Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the field of IDC computer room operation and maintenance technology, and in particular to an IDC computer room operation and maintenance system. Background Art
[0002] An IDC (Internet Data Center) is a facility equipped with comprehensive equipment (high-speed internet access bandwidth, high-performance local area networks, secure and reliable computer room environments, etc.), professional management, and a comprehensive application service platform. Based on this platform, an IDC can provide clients with basic internet platform services (such as server hosting, virtual hosting, email caching, virtual email, etc.) as well as various value-added services (such as site rental, domain name systems, load balancing systems, database systems, and data backup).
[0003] In related technologies, an IDC typically has a primary server and multiple backup servers. When switching from a primary server to a backup server, a switching priority is pre-set for each backup server, and the target backup server is determined based on the priority. However, the primary server's requirements for backup servers vary depending on its operating state. If a primary server experiences a failure during operation, directly using the priority to determine the target backup server could easily cause the target backup server to experience the same failure as the primary server during subsequent operation. Utility Model Content
[0004] In response to the deficiencies in the prior art, the present application provides an IDC computer room operation and maintenance system, which aims to solve the technical problem in the prior art that a backup server may have the same fault as the main server during operation.

[0006] The first sensor is used to monitor the real-time status of the main server in the IDC computer room to obtain first monitoring information;
[0007] The second sensor is used to monitor the real-time status of several backup servers in the IDC computer room to obtain second monitoring information;

[0009] The switching module is connected to the control module, the main server and the plurality of backup servers respectively, and is used to receive the control signal to switch the main server to the target backup server.
[0010] Furthermore, in the IDC computer room operation and maintenance system, the first sensor and the second sensor both include temperature sensors, which are connected to the switching module and are used to monitor the real-time temperatures of the main server and the plurality of backup servers.
[0011] Furthermore, in the IDC computer room operation and maintenance system, each of the standby servers is configured with a temperature sensor, or the cabinet / computer room where each of the standby servers is located is configured with a temperature sensor.
[0012] Furthermore, in the IDC computer room operation and maintenance system, when a fault occurs during the operation of the main server, the temperature of the target backup server is lower than that of the other backup servers, or the temperature of the cabinet / computer room where the target backup server is located is lower than that of the cabinets where the other backup servers are located.
[0013] Furthermore, in the IDC computer room operation and maintenance system, the system also includes several heat dissipation modules, one heat dissipation module is correspondingly provided for one of the backup servers, or the heat dissipation module is provided for the cabinet / computer room where the backup server is located. When the target backup server is running, the heat dissipation module corresponding to the target backup server dissipates heat for the target backup server.
[0014] Furthermore, in the IDC computer room operation and maintenance system, the first sensor and the second sensor both include humidity sensors, which are connected to the switching module and used to monitor the real-time humidity of the main server and the plurality of backup servers.
[0015] Furthermore, in the IDC computer room operation and maintenance system, each of the standby servers is configured with a humidity sensor, or the cabinet / computer room where each of the standby servers is located is configured with a humidity sensor.
[0016] Furthermore, in the IDC computer room operation and maintenance system, when a fault occurs during the operation of the main server, the humidity of the target backup server is lower than the humidity of the other backup servers, or the humidity of the cabinet / computer room where the target backup server is located is lower than the humidity of the cabinet / computer room where the other backup servers are located.
[0017] Furthermore, in the IDC computer room operation and maintenance system, before the main server fails, some or all of the backup servers are in a dormant state.
[0018] Furthermore, in the IDC computer room operation and maintenance system, the system further includes a wake-up module, and the wake-up module is used to wake up some or all of the standby servers.
[0019] The IDC computer room operation and maintenance system provided in the embodiment of the present application monitors the real-time status of the main server and several backup servers in the IDC computer room by setting sensors in the system. At the same time, a control module and a switching module are set in the system. When a fault occurs during the operation of the main server, the control module sends a control signal to the switching module based on the monitoring information of the sensor. The switching module can then switch the main server to the target backup server based on the control signal model, thereby preventing the backup server from having the same fault as the main server during operation, thereby improving the stability of the servers in the IDC computer room.

[0028] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 1 A schematic block diagram of an IDC computer room operation and maintenance system provided in an embodiment of the present application; Figure 2 Another schematic block diagram of the IDC computer room operation and maintenance system provided in the embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, an IDC computer room operation and maintenance system 100 includes:
[0029] The first sensor 101 is used to monitor the real-time status of the main server 200 in the IDC room and obtain first monitoring information;
[0030] The second sensor 102 is used to monitor the real-time status of the plurality of backup servers 300 in the IDC computer room to obtain second monitoring information;
[0031] The control module 103 is connected to the first sensor 101 and the second sensor 102, and is configured to determine a target backup server from among the backup servers 300 based on the first monitoring information and the second monitoring information, and send a control signal when a failure of the primary server 200 is detected according to the first monitoring information;
[0032] The switching module 104 is connected to the control module 103 , the main server 200 and the plurality of backup servers 300 , respectively, and is configured to receive the control signal to switch the main server 200 to the target backup server.
