Description

Disk array alarm display method and device

technical field

The invention relates to computer technology, in particular to a disk array alarm display method and device.

Background technique

When a hardware or software failure occurs in the disk array and a serious alarm is generated, and the user is notified to deal with it, the disk array will light up the alarm light to remind the array maintenance personnel. However, after the array maintenance personnel see the alarm light, they need to log in to the server and then log in to the management interface to see the alarm ID. Especially in the computer room with strict management, such as the computer room where the high-end array is located, the array maintenance personnel need to be approved repeatedly before they can see the alarm ID, which causes the disk array to fail to be repaired in time when there is a serious alarm, and the equipment is at risk. question.

In order to avoid the above problems, a liquid crystal display can be set on the server, and an alarm ID can be displayed through the liquid crystal display, wherein the alarm ID is used to identify which disk array generates a serious alarm. In this way, as long as the array maintenance personnel open the cabinet door of the server, they can see the alarm ID on the liquid crystal display, so that they can perform corresponding processing.

However, since a liquid crystal display needs to be added to the server to display the alarm of the disk array, the alarm cost is increased.
