each row of the two-dimensional array can represent a hard disk, and each column can represent different attributes of the hard disk, such as the serial number, manufacturer, capacity, status, and port information. This structure is very suitable for storing hardware information with multiple attributes, and is easy to traverse, retrieve, or update by program.

[0064] Optionally, in a hard disk information record, the first serial number field can be used to record the serial number of the hard disk, which can be a unique identifier assigned to the hard disk by the BIOS during initialization. The process of generating the serial number is the same as in the previous embodiment; the first port information field can be used to record information of the first communication port to which the hard disk is connected, such as port number, port type, etc.

[0065] Exemplarily, the first storage structure can be an HDD_Info array, and the data can include: {{hard disk 1, manufacturer information, hard disk capacity, downstream port information, status} {hard disk 2, manufacturer information, hard disk capacity, downstream port information, status}…}.

[0066] Through the embodiment, by storing the read hard disk information into the first storage structure, the efficiency of querying and managing hard disk information can be improved, which facilitates hard disk state monitoring, load balancing adjustment, and rapid positioning of faulty hard disks.

[0067] In an exemplary embodiment, a basic input / output system runs on an electronic device;

[0068] Determining the first connection relationship, the first attribution relationship, the second connection relationship, and the second attribution relationship includes:

[0069] The component port configuration information of the at least one protocol conversion component is acquired by the basic input output system, wherein the component port configuration information is used to record the first ownership relationship based on the combination of the component identification of the protocol conversion component and the port information of the first communication port.

[0070] In the embodiment, the basic input output system can also be used to acquire the information of the protocol conversion component, which can be used to acquire the component port configuration information of the at least one protocol conversion component to establish the first ownership relationship between the first communication port and the protocol conversion component, and further establish the corresponding relationship between the hard disk and the protocol conversion component.

[0071] Optionally, the BIOS can acquire the component identification of each protocol conversion component, which can be a serial number or a device number, and the embodiment does not limit this.

[0072] Optionally, the BIOS can also read the port information of all the first communication ports on the protocol conversion component, including but not limited to the port number, the supported protocol type, the state, etc.

[0073] Optionally, the BIOS can combine the component identification with the port information of the first communication port to form the component port configuration information, which is used to record the first ownership relationship to map each first communication port to a specific protocol conversion component, and further determine which port of which component a single hard disk is connected to even if there are multiple same protocol conversion components.

[0074] Through the embodiment, the limitation of the ownership relationship between the first communication port and the protocol conversion component by the component port configuration information can clearly define the ownership relationship, facilitate the definition of the connection path of the hard disk, and improve the efficiency of the hard disk positioning.

[0075] In one example embodiment, a basic input output system runs on an electronic device;

[0076] The first connection relationship, the first ownership relationship, the second connection relationship and the second ownership relationship are determined, comprising:

[0077] The protocol conversion component information of the protocol conversion component mounted under the electronic device is read by the basic input output system to obtain at least one protocol conversion component information, wherein the at least one protocol conversion component information is used to record the second connection relationship, one protocol conversion component information in the at least one protocol conversion component information corresponds to one protocol conversion component in the at least one protocol conversion component, and the one protocol conversion component information in the at least one protocol conversion component information includes component identification and second port information. In the one protocol conversion component information in the at least one protocol conversion component information, the component identification is the component identification of the protocol conversion component corresponding to the one protocol conversion component information, and the second port information is the port information of the second communication port to which the protocol conversion component corresponding to the one protocol conversion component information is connected.

[0078] In the embodiment, the basic input output system can read the protocol conversion component information of the protocol conversion component mounted under the electronic device to obtain at least one protocol conversion component information, and one protocol conversion component information in the at least one protocol conversion component information includes but is not limited to component identification and port information of the second communication port to which the protocol conversion component is connected.

[0079] Similar to the foregoing embodiments, the component serial number of the protocol conversion component can be a serial number, a device number or other unique code, which is not limited in the embodiment, as long as it is used to uniquely identify each protocol conversion component in the system.

[0080] Here, the second port information can be the port information of the communication port between the protocol conversion component and the processor, which can be a PCle port. Based on the component information and the second port information, the connection relationship between the protocol conversion component and the second communication port, i.e., the second connection relationship, can be determined and recorded in the at least one protocol conversion component information.

[0081] Through the embodiment, the second connection relationship is determined by reading the information of the protocol conversion chip mounted under the system by the BIOS, which can facilitate to clearly determine the connection path of the hard disk and improve the efficiency of hard disk positioning.

[0082] In one exemplary embodiment, after the protocol conversion component information of the protocol conversion component mounted under the electronic device is read by the basic input output system, the foregoing method further includes:

[0083] storing the at least one protocol conversion chip information into a second data structure by the basic input output system, wherein the second data structure is a data structure for storing protocol conversion chip information, one of the at least one protocol conversion chip information is stored as a protocol conversion chip information record in the second data structure, and the protocol conversion chip information record in the second data structure comprises a first chip identification field for recording chip identification and a second port information field for recording second port information.

[0084] In the embodiment, after reading the protocol conversion chip information of the protocol conversion chip mounted on the electronic device by the basic input output system, the at least one protocol conversion chip information can be stored into a second data structure.

[0085] Optionally, the second data structure can be a two-dimensional array, and the BIOS can create an independent record for each protocol conversion chip while accommodating multiple key fields such as chip identification and port information in each record.