[0033] The primary server 200 is configured with multiple backup servers 300. The primary server 200 serves as the primary server 200 providing services to clients in the IDC, while the backup servers 300 serve as backup servers, providing services in the event that the primary server 200 fails or becomes unavailable. Depending on the specific network and the services provided, the primary server 200 and the backup servers 300 can have different roles and responsibilities. For example, the primary server 200 may be responsible for hosting a website, while the backup servers 300 can take over and provide services to clients in the event of a failure of the primary server 200.
[0034] In this embodiment, a first sensor 101 and a second sensor 102 are provided to monitor the real-time status of the primary server 200 and the backup server 300 in the IDC computer room, respectively. The main purpose is to monitor the key indicators that cause failures during the operation of the primary server 200. In other words, the monitoring information collected by the first sensor 101 and the second sensor 102 is data information of the key indicators that cause failures during the operation of the primary server 200. Then, during the operation of the primary server 200, if the type of failure of the primary server 200 is related to the key indicator, the control module 103 can send control information to the switching module based on the monitoring information collected by the first sensor 101 and the second sensor 102, and then the switching module 104 can switch the primary server 200 to the target backup server, thereby preventing the target backup server from suffering the same failure as the primary server 200 during subsequent operation, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the IDC computer room.
[0035] Among them, the key indicators may be temperature, humidity, etc., that is, the main cause of the failure of the main server 200 may be temperature, humidity, etc. In other words, the failure of the main server 200 mentioned in this application during operation is not caused by a failure of the application program of the main server 200 itself, but is mainly caused by the failure of the main server 200 to dissipate heat in a timely manner during operation, or due to excessive external humidity. In other words, the failure of the main server 200 mentioned in this application during operation is caused by the hardware of the main server 200 itself.
[0036] It can be understood that key indicators can refer to indicators that affect the hardware of the main server 200 itself. To this end, the present application monitors the real-time status of the main server 200 and the backup server 300 in the IDC computer room by setting a first sensor 101 and a second sensor 102 in the system, and at the same time sets a control module 103 and a switching module 104 in the system. When a fault occurs during the operation of the main server 200, the control module 103 can directly send a control signal to the switching module 104 through the monitoring information collected by the first sensor 101 and the second sensor 102, so that the switching module 104 switches the main server 200 to the target backup server, thereby avoiding the backup server 300 from having the same fault as the main server 200 during operation, thereby improving the stability of the server in the IDC computer room.
[0037] In addition, the first sensor 101 and the second sensor 102 mentioned in this application are mainly used to monitor the real-time status of the hardware of the main server 200 and the backup server 300 themselves. The real-time status can be the real-time temperature condition of the hardware of the main server 200 and the backup server 300 themselves, or it can be the temperature and humidity of the environment in which the main server 200 and the backup server 300 are currently located.
[0038] The target backup server refers to a server that is less likely to experience the same failure as the primary server 200 when replacing the primary server 200. Furthermore, the switching module 104 mentioned in this application does not simply refer to a virtual module in the management terminal that switches between the primary server 200 and the backup server 300. It can also be a switch, a hardware module, and can manually perform the primary / backup switching. Furthermore, the control module 103 can be a control chip.
[0039] In some embodiments, the first sensor 101 and the second sensor 102 both include temperature sensors, which are connected to the switching module 104 and are used to monitor the real-time temperatures of the main server 200 and the plurality of backup servers 300 .
[0040] In this embodiment, the temperature sensor can be used to monitor the real-time temperature of the main server 200 and the backup server 300 during operation, and can also be used to monitor the real-time temperature of the cabinet where the server is located. When the main server 200 fails due to excessive temperature during operation, the real-time temperature monitored by the temperature sensor can be used to determine the real-time temperature of each backup server 300, thereby selecting the backup server 300 with the lowest real-time temperature from the backup servers 300 as the target backup server. Then, the control module 103 and the switching module 104 can be used to switch the main server 200 to the target backup server to ensure the normal operation of the IDC computer room.
