The technical features mentioned in the different embodiments of the invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.
In recent years, the data center industry has been in a high-speed growth period under the promotion of technologies such as cloud computing, big data, internet of things and the like. The server with high-speed computing capability, long-time reliable operation and strong external data throughput capacity is deployed on a large scale as an exclusive form of a large-scale internet enterprise, is widely used in other traditional enterprises with large volume and self-built data centers, and is greatly required by various industries.
The server is composed of a plurality of hardware parts such as a mainboard, a memory, a hard disk, a cooling fan, peripheral equipment and the like, and each hardware needs to consume certain power consumption during operation. In the existing server design, the communication rate and bandwidth of PCIe devices are generally obtained through trailing or set by BIOS, and the rotational speed of the fan is adjusted by the BMC according to a certain heat dissipation policy according to the temperature in the server. The current server has high power consumption, mainly because each device runs at a high speed for a long time, and each device in the hardware of the server is seriously worn.
The state of the server running at a high speed may cause an overlarge load of the server, which affects the out-of-band management of the BMC, and a large amount of power consumption may be consumed when a large amount of devices run at a high speed for a long time, which generates a large amount of heat energy.
In the existing server design, as shown in fig. 1, the bandwidth and the rate of PCIe devices are generally obtained by tracing or set by BIOS, a 3PIN in a high-speed connector is used as a PCIe bandwidth allocation ID to a BMC, a PCH and the BMC acquire the bandwidth ID of the device after communication to allocate a corresponding bandwidth, and then a suitable rate is achieved after a tracing test; still other add-in devices may include ASPM (Active State Power Management) and software-based control of Power Management mechanisms using their own Power saving functions or by PCIe Power Management, but PCIe Power Management is not typically used in servers.
Based on the above problem, an embodiment of the present invention provides a server control method, which is applied to a server shown in fig. 1, where PCIE DEVICE is a PCIe device, and belongs to high-speed serial point-to-point dual-channel high-bandwidth transmission, and the connected devices allocate an exclusive channel bandwidth and do not share a bus bandwidth, and mainly support functions such as active power management, error reporting, end-to-end reliability transmission, hot plug, and quality of service (QOS). The HDD is a hard disk mounted on a server, the CPU0 and the CPU1 are processors of the server, the CPLD is a complex programmable logic device in the server, the BMC is a baseboard management controller, the PCH is an integrated south bridge in the server, the PSU is a server power supply unit of the server, and the FAN is a FAN of the server, the above hardware devices form the server, the number of each hardware device in the server, the type of the server, and the user requirements can be flexibly set, and the present invention is explained by taking the server shown in fig. 1 as an example, which is not limited thereto.
As shown in fig. 2, the server control method specifically includes the following steps:
step S101: and acquiring the current hardware equipment configuration information and the current service requirement of the target server.
Wherein the current hardware device configuration information includes: the type and number of all hardware devices on the server, such as the size of the external hard disk mounted on the server, the number of PSUs, i.e., server power supply units, equipped on the server, and the supportable load power of each PSU. The current service requirement is a service volume that the server needs to process in real time, and can be obtained by calculating a service instruction received by the server, and a specific calculation and statistics process is the prior art and is not described herein again.
Step S102: and determining the maximum traffic which can be borne by the target server based on the current hardware equipment configuration information.
Specifically, different hardware configurations of the server determine a maximum traffic volume that can be carried by the server, where the maximum traffic volume refers to a set of all services that the server can currently guarantee normal operation of the service, and the maximum traffic volume may be a maximum throughput of a single service or a throughput of a combination of different types of services, which is not limited in the present invention.
Step S103: and adjusting the current power consumption mode of the server based on the relation between the current service demand and the maximum service volume.
Specifically, the larger the traffic carried by the server is, the larger the power consumption required for executing the service is, and conversely, the smaller the traffic carried by the server is, the smaller the power consumption required for executing the service is, so that the power consumption mode of the server can be flexibly adjusted under the condition of meeting the service requirement, and the purpose of reducing the power consumption is achieved.
