Description

A method for batch checking of rack-mounted servers

technical field

The invention relates to the technical field of computers, in particular to a method for checking rack positions of batch servers.

Background technique

At present, a large number of Internet users purchase batch servers. After these servers are installed in batches, a very important task is to check the rack positions of the servers. However, the method used in most cases is to check the serial number of each server. Number, MAC address of network card, rack position, connection switch port and other information to make statistics. Wrong server installed. With the increasing number of servers purchased by Internet users at one time, the scale of the computer room is also increasing, and hundreds or even thousands of servers need to be deployed. If this original processing method is used again, the work cost will be greatly increased. It will also greatly reduce work efficiency. Moreover, with the gradual maturity of remote management technology, the management of the server no longer depends on the local management of the computer room where the server is located, but is controlled remotely through the network, so a simple and efficient solution is needed.

Contents of the invention

The technical task of the present invention is to solve the deficiencies of the prior art, and provide a method for checking racking positions of batch servers.

The technical solution of the present invention is realized in the following manner, the method for checking the rack position of batch servers, the specific checking process is:

1) Connect the cabinet to the switch, scan the MAC address of the network card of the server in the cabinet, establish the correspondence between the MAC address of the server network card and the port of the switch, and generate a MAC address table;

2) Compare the cabinet racking information table planned by the user, and check the racking accuracy of the batch deployed servers in the computer room;

3) When the comparison information is inconsistent, an installation error occurs, and then the server with the error can be adjusted; when the comparison information is consistent, the deployment of the surface server is correct, and the deployment step ends.

In the above technical solution, the cabinet access switch is used to scan the MAC address of the network card of the server in the cabinet, and the corresponding relationship between the MAC address of the server network card and the switch port is established. Since the address is unique, according to the corresponding relationship between the switch port and the cabinet tray position Determine the location of the server in the cabinet, and then compare it with the user-planned racking information table through the automated program, so as to quickly check the accuracy of the racking of servers deployed in batches in the computer room.

The detailed process of the step 1) is:

After the server is installed, power on the cabinet to ensure that the servers are powered on normally, then connect the portable terminal to the management network of the user's computer room, configure the ip so that it can communicate with the access switch of the cabinet, log in to the switch remotely, and obtain MAC address table; according to the corresponding relationship between the switch port and the cabinet tray position when the cabinet is installed, determine the position of the machine in the cabinet, and save it together with the MAC address table as an information table.

The portable terminal refers to a notebook computer or a tablet computer.

The inspection process in step 2) is completed by a computer program, which can check one-to-one correspondence between the generated new information table and the user-planned rack information table, and when the checks are consistent, it will return a prompt that the installation is successful; when the installation If there is an error, it will return the feedback of the specific address of the wrong server.

The beneficial effect that the present invention produces compared with prior art is:

The method for batch server rack-mounting inspection of the present invention can automatically complete the batch inspection, effectively improving work efficiency; the whole process does not depend on the site; it can be remotely managed through the network, which is convenient and fast; it has high precision and avoids manual errors; the realization method Simple, easy to operate, practical and easy to promote.

Detailed ways

A method for checking rack-mounted racks of servers in batches according to the present invention will be described in detail below.

As shown in Figure 1, a method for batch server rack-mounted inspection is now provided, and the specific inspection process is as follows:

1) Connect the cabinet to the switch, scan the MAC address of the network card of the server in the cabinet, establish the correspondence between the MAC address of the server network card and the port of the switch, and generate a MAC address table;

2) Compare the cabinet racking information table planned by the user, and check the racking accuracy of the batch deployed servers in the computer room;

3) When the comparison information is inconsistent, an installation error occurs, and then the server with the error can be adjusted; when the comparison information is consistent, the deployment of the surface server is correct, and the deployment step ends.

The detailed process of the step 1) is:

After the server is installed, power on the cabinet to ensure that the servers are powered on normally, then connect the portable terminal to the management network of the user's computer room, configure the ip so that it can communicate with the access switch of the cabinet, log in to the switch remotely, and obtain MAC address table; according to the corresponding relationship between the switch port and the cabinet tray position when the cabinet is installed, determine the position of the machine in the cabinet, and save it together with the MAC address table as an information table.

The portable terminal refers to a notebook computer or a tablet computer.

The inspection process in step 2) is completed by a computer program, which can check one-to-one correspondence between the generated new information table and the user-planned rack information table, and when the checks are consistent, it will return a prompt that the installation is successful; when the installation If there is an error, it will return the feedback of the specific address of the wrong server.

Specific examples:

1. After the server is installed, power on the cabinet to ensure that the servers are powered on normally, then connect the notebook to the management network of the user computer room, configure the ip so that it can communicate with the access switch of the cabinet, and log in to the switch remotely. Get the MAC address table:

3. The check program for the listing information table is named macCheck, which is based on the Linux system and can be run on a virtual machine of a personal computer or directly on a server. The code is as follows:

#!/bin/bash

clear

echo "Planning information table file name:" && read MAC_SERVER

echo "Saved switch MAC address table file name:" && read MAC_SWITCH

echo -e "\nChecking, please wait..."

diff $MAC_SERVER $MAC_SWITCH --side-by-side > /dev/null

if [ $ -eq 0 ];

then

echo -e "All servers are correctly installed in the cabinet!\n"

else

echo -e "An exception was found! The server with the wrong installation has been marked with "|" in the table below:\n"

diff $MAC_SERVER $MAC_SWITCH --side-by-side

the fi

4. Give the program file executable permission: #chmod 777 macCheck

5. Execute inspection procedures:

If all the machines are installed correctly, the program will return a success prompt; if there is an incorrectly installed server, the program will report an error and point out the specific location of the wrong server. Attachment 2 shows the ninth server in cabinet 1 and the eighth server in cabinet 2. The planning locations are different. The table on the left is the correct listing information table, and the table on the right is the actually obtained MAC address table. Through comparison, we can see that the two servers are installed backwards:

6. Adjust the wrongly installed server.

Except for the technical features described in the description, all are well-known technologies of those skilled in the art.
