[0056] Figure 1 The diagram illustrates an application scenario of the server power supply testing method according to an embodiment of this application. For example... Figure 1 As shown, application scenario 100 according to an embodiment of this application may include a first terminal device 101, a second terminal device 102, a third terminal device 103, a network 104, and a server 105. The network 104 serves as a medium for providing a communication link between the first terminal device 101, the second terminal device 102, the third terminal device 103, and the server 105. The network 104 may include various connection types, such as wired or wireless communication links or fiber optic cables. For example, a user can use the first terminal device 101, the second terminal device 102, and the third terminal device 103 to interact with the server 105 through the network 104 to receive or send information, etc.

[0057] The first terminal device 101, the second terminal device 102, and the third terminal device 103 can be electronic devices such as private servers, wearable devices, personal computers, intelligent voice interaction devices, smart home appliances, intelligent vehicles, in-vehicle terminals, aircraft, unmanned vending terminals, and extended reality devices.

A client application for the target application can be installed and run on the terminal devices. This target application can include, but is not limited to, financial transaction applications, payment applications, shopping applications, web browser applications, search applications, instant messaging tools, email clients, and social media platform software (these are just examples). Furthermore, this application embodiment does not limit the form of the target application, and it can include, but is not limited to, applications, mini-programs, etc., installed on the terminal devices, and can also be in web page form.

[0058] Server 105 can be a server providing various services, such as a backend management server supporting websites browsed by users using the first terminal device 101, the second terminal device 102, and the third terminal device 103 (this is just an example). The backend management server can analyze and process received user requests and other data, and feed back the processing results (such as web pages, information, or data obtained or generated according to user requests) to the terminal devices.

The server can be the backend server of the aforementioned target application, used to provide backend services to the clients of the target application.

[0059] It should be noted that the server power supply testing method provided in this application embodiment can generally be executed by server 105 and / or terminal devices 101-103. Accordingly, the server power supply testing device provided in this application embodiment can generally be installed in server 105 and / or terminal devices 101-103.

[0060] It should be understood that Figure 1 The number of terminal devices, networks, and servers shown is merely illustrative. Depending on implementation needs, any number of terminal devices, networks, and servers can be included.

[0061] The following will be based on Figure 1 The described scene, through Figures 2-8The server power supply testing method of the disclosed embodiments is described in detail. It should be noted that the above application scenarios are shown only to facilitate understanding of the spirit and principles of this application, and the implementation methods of this application are not limited in any way. Rather, the implementation methods of this application can be applied to any applicable scenario.

[0062] Figure 2 A flowchart illustrating a server power supply testing method according to an embodiment of this application is shown schematically.

[0063] like Figure 2 As shown, the method 200 includes steps S210 to S230.

[0064] Step S210: Obtain the base operating system image, integration testing tools, communication protocol client, and test scripts; and generate a target container instance based on the base operating system image, integration testing tools, communication protocol client, and test scripts.

[0065] Figure 3 The flowchart illustrating the generation of a target container instance in a server power testing method according to an embodiment of this application is shown in the illustration.

[0066] like Figure 3 As shown, the method 300 includes steps S310 to S320.

[0067] Step S310: Obtain the base operating system image, integration testing tools, communication protocol client, and test scripts; based on the base operating system image, integration testing tools, communication protocol client, and test scripts, generate a container image containing a complete testing environment.

[0068] According to an embodiment of this application, the integration testing tool, the communication protocol client, and the test script can be integrated into the base operating system image, a container image containing a complete test environment can be generated by building and generating instructions, and the container image containing the complete test environment can be stored in a private image repository.

[0069] For example, a base operating system image can be pulled from a remote repository, along with testing tools such as MachineCheck, communication protocol clients such as SSH and SNMP clients, test scripts such as Python scripts, and other dependency library data. These tools, along with other dependency library data, can be integrated into the base operating system image. A customized container image containing complete testing capabilities can then be generated using build instructions. This customized container image can be pushed to a private image repository for storage, facilitating version management and secure distribution.

[0070] By storing container images containing complete test environments in a private image repository, the efficiency of centralized management and version traceability of test environment assets can be effectively improved, thereby accelerating test deployment and achieving the technical effect of improving server power testing efficiency.