By executing the above steps, the server control method provided in the embodiment of the present invention determines the maximum service volume that can be carried by the target server according to the number of external hardware devices, such as hard disks, configured in real time by the server and the number of PSUs in the server, and then flexibly adjusts the power consumption mode of the server according to the relationship between the real-time service demand and the maximum service volume, so as to meet the service demand, avoid the problem that each hardware device in the server is damaged during long-time high-speed operation, reduce the power consumption of the server, achieve the purpose of energy saving and emission reduction, facilitate long-term operation of the server, reduce the maintenance cost of the server, and prolong the service life of the server.
Specifically, in an embodiment, the step S102 specifically includes the following steps:
step S201: and determining the type and the quantity of the hardware equipment contained in the target server and the maximum available running power based on the current hardware equipment configuration information.
The maximum operating power may be determined by the number of PSUs included in the server and the maximum power that can be provided by a single PSU. The types of hardware devices of the server include all the types of hardware devices shown in fig. 1, and other hardware devices that are not shown in fig. 1 are also within the scope of the present invention, which is not limited thereto.
Step S202: and determining the power consumption corresponding to different services based on the type and the number of the first hardware equipment required by different services and the operating power corresponding to each hardware equipment.
Specifically, when the server executes different services, the hardware devices on the server that are needed to be used are different, and the operating powers corresponding to the different hardware devices are different, so that the power consumption for executing each service can be determined according to the service type.
Step S203: and determining the maximum service volume which can be borne by the target server based on the maximum operating power and the power corresponding to different services.
Specifically, in order to ensure the performance of the server, the server can only operate within the maximum operating power range, and in the maximum operating power range, a service combination formed by arranging and combining power consumptions required by different services is the maximum traffic that can be carried by the target server. In addition, in practical application, the maximum traffic is also limited by the hardware device resource of the server, so in the embodiment of the present invention, the maximum traffic is the traffic that the target hardware device resource of the server can satisfy the service execution, and the present invention is not limited thereto.
Specifically, in an embodiment, the step S103 specifically includes the following steps:
step S301: and when the traffic corresponding to the current traffic demand is smaller than the first traffic range corresponding to the maximum traffic, controlling the target server to enter a low-power-consumption operation mode.
Wherein the maximum value of the first traffic volume range is smaller than the maximum traffic volume. The first traffic range may be flexibly set according to the maximum traffic and the requirement of the user for the power consumption of the server, and assuming that the maximum traffic is 100, the first traffic range may be 60-80, and the invention is not limited thereto.
Specifically, in step S301, a second hardware device that does not participate in service operation in the target server is determined based on the current hardware device configuration information and the current service requirement; controlling the second hardware device to sleep; and reducing the communication rate of the hardware equipment already running in the target server. And reducing the rotating speed of the fan in the target server.
Therefore, the hardware equipment irrelevant to the service enters the dormancy, unnecessary monitoring is reduced, the total operation power consumption of the server is reduced, the risk that the hardware equipment is damaged due to the long-time operation of the hardware equipment which does not execute the service is avoided, and the maintenance cost of the server is further reduced. And the running power consumption of the server is further reduced by reducing the communication rate of the hardware devices participating in the running. In practical applications, since the bandwidth and the rate of the PCIe device are related to the communication rate of the server, the rate of the PCIe device may be reduced to operate within an acceptable range, so as to reduce power consumption, for example, assuming that the current rate of the PCIe device is GEN5, the current rate of the PCIe device may be reduced to GEN4, GEN3, and the like in a manner of reducing the rate step by step, and the service execution state is monitored in real time during the speed reduction process, so as to avoid that the normal operation of the service is affected by too much speed reduction. In addition, the power consumption of the server can be further reduced by reducing the rotating speed of the fan in the server, the heat dissipation capacity required by the server is reduced because the hardware equipment which does not execute the service enters a dormant state, and the normal operation of the server is not influenced by reducing the rotating speed of the fan at the moment, so that the purposes of energy conservation and emission reduction are achieved.
Further, in step S301, when it is monitored that the current service requirement belongs to the first service volume range, the target server is controlled to enter a normal power consumption operation mode.
Specifically, by monitoring the service requirement of the server in real time, when the service requirement of the server is increased to the first service range, in order to meet the requirement that the service requirement controls the server to enter the normal power consumption mode, it should be noted that the normal power consumption operation mode referred to in the embodiments of the present invention is a conventional operation mode adopted by the server in the prior art, for example, the server does not perform speed reduction, all hardware devices perform regulation and control according to the normal mode, and perform automatic regulation and control on devices in the server according to the traffic volume, and the specific working process of the server in the operation mode refers to the related description in the prior art, which is not described herein again.