[0041] It should be noted that the main server 200 and the backup server 300 may be in the same cabinet of the IDC computer room, or they may not be in the same cabinet of the IDC computer room. When there is one main server 200 and multiple backup servers 300 in the IDC computer room, some of the backup servers 300 in the IDC computer room may be in the same cabinet as the main server 200, all of the backup servers 300 may be in the same cabinet as the main server 200, or none of the backup servers 300 may be in the same cabinet as the main server 200. Therefore, the second sensor 102 for monitoring the backup server 300 may either directly monitor the real-time temperature of the backup server 300 or monitor the real-time temperature of the cabinet where the backup server 300 is located. That is, the real-time status of the backup server 300 monitored by the sensor 101 may be determined based on the positional relationship between the backup server 300 and the main server 200.
[0042] Similarly, the first sensor 101 can also monitor the real-time temperature of the hardware of the main server 200 itself, and can also monitor the real-time temperature of the cabinet where the main server 200 is located. That is, the real-time status of the main server 200 monitored by the first sensor 101 can be determined based on the positional relationship between the backup server 300 and the main server 200.
[0043] In addition, it should be noted that when there is a backup server 300 in the cabinet or computer room where the main server 200 is located, when it is necessary to monitor the real-time temperature of the cabinet or computer room, only one temperature sensor is needed. At this time, the target backup server is not in the same computer room or cabinet as the main server 200.
[0044] In some embodiments, each of the standby servers 300 is configured with a temperature sensor, or the cabinet / computer room where each of the standby servers 300 is located is configured with a temperature sensor.
[0045] In this embodiment, by configuring a temperature sensor for each backup server 300, or configuring a temperature sensor for the cabinet / computer room where each backup server 300 is located, the real-time status of each backup server 300 can be monitored more accurately, so that when a corresponding failure occurs in the main server 200, the target backup server can be selected more accurately, thereby better ensuring the normal operation of the IDC computer room.
[0046] It should be noted that the number of temperature sensors can be determined based on the number of main servers 200 and backup servers 300, the number of cabinets in the IDC computer room, or the positional relationship of the backup servers 300 in the IDC computer room. That is, it can be selected based on actual applications, and this application does not make any specific restrictions.
[0047] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the system also includes several heat dissipation modules 105, and one of the backup servers 300 is correspondingly provided with a heat dissipation module 105, or a cabinet / computer room where the backup server 300 is located is provided with a heat dissipation module 105. When the target backup server is running, the heat dissipation module 105 corresponding to the target backup server dissipates heat for the target backup server.
[0048] In this embodiment, each backup server 300 can be configured with a heat dissipation module 105. The heat dissipation module 105 is mainly used to dissipate heat for the backup server 300. In particular, when the main server 200 fails due to excessive temperature, the heat dissipation module 105 corresponding to the target backup server is used to dissipate heat for the target backup server that needs to replace the main server 200 to work, thereby ensuring that the target backup server will not fail due to excessive temperature during subsequent operation, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the IDC computer room.
[0049] Among them, the heat dissipation module 105 can be a liquid cooling plate, that is, the target standby server is liquid-cooled by plate liquid cooling, or the target standby server is liquid-cooled by immersion liquid cooling, or the target standby server can be liquid-cooled by fans, air conditioners, etc. The heat dissipation module 105 can be selected according to actual applications, and this application does not make specific limitations.
[0050] It should also be noted that the main server 200 can also be configured with a heat dissipation module 105, thereby preventing the main server 200 from malfunctioning due to excessive temperature. At this time, the second sensor 102 configured for the backup server 300 can be a humidity sensor, but it can also be a temperature sensor. At this time, the performance of the heat dissipation module 105 configured for the backup server 300 is stronger than the performance of the heat dissipation module 105 configured for the main server 200, that is, the backup server 300 can add one more heat dissipation module 105, but the heat dissipation module 105 configured for the backup server 300 only needs to be put into use when the backup server 300 is running, thereby reducing the energy consumption of the IDC computer room.
[0051] In some embodiments, the first sensor 101 and the second sensor 102 both include humidity sensors, which are connected to the switching module 104 and are used to monitor the real-time humidity of the main server 200 and the plurality of backup servers 300 in the IDC room.
[0052] In this embodiment, the humidity sensor can be used to monitor the real-time humidity of the main server 200 and the backup server 300 during operation, and can also be used to monitor the real-time humidity of the cabinet where the server is located. When the main server 200 fails due to excessive humidity during operation, the real-time humidity of each backup server 300 can be determined by the humidity temperature monitored by the humidity sensor, so that the backup server 300 with the lowest real-time humidity can be selected from the backup servers 300 as the target backup server. Then, the control module 103 and the switching module 104 can be used to switch the main server 200 to the target backup server to ensure the normal operation of the IDC computer room.