[0071] Return to reference Figure 3 In step S320, the container image containing the complete test environment is obtained, and a target container instance is generated based on the container image containing the complete test environment.

[0072] For example, a customized container image containing full testing capabilities can be pulled from a private repository on the test control node, and a container instance can be enabled based on the customized container image containing full testing capabilities to generate the target container instance.

[0073] By generating a target container instance from a base operating system image, integration testing tools, communication protocol clients, and test scripts, a container image containing a complete testing environment can be created. This allows the operating system, tools, and scripts to be packaged into a standardized, portable, and operational test unit. It offers advantages such as rapid test deployment and resource isolation, eliminates differences in testing environments, and significantly improves the compatibility of server power testing while also effectively enhancing the efficiency of server power testing.

[0074] Return to reference Figure 2 In step S220, a pre-set server power test configuration file is obtained, the server power test configuration file is loaded onto the target container instance, and the target container environment is generated. The server power test configuration file includes: server power test type.

[0075] According to the embodiments of this application, a pre-set server power test configuration file can be obtained. The server power test configuration file can be a config.ini configuration file. By loading the externally mounted config.ini configuration file onto the target container instance, the parameters and code are separated, and the target container environment is generated.

[0076] In addition, SSH and SNMP connection modules can be initialized in the target container environment to facilitate the execution of test tasks.

[0077] Step S230: Perform server power testing on the target server in the target container environment according to the server power test type, and generate server power test results.

[0078] According to embodiments of this application, server power supply test types may include restart tests, shutdown tests, and power-off tests. Test types can be defined and corresponding operations performed through the config.ini configuration file.

[0079] Figure 4 The flowchart illustrating the restart test in the server power test method according to an embodiment of this application is shown in the illustration.

[0080] like Figure 4 As shown, the method 400 includes steps S410 to S420.

[0081] Step S410: Connect to the target server via an in-band channel communication protocol client and restart the target server.

[0082] For example, the system can be restarted by sending the reboot command via SSH, triggering an operating system-level reboot.

[0083] Step S420: Obtain key information after the target server restarts, analyze the key information after the target server restarts, and generate the server power test results.

[0084] By performing the restart operation through the in-band channel and obtaining key information after the restart to generate test results, no additional agent programs need to be installed on the server, maintaining the purity of the tested system environment, effectively avoiding interference caused by installing third-party programs, and effectively ensuring the credibility of the restart test.

[0085] Figure 5 The flowchart illustrating the power-off test in the server power test method according to an embodiment of this application is shown in the illustration.

[0086] like Figure 5 As shown, the method 500 includes steps S510 to S530.

[0087] Step S510: Connect to the target server via an in-band channel communication protocol client and perform a shutdown operation on the target server.

[0088] For example, you can send the init 0 command via SSH to shut down the system. After shutting down the target server, use Ping to confirm that the target machine is offline, and then wait for the scheduled power-on.

[0089] Step S520: Power on the target server after it has been shut down, according to the preset power-on cycle.

[0090] For example, after powering on a target server that has been shut down, you can continuously attempt SSH connections to confirm that the system has started and you have entered the system.

[0091] Step S530: Obtain key information after the target server is powered on, analyze the key information after the target server is powered on, and generate the server power test results.

[0092] By employing in-band channel shutdown, automatic power-on according to preset cycles, and acquisition of post-power-on information to generate test results, the cold start server power supply test is completed through shutdown, waiting, power-on, and verification steps, effectively improving the accuracy and reliability of server power supply test results.

[0093] Figure 6 The flowchart illustrating the server power supply test method for power interruption testing according to an embodiment of this application is shown schematically.

[0094] like Figure 6 As shown, the method 600 includes steps S610 to S650.

[0095] Step S610: Connect to the target server via an in-band channel communication protocol client and perform a shutdown operation on the target server.

[0096] According to an embodiment of this application, the target server can be connected via an in-band channel communication protocol client to perform a shutdown operation on the target server, and the shutdown operation on the target server can be verified by a network tool.

[0097] For example, you can connect to the target server using an in-band channel communication protocol client via SSH, send the `init 0` command to the target server, and shut it down. After shutting down the target server, you can use a network tool like Ping to confirm that the target machine is offline, thus completing the shutdown verification process.

