Description

Server RAS test method, system, device and storage medium

Technical Field

The invention relates to the field of testing, in particular to a server RAS testing method, a system, equipment and a storage medium.

Background

The BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) is a program stored in the BIOS chip, which is typically set up when the meter server is powered on. CMOS is a read-write RAM chip on a motherboard, and CMOS is typically battery powered with the motherboard, so that information is not lost even if the system is powered down. The BIOS setting program is mainly used for managing and setting the basic input and output system of the server, so that the system operates in the best state. The BIOS program may also troubleshoot or diagnose system problems.

BIOS RAS occupies a considerable component in BIOS, RAS features occupy more and more market share, RAS is called Reliability, availability, and serviceavailability, wherein Reliability refers to that a system must be as reliable as possible without unexpected breakdown, and restarting even causes physical damage of the system, which means that a system with Reliability must be capable of self-repairing for some small errors, and isolating errors incapable of self-repairing as much as possible, so that the rest of the system is ensured to run normally. Availabilities (Availability) means that the system must be able to ensure as long as possible to operate without going offline, and even if some small problems occur in the system, the normal operation of the whole system will not be affected, and in some cases, hot Plug operation may even be performed, replacing the components in question, so that the downtime of the system is strictly ensured within a certain range. Serviceability means that the system can provide convenient diagnostic functions, such as system logs, dynamic detection and other means, so that management personnel can conveniently perform system diagnosis and maintenance operations, and accordingly errors can be found and repaired early. The RAS as a whole serves to ensure that the entire system operates reliably as long as possible without going offline and has a sufficiently powerful fault tolerance mechanism. The RAS mainly processes errors on the CPU; errors on memory, errors on IO/PCIe, chipset errors, and platform hardware errors.

The RAS test has many test cases for CPU/memory/PCIE, and requires a test engineer to spend a relatively long time to complete the test. Therefore, automation of RAS testing is highly desirable. However, the RAS test is different from other server component tests in that it is accomplished by external software and devices, which are cumbersome to install and build up a test environment. Moreover, the manual test method is tedious and time-consuming, and the condition of missing or false test is easy to occur in the test process. When a problem is found, the Bug needs to be submitted and communicated with the research and development details, so that the labor cost is greatly increased. And a large number of use cases are repeatedly executed, so that the manpower waste is caused. The conventional RAS test is basically a full-manual test, a reference data checking test method, a manual input test parameter command and the like, and is tedious and easy to make mistakes.
