Rack Server Detection System with Staged L10 L11 Process
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional detection systems for racks and servers require interrupting the detection process to repair or replace faulty units, leading to increased detection time.
Innovation Solution
A detection system that performs server process detection (L10 stage) on each server in the rack, and then rack process detection (L11 stage), with the option to repair or replace servers and continue the detection flow using backup servers when failures are detected.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the conventional detection flow performs server process detection (L10 stage) and rack process detection (L11 stage) separately with interruptions for repairs, then detection completeness is improved, but detection time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary server process detection (L10 stage) on all servers before conducting rack process detection (L11 stage). This preliminary action identifies faulty servers in advance, allowing the detection flow to skip them during L11 stage and continue without interruptions, thereby reducing total detection time while maintaining detection completeness
Solution Approach 2:
The detection process is segmented into two distinct stages: L10 server process detection and L11 rack process detection. By dividing the detection flow into segments and executing them in sequence with different scope (individual servers first, then the entire rack), the system optimizes detection efficiency and reduces time loss compared to conventional simultaneous detection with interruptions
2Measurement precision
If the detection process interrupts to repair or replace faulty servers, then detection accuracy is improved, but productivity decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The system extracts and identifies faulty servers during the L10 stage detection, separating them from the normal detection flow. These faulty servers are then excluded from the L11 rack process detection, allowing the detection process to continue with remaining servers without interruptions. This extraction approach maintains detection accuracy by identifying faults while preserving productivity by avoiding repeated interruptions
Solution Approach 2:
The detection process maintains continuity by performing L10 stage detection on all servers first, then proceeding to L11 stage detection on the rack without interrupting the flow for repairs. The useful detection action continues uninterrupted through proper sequencing and filtering of faulty units, thereby maintaining both accuracy and high detection throughput

AI summary
A process detection system for rack and server in rack is disclosed. In the system, a detection device performs a server process detection of L10 stage on servers in a rack, and performs a rack process detection of L11 stage; when the detection device detects that a server in the rack fails in a server process during the server process detection of L10 stage or that the rack fails in a rack process during the rack process detection of L11 stage, the server is repaired, or replaced by a backup server. Before the detection flow is performed continuously, the server process detection of L10 stage is performed on the repaired server, or the backup server not performing the server process detection of L10 stage yet, and then. The detection flow can be performed continuously on the backup server which has performed the server process detection of L10 stage.