[0098] Verifying the shutdown of the target server using network tools can effectively avoid false shutdowns and ensure the reliability of the shutdown operation, thereby ensuring the reliability and accuracy of server power supply testing.

[0099] Step S620: The power distribution unit electrically connected to the target server is powered off by controlling the out-of-band channel communication protocol client.

[0100] For example, a power-off operation can be performed by controlling the power distribution unit (PDU) electrically connected to the target server via an out-of-band communication protocol client (SNMP).

[0101] Step S630: Power supply is supplied to the power distribution unit that is electrically connected to the target server after the power outage operation is performed, according to the preset power outage cycle.

[0102] Step S640: Power on the target server after the shutdown operation.

[0103] According to an embodiment of this application, a power-on operation can be performed on a target server after a power-off operation, and the power-on verification of the target server after the power-on operation can be performed through a communication protocol.

[0104] For example, after powering on a target server that has been shut down, you can try to connect to the target server using the SSH protocol to confirm that the system has started and you can enter the system, thus completing the power-on verification of the target server.

[0105] Verifying the target server after power-on via communication protocols can effectively avoid misjudgments caused by not being powered on or having a delayed power-on, ensuring the reliability of key data obtained after power-on, and thus ensuring the reliability and accuracy of server power testing.

[0106] Step S650: Obtain key information after the target server is powered on, analyze the key information after the target server is powered on, and generate the server power test results.

[0107] Figure 7 The flowchart illustrating the consistency verification of key information in the server power supply testing method according to an embodiment of this application is shown in the illustration.

[0108] like Figure 7 As shown, the method 700 includes steps S710 to S730.

[0109] Step S710: Verify the consistency between the central processing unit information, memory information, disk information, network card information, power supply information, and controller event log of the target server after it is powered on and the initial baseline data.

[0110] Step S720: If the CPU information, memory information, disk information, network card information, power supply information, and controller event log of the target server after power-on are inconsistent with the initial baseline data, a server power test result indicating that the server power test has failed is generated.

[0111] For example, if the CPU information, memory information, disk information, network card information, power supply information, and controller event log of the target server after power-on show inconsistencies with the initial baseline data, it indicates that there are problems such as BIOS version change, RAID array downgrade, or PSU abnormal alarm. In this case, it can be determined that the test has failed, a server power test result indicating that the server power test has failed is generated, the log is recorded, and the process is terminated.

[0112] Step S730: If the CPU information, memory information, disk information, network card information, power supply information, and controller event log of the target server after power-on are consistent with the initial baseline data, then obtain the non-critical information of the target server after power-on, analyze the non-critical information of the target server after power-on, and generate the server power test results.

[0113] Figure 8 The flowchart illustrating the consistency verification of non-critical information in the server power supply testing method according to an embodiment of this application is shown in the illustration.

[0114] like Figure 8 As shown, the method 800 includes steps S810 to S830.

[0115] Step S810: Verify the compliance of the blacklist / whitelist information, server temperature information, and event log error code information after the target server is powered on.

[0116] Step S820: If the blacklist / whitelist information, server temperature information, and event log error code information of the target server after power-on are compliant, then generate a server power test result indicating that the server power test has passed.

[0117] According to an embodiment of this application, if a server power test result indicating that the server power test has passed is generated, a preset counter is incremented and the test is performed again until the preset counter reaches a preset threshold, at which point the test is terminated and a structured test report is generated.

[0118] For example, a counter can be incremented after each round of testing. If the preset number of laps is not reached, the next round continues; otherwise, the test ends. After the test is completed, all intermediate logs, baseline comparison results, anomaly records, and other files can be collected to generate a structured test report.

[0119] By providing a loop mechanism and threshold control for testing through preset counters, the quality of testing can be effectively improved through multiple rounds of testing. Furthermore, by generating structured test reports, the test results can be effectively displayed, thereby enhancing the user experience.

[0120] Step S830: If the blacklist / whitelist information, server temperature information, and event log error code information of the target server after power-on are not compliant, a server power test result indicating that the server power test has failed is generated.

[0121] By verifying the compliance of the blacklist / whitelist information, server temperature information, and event log error code information after the target server is powered on, the test quality can be improved from the perspectives of security, heat dissipation, and stability, thereby further improving the reliability and accuracy of the generated server power test results.