[0140] For example, the protocol conversion chip serial number can be taken out from the two-dimensional array Soft_Ralationship one by one, such as taking out the protocol conversion chip 1, and comparing with each data in Protocol_Conversion_Chip_Info. If the serial numbers of the protocol conversion chips are consistent, the PCIe port number in the corresponding array in Protocol_Conversion_Chip_Info is taken out and placed in the array Soft_Ralationship.

[0152] In an exemplary embodiment, a basic input and output system is running on the electronic device;

[0153] Based on the first connection relationship, the first home relationship, the second connection relationship and the second home relationship, at least two hard disk link information are generated, including:

[0154] At least two hard disk link information are generated by the basic input and output system based on the first connection relationship, the first home relationship, the second connection relationship and the second home relationship, wherein one hard disk link information of the at least two hard disk link information corresponds to one hard disk of the at least two hard disks, and the one hard disk link information of the at least two hard disk link information includes a combination of a hard disk serial number, a port information of a first communication port, a component identifier of a protocol conversion component, a port information of a second communication port and a processor identifier of a processor.

[0158] Through the embodiment, the hard disk link information is recognized by the basic input / output system and stored in the two-dimensional array, which can improve the convenience of hard disk information query and improve the efficiency and accuracy of hard disk positioning.

[0159] In one example embodiment, the electronic device further includes a baseboard management controller;

[0160] After generating the at least two hard disk link information based on the first connection relationship, the first belonging relationship, the second connection relationship and the second belonging relationship, the method further includes:

[0161] The basic input / output system sends the at least two hard disk link information to the baseboard management controller;

[0162] In response to the received at least two hard disk link information, the baseboard management controller converts the at least two hard disk link information and hardware configuration information into a hard disk relationship table, wherein the hardware configuration information is used to indicate a hard disk physical serial number of a hard disk connected to a processor in the at least one processor, one of the at least two hard disk link information is converted into one of the hard disk relationship table, and the one of the hard disk relationship table includes the hard disk link information corresponding to the one of the hard disk relationship table and the hard disk physical serial number corresponding to the one of the hard disk relationship table.

[0163] Here, the Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) is a management unit independent of the main operating system, which can be used to monitor and manage the hardware resources of the system, and provides remote management and monitoring functions. Through various sensors and firmware functions, it can monitor the temperature, voltage, fan status, power status, etc. of the server, and can perform system restart, shutdown, etc.

[0164] In this embodiment, when the BIOS completes the generation process of at least two hard disk link information, one of which can include a complete communication path description between the hard disk and the processor, it can pass these information to the BMC for further processing and display.

[0165] Optionally, the BIOS can send the information to the baseboard management controller through the communication mechanism inside the system, such as through the Host to Baseboard (H2B) interface, to ensure that the information is transmitted between the firmware and the BMC safely and accurately.

[0169] In one exemplary embodiment, after the baseboard management controller converts at least two hard disk link information and hardware configuration information into a hard disk relationship table, the above method further comprises:

[0170] Display at least part of the hard disk relationship items in the hard disk relationship table on the visual interface through the baseboard management controller.

[0171] In this embodiment, in addition to the basic function of monitoring and managing the hardware state of the server, the baseboard management controller can further process and present the hardware connection information, so that it is displayed in an intuitive form in front of the user.

[0172] Optionally, after receiving the at least two hard disk link information via the BMC and combining them with the hardware configuration information to generate the hard disk relationship table, the BMC can display at least part of the hard disk relationship items in the hard disk relationship table on the visual interface, which can be a graphical representation such as a table, a chart or a graphical interface element, or other forms of representation, which can make the complex hardware connection and status information clear at a glance.

[0174] For example, a table can be used, in which each row represents a hard disk, and each column displays different attributes related to the hard disk relationship item. By filling the selected hard disk relationship item information into the visual table, each hard disk relationship item can be clearly listed, which can include the logical identifier of the hard disk, the physical serial number, the processor information connected to, the protocol conversion component information, etc. The display of these information can help users quickly locate the status and location of the hard disk. As shown in Table 1.

[0176]

[0177] Optionally, in addition to static information display, the visual interface can also include interactive functions, such as clicking on the hard disk serial number to view more detailed hard disk status, or quickly locating a specific hard disk through a search function.

[0178] Through this embodiment, by visualizing the hard disk relationship table, the efficiency of hard disk positioning can be improved, and the user experience can be optimized.

[0179] In one example embodiment, after generating the at least two hard disk link information based on the first connection relationship, the first belonging relationship, the second connection relationship and the second belonging relationship, the above method further comprises:

[0180] In response to the detected hot plug operation, the first connection relationship is re-determined, and the at least two hard disk link information is re-generated based on the re-determined first connection relationship, the first belonging relationship, the second connection relationship and the second belonging relationship.

[0181] Here, hot plug is a technology that allows computer hardware to be replaced, added or removed without interruption during runtime, which can handle hardware maintenance or expansion without shutting down or restarting the system. However, for the case of hot plug, the status of the hard disk can also be updated.

[0182] Optionally, a hot plug operation such as insertion or removal of a hard disk can be detected, which can be detected by a processor, by a BMC, by a sensor or underlying firmware, and the embodiment is not limited in this regard.
