BBU power branch power supply. The invention solves the problem that the power consumption of the power consumption device group increases gradually and the BBU power supply on-line test needs to provide the BBU with the same current output capability of the PSU.
Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of BBU (baseband unit) test, in particular to a BBU power supply online test device, a BBU power supply online test method and a BBU power supply online test server.
Background
In the field of memory controllers, BBU (Battery Backup Unit) is an essential device. When a Power Supply Unit (PSU) assembly of a Power Supply Unit (Power Supply Unit) is powered off, a BBU battery is adopted for supplying Power, and a system with short Power Supply time of the BBU is used for storing and processing running services and data, and the function belongs to the field of data protection in the field of storage. Since BBU is used for power supply, the circuit board is necessarily processed by the BBU and PSU combining circuit. The outputs of the two power suppliers cannot be simply connected together and then sent to the load for use because if the BBU is tested to normally output power under the premise of normal output of the PSU, the power supply cannot normally output power.
As described above, the device needs to periodically verify the health status of its BBU, the health status of the BBU discharge circuit (i.e., the combiner chip). The top level of stored software will poll for 1 second at device power-up and every three months. The storage software does not start the processing of the IO traffic at the 1s test when the device starts to run. However, in the polling test every three months, the storage software does not suspend the IO service due to the test, so that a scenario that the IO service peak and the 1 second test are performed simultaneously can certainly occur. However, with the gradual upgrade and code adding of high-end storage device hardware, the power consumption of the device is increased sharply, and common devices can reach one thousand or more watts, which is equivalent to 11V and 100A. And the maximum discharge current of the BBU is far from the requirement of the storage device due to the limitation of the electric core (three-string three-parallel BBU is about 60A, and four-string three-parallel BBU is about 90A). When the load current exceeds the maximum discharge current of the BBU (for example, the load is 100A), the BBU will close its output in milliseconds, which causes the direct power-off of the device and the significant accident of memory data loss. Therefore, the requirements on energy conservation and emission reduction of the BBU are increasingly important and urgent.

and responding to the BBU online test of the plurality of electrical equipment groups, and sending the first command again to enable gating controllers corresponding to the plurality of electrical equipment groups to gate the PSU power supply branch for power supply.
In some embodiments, the plurality of consumer groups include a motherboard controller or a number of IO cards.
For example, assuming that for a certain memory device, the first electrical device is a motherboard controller, and the second electrical devices are a plurality of IO cards, the process of performing BBU online test on the memory device is as follows: (1) sending a first command to enable the main board controller and the gating controllers 4 corresponding to the IO cards to gate the PSU power branch 1 for power supply; (2) in response to receiving the BBU online test command, sending a second command to enable the gating controller 4 corresponding to the mainboard controller to close the PSU power branch 1 and open the BBU power branch 2; (3) responding to the time sent by the second command reaching the preset time, sending a third command to enable the gating controller 4 corresponding to the mainboard controller to open the PSU power branch 1 and close the BBU power branch 2, and enable the gating controller 4 corresponding to the IO cards to close the PSU power branch 1 and open the BBU power branch 2; (4) and responding to the time for sending the third command to reach the preset time, and sending the first command again to enable the main board controller and the gating controllers 4 corresponding to the plurality of IO cards to gate the PSU power supply branch circuit 1 for power supply. Preferably, the preset time is 0.5 to 1 second.
In some embodiments, each gating controller 4 is a TPS2456A chip, and as shown in fig. 2 of a specific structure of the TPS2456A chip, a TPS2456A is a two-way 12V protection and blocking ORing controller manufactured by TI corporation, and there are overvoltage, undervoltage, overcurrent protection, and reverse filling prevention for two-way input; an ORing mode is realized between the two outputs (namely, the two outputs supply the output voltage of the two outputs to be high, the output voltage of the two outputs is conducted, and the output voltage of the two outputs is closed).
In some embodiments, the controller 5 is a complex programmable logic device.
In some embodiments, both PSU power branch 1 and the BBU power branch 2 are 12V power supply circuits.
In some embodiments, the number of IO cards is 12-14.
In order to facilitate understanding of the technical solution of the present invention, a storage device is taken as an example below, the storage device includes a motherboard controller (denoted as a component) and a PCIe IO card (denoted as b component) located at a rear end (in this example, one host controller corresponds to 12 PCIe IO cards, for example), when a load that a BBU can bear is equivalent to a PSU, if a test is performed for 1 second, the storage software issues a command to a lower layer controller CPLD, and the CPLD opens a BBU power branch switch of TPS2456A connected to the motherboard controller, and simultaneously opens a BBU power branch switch of TPS2456A connected to the 12 PCIe IO cards. After the state is executed for 1s, the upload storage software sends a command to the lower-layer CPLD to turn on the PSU power branch switch of the TPS2456A connected with the mainboard controller and turn on the PSU power branch switch of the TPS2456A connected with the IO card, so that the test is completed, and the process only needs one second.
It should be noted that each component (i.e., the motherboard controller component and the 12 IO card components) in the memory device has a combination switch TPS2456A for the PSU and BBU. When the test is executed for 1 second, the power supply of the main board controller component and the 12 IO card components is simultaneously switched from the PSU to the BBU, and all circuits related to the BBU combination on the equipment are verified at one time. If the power consumption of the storage device is high and the load born by the BBU is insufficient, the two parts are tested by adopting a time-sharing test strategy, and the specific implementation test process is as follows:
the storage software sends a command A to a lower-layer control device CPLD, and the CPLD switches the PSU power branch switch of the TPS2456A connected to the part a and simultaneously opens the BBU power branch switch of the TPS2456A connected to the part a.