[0053] It should be noted that the main server 200 and the backup server 300 may be in the same cabinet of the IDC computer room, or they may not be in the same cabinet of the IDC computer room. When there is one main server 200 and multiple backup servers 300 in the IDC computer room, some of the backup servers 300 in the IDC computer room may be in the same cabinet as the main server 200, all of the backup servers 300 may be in the same cabinet as the main server 200, or none of the backup servers 300 may be in the same cabinet as the main server 200. Therefore, the second sensor 102 for monitoring the backup server 300 may either directly monitor the real-time humidity of the backup server 300 or monitor the real-time humidity of the cabinet where the backup server 300 is located. That is, the real-time status of the backup server 300 monitored by the second sensor 102 may be determined based on the positional relationship between the backup server 300 and the main server 200. Similarly, the first sensor 101 can also monitor the real-time humidity of the hardware of the main server 200 itself, and can also monitor the real-time humidity of the cabinet where the main server 200 is located. That is, the real-time status of the main server 200 monitored by the first sensor 101 can be determined based on the positional relationship between the backup server 300 and the main server 200.
[0054] In addition, it should be noted that when there is a backup server 300 in the cabinet or computer room where the main server 200 is located, when it is necessary to monitor the real-time humidity of the cabinet or computer room, only one humidity sensor is needed. At this time, the target backup server is not in the same computer room or cabinet as the main server 200.
[0055] In some embodiments, each of the standby servers 300 is configured with a humidity sensor, or the cabinet / computer room where each of the standby servers 300 is located is configured with a humidity sensor.
[0056] In this embodiment, by configuring a humidity sensor for each backup server 300, or configuring a humidity sensor for the cabinet / computer room where each backup server 300 is located, the real-time status of each backup server 300 can be monitored more accurately, so that when a corresponding failure occurs in the main server 200, the target backup server can be selected more accurately, thereby better ensuring the normal operation of the IDC computer room.
[0057] It should be noted that the number of humidity sensors can be determined according to the number of backup servers 300, the number of cabinets in the IDC computer room, or the positional relationship of the backup servers 300 in the IDC computer room. That is, it can be selected according to actual applications, and this application does not make specific restrictions.
[0058] It should also be noted that when a target backup server with the lowest humidity is used to replace the primary server 200, the target backup server can also be equipped with a module for drying the target backup server. This module primarily serves to dry the target backup server, thereby preventing malfunctions caused by excessive humidity in the primary server 200 during operation and ensuring the normal operation of the IDC room. Simultaneously, each backup server 300 can be equipped with a module for drying the target backup server, and the primary server 200 can also be equipped with a drying module. These modules can be configured similarly to the heat dissipation module 105 mentioned above and will not be elaborated on in detail here.
[0059] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 As shown, before the main server 200 fails, part or all of the backup servers 300 are in a dormant state. The system further includes a wake-up module 106 , which is used to wake up part or all of the backup servers 300 .
[0060] In this embodiment, to reduce energy consumption in the IDC room, the backup servers 300 in the IDC room can be placed in a dormant state while the primary server 200 is operating normally. Specifically, some or all of the backup servers 300 in the IDC room enter dormant mode. Furthermore, if the primary server 200 malfunctions due to excessive temperature or humidity, a wake-up module 106 can be used to wake up the target backup server, allowing it to replace the primary server 200 and operate.
[0061] It should be noted that the wake-up module 106 can also wake up all the backup servers 300 in advance before the main server 200 encounters a risk, or it can wake up only the target backup server in advance, or it can wake up some backup servers 300, and it can also wake up the backup server 300 that is closest to the current environment of the main server 200. At the same time, the prerequisite for wake-up can also be selected based on the monitoring information collected by the first sensor 101 and the second sensor 102, so as to achieve the effect of rapid switching between the primary and backup servers.
[0062] It should also be noted that the wake-up module 106 is similar to the switching module 104 mentioned in this application. It does not only refer to a virtual module in the management terminal that wakes up the backup server 300. It can also be a switch, a hardware module, and can manually execute the wake-up of the backup server 300.
[0063] In addition, the wake-up module 106 can also be connected to the first sensor 101 and the second sensor 102. When it is determined from the monitoring information collected by the first sensor 101 that the main server 200 is about to fail, it can wake up some or all of the backup servers 300.
[0064] At the same time, the wake-up module 106 can also be connected to the control module 103. Before sending a control signal to the switching module 104, the control module 103 can send a signal to the wake-up module 106 in advance, and then the wake-up module 106 can wake up some or all of the standby servers 300.
[0065] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of the present application, but the scope of protection of the present application is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can easily conceive of various equivalent modifications or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed in the present application, and such modifications or substitutions should be included in the scope of protection of the present application. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present application should be based on the scope of protection of the claims.