Step S302: and when the traffic corresponding to the current traffic demand is larger than the first traffic range corresponding to the maximum traffic, controlling the target server to enter a high-power-consumption operation mode.
Specifically, step S302 is executed by increasing the communication rate of the hardware device already running in the target server. And increasing the rotating speed of the fan in the target server.
Illustratively, in the high power mode of operation, the communication rate of each hardware device is increased to operate at the highest achievable rate and efficiency, and the fan speed is increased accordingly. The rate switching is not only applicable to PCIe, but also applicable to other adjustable communication protocols, and the switching can be performed in this way as long as the adjustment is performed within a range that does not affect the use. In addition, the mode of adjusting the speed step by step can be adopted by referring to the low-power consumption operation mode, such as: and gradually adjusting the speed of the PCIe devices to GEN4 and GEN5 from GEN3 so as to meet the service requirement borne by the server. Due to the fact that the communication speed of the hardware equipment in the server is improved, the power consumption of each hardware equipment is increased, the heat dissipation capacity of the hardware equipment is increased, the heat dissipation requirement of the server can be met by increasing the rotating speed of the fan, the server is prevented from being damaged by the hardware equipment in an overheat environment, and the maintenance cost of the server is further reduced.
Further, the step S302 further monitors the operation state of the target server; and controlling the target server to enter a normal power consumption operation mode when the abnormal operation state is monitored.
Specifically, by monitoring the running state of the server, once the server is abnormal, the server is prevented from being damaged by reducing the power consumption of the server in time, and illustratively, when the situation that the normal running of the server is affected by the over-temperature of a CPU (central processing unit) and the like in the server is monitored, the server is prevented from being out of the high-power-consumption running mode and enters the normal-power-consumption running mode, so that the maintenance cost of the server is further reduced. Whether each service normally runs is detected in real time, if the service has a problem in a low-speed and high-speed power consumption running mode, the service is automatically switched to a normal mode, and logs are recorded, so that maintenance personnel can conveniently remove potential safety hazards according to the logs, normal running of a server is guaranteed, high-quality service is improved for users, and user experience is improved.
Step S303: and controlling the target server to enter a normal power consumption operation mode when the traffic corresponding to the current service demand belongs to the first traffic range corresponding to the maximum traffic.
In practical application, the server control method provided by the embodiment of the invention can also enable a user to independently select different power consumption modes so as to meet the requirements of different users and improve the user experience. For example, during the operation of the server, the client may select the power consumption operation mode at any time for switching, or may select the power consumption operation mode to start with when the server is turned off next time, and the client may select the power consumption operation mode for switching by itself. As shown in fig. 3, the power consumption mode of the user control server provided by the embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to a specific application example.
1. Powering on a server, starting each device according to a time sequence, and detecting the current configuration and the type of a PSU (power system unit);
2. when the server is started, the display device informs a user of power consumption mode selection of the current server system on a starting page, the client can perform corresponding mode selection according to business needs, and reminds the user of the current power mode after the server is changed and set and restarted every time, so that the user can switch the power consumption mode in the current running period;
3. the user may have three power consumption modes to choose from: in a low power consumption mode, the PCIe speed and the like are reduced to enable the PCIe speed and the like to work in an acceptable range, service integration is carried out, unused equipment is detected to sleep the PCIe speed and the like, unnecessary monitoring is reduced, and the rotating speed of a fan is reduced; under the normal power consumption mode, speed reduction is not carried out, all equipment is regulated and controlled according to the normal mode, and automatic regulation and control are carried out on equipment in the server according to the service volume; and in the high power consumption mode, the communication speed of each device is improved, so that the device works at the highest speed and the highest efficiency, and the rotating speed of the fan is correspondingly increased. The rate switching is not only applicable to PCIe, but also applicable to other adjustable communication protocols, and the mode switching can be applied as long as the adjustment is performed within a range that does not affect the use.
4. And detecting whether each service normally runs in real time, and if a problem exists in the low-speed and high-speed power consumption modes, automatically switching to the normal mode and recording a log. During the operation, the client can select the power consumption mode to switch at any time, or can select the power consumption mode to start in the next startup when the server is closed every time, and the client can select the power consumption mode to switch by self.