[0122] By verifying the consistency of CPU, memory, disk, network interface card (NIC), power supply, and controller event logs after the target server is powered on with the initial baseline data, comprehensive data verification can be achieved, including verification of computer resources, storage and memory resources, network and power supply, and fault self-test logs. This makes the generated server power supply test results more accurate. Furthermore, by verifying non-critical information after confirming the consistency of critical information, the reliability and accuracy of the generated server power supply test results can be further improved.

[0123] By employing techniques such as in-band shutdown, out-of-band power failure, and delayed power-on, the system can acquire key information after power-on and generate test results. This allows the server to undergo a complete boot process, starting from hardware self-test. Furthermore, in-band shutdown and out-of-band power failure ensure the stability of server power supply testing, making the testing more accurate and effectively improving its reliability and precision.

[0124] According to an embodiment of this application, a base image can first be pulled from a remote repository. Testing tools such as MachineCheck, SSH / SNMP clients, Python scripts, and dependent libraries are then integrated into the container image. Container generation instructions are used to generate a customized image containing complete testing capabilities. This customized image is then pushed to an enterprise-level private image repository for version management and secure distribution, thereby completing the construction of a standardized test image.

[0125] Next, the latest test image is pulled from the private repository on the test control node, the container instance is started, and the externally mounted config.ini configuration file is loaded to separate parameters from code. Then, the SSH and SNMP connection modules are initialized to prepare for executing test tasks and complete the rapid deployment of the test environment.

[0126] Then, based on the test type defined in config.ini, select the corresponding operation path to perform multi-mode power cycle testing. For example, you can send the reboot command via SSH to trigger an operating system-level restart to complete the reboot test. Alternatively, you can send the init 0 command to shut down the system and then wait for a timed power-on to complete the DC shutdown test. Or, you can first shut down via SSH and then control the PDU via SNMP to perform a power-off → delay → power-on operation to complete the AC power-off test. During multi-mode power cycle testing, you can use Ping to confirm that the target machine is offline after the shutdown operation. After powering on, you can continuously try SSH connections to confirm that the system has started and entered the system. Once a successful connection is established, immediately run the MachineCheck tool to collect key information such as CPU, memory, disk, network card, PSU power consumption, and controller event logs, and compare the currently collected data with the initial baseline data item by item. If inconsistencies are found in fields such as BIOS version changes, RAID array downgrades, or PSU abnormal alarms after item-by-item comparison, the test is considered a failure, the log is recorded, and the process is terminated. If the data is consistent, further checks are performed on health indicators such as blacklist / whitelist compliance, temperature thresholds, and event log error codes. A counter is incremented after each round of testing; if the preset number of rounds is not reached, the next round continues; otherwise, the test ends.

[0127] Finally, after the test is completed, the container automatically collects all intermediate logs, baseline comparison results, exception records, and other files, and automatically generates a test report.

[0128] According to embodiments of this application, a three-layer decoupled architecture of "control layer, communication layer, and decision layer" is adopted to break down the barriers between the software environment and hardware operation in traditional testing, effectively improving the reliability and accuracy of testing. In the control layer, a container is used as a carrier to encapsulate a complete test execution environment, including a Python runtime, SSH / SNMP client library, MachineCheck tool, test scripts, and dependent components. This container, as a lightweight and portable "test engine," can be quickly deployed on any host that supports container operation, without needing to concern itself with the specific configuration of the host system. In the communication layer: the in-band channel uses the SSH protocol to connect to the target machine, executing commands such as reboot or init 0 during normal operating system operation to complete restart or shutdown operations. The out-of-band channel accesses the intelligent PDU via the SNMP protocol to achieve physical power-on and power-off. Full-scenario control of the target server is achieved through a dual-channel collaborative mechanism of in-band and out-of-band. In the decision layer, a closed-loop control process is formed based on configuration-driven and status verification mechanisms. The test type, number of runs, target identifier, authentication credentials, and other parameters are defined in the config.ini file. After each round of operation, the MachineCheck tool is automatically called to collect system information, compare it with the initial baseline data, determine whether the system has returned to normal and is consistent with the status, and generate test results.