After the execution of the state for 1s (timing by the storage software), the storage software sends a command B to the lower-layer control device CPLD, and the CPLD opens the PSU power branch switch of the TPS2456A connected to the part a and closes the BBU power branch switch of the TPS2456A of the part a.
The storage software sends a command C to a lower-layer control device CPLD, and the CPLD closes the PSU power branch switch of the TPS2456A connected to the component b and simultaneously opens the BBU power branch switch of the TPS2456A connected to the component b.
After the execution of the state for 1s (timing by the storage software), the storage software sends a command D to the lower-layer control device CPLD, and the CPLD opens the PSU power branch switch of the TPS2456A connected to the b component and closes the BBU power branch switch of the TPS2456A connected to the b component.
By adopting the mode, the BBU power supply can be used for testing the component a and the component b in a time sharing mode for 1 second, the BBU power supply only needs to bear the maximum load of the two components, the sum of the two loads does not need to be borne at the same time, the power consumption of the BBU is not required to be increased along with the power consumption of the storage device when the equipment is tested for 1 second in a time sharing mode in batches by the two power utilization components, the BBU with the same PSU current output capacity is not required to be provided for testing for 1 second, the difficulty in BBU model selection is reduced, meanwhile, the BBU with large capacity is avoided being used for testing, and the testing cost is reduced.
The BBU power supply online test device is connected with the control end of each gating controller through the controller and configured to send commands to the control ends of the gating controllers in response to the execution of BBU online test so that part of the plurality of electrical device groups use the PSU power branch for power supply and the rest use the BBU power branch for power supply, thereby solving the problem that the power consumption of the electrical device groups is gradually increased while BBU power supply online test needs to provide BBUs with the same PSU current output capacity, reducing the difficulty in BBU type selection, and simultaneously reducing the test cost because the larger the discharge current and the higher the BBU price of the larger capacity.
According to a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided a BBU power supply online test method, characterized by using the apparatus as described in any one of the above. The BBU power supply online test method comprises the following steps: dividing the electrical equipment into a plurality of electrical equipment groups, and connecting each electrical equipment group with a PSU power branch and a BBU power branch; and sequentially testing each electrical device group, and controlling at most one electrical device group to gate the BBU power supply branch circuit to supply power at each moment in the testing process.
In some embodiments, gating the BBU power branch for power at most one powered device group at each time in the control test procedure comprises: sending a first command to enable gating controllers corresponding to the plurality of electrical equipment groups to gate the PSU power branch for power supply; responding to the received BBU online test command, and sending a second command to enable a gating controller corresponding to a target electrical device group to gate a BBU power branch, wherein the target electrical device group is any one of the electrical device groups; responding to the time sent by the second command to reach the preset time, sending a third command to enable a gating controller corresponding to the target electrical device group to gate a PSU power branch, and returning to the step of sending the second command to enable the next target electrical device group to perform BBU online test; and responding to the BBU online test of the plurality of electrical equipment groups, and sending the first command again to enable gating controllers corresponding to the plurality of electrical equipment groups to gate the PSU power supply branch for power supply.
In some embodiments, said sending the second command to enable the gating controller corresponding to the target electrical device group to gate the BBU power branch includes: and setting the first enabling signal of the gating controller for controlling the PSU power supply low, and setting the second enabling signal of the gating controller for controlling the BBU power supply high.
FIG. 3 is an architectural diagram of an in-line test for BBU power supplies according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 3, TPS2456A combines chip including a first enable signal ENA and a second enable signal ENB, ENA controlling the high and low of the level of switch A, ENB controlling the high and low of the level of switch B, switch A for controlling the PSU power supply, switch B for controlling the BBU power supply.
The TPS2456A itself logic is: when ENA is turned on, namely high level, the level of a switch A is set high, so that an external MOS tube is conducted; when ENB is closed, i.e. low, its switch B level is set low, resulting in the external MOS transistor being closed. The principle of BBU power supply online test is explained by taking two electric appliance sets as an example: the CPLD opens a first enable signal ENA of the TPS2456A combiner chip, and the first electrical equipment group is powered by the PSU power supply. When the test is carried out for 1 second, in order to ensure the normal operation of the storage IO (input/output) service, the storage software sends a command A to a lower-layer control device CPLD, the CPLD sets a first enabling signal ENA of a PSU power supply branch of the TPS2456A low, and the logic of a TPS2456A chip turns off a switch A, so that the PSU power supply cannot reach a load. The CPLD simultaneously sets a second enable signal ENB of the BBU power branch of the TPS2456A high, and the logic of the TPS2456A chip turns on a switch B, so that the BBU power is delivered to a load, the equipment normally operates, and the change of power supply cannot be sensed. After the 1s time is executed in this state, the timing of the 1s is completed by the upper storage software, the upper storage software sends a command B, and the lower CPLD executes the reverse operation. (opening the PSU power branch switch of TPS2456A while closing the BBU power branch switch of TPS 2456A. complete the 1 second test, revert to default.)
In some embodiments, said dividing the electrical devices into a plurality of electrical device groups comprises: and dividing the electrical equipment into a plurality of electrical equipment groups according to functions or power consumption. The first type is divided into a type A card, a mainboard, a type B, IO card (and an HBA card), a type C card, a management card and a type D card according to functions. The second type is distinguished according to power consumption, wherein a large-power-consumption devices, such as a type of board card with a CPU and a Memory, B, a type of board card with an RDMA (Remote Direct Memory Access) type chip of an intelligent network card, and C, a type of board card with a fan (because the power consumption of the fan in the server is very large, the power consumption can reach 144W under the condition that one fan is 12V/2A and one controller has 6 fans). The power consumption may be classified in order from high to low.
It should be particularly noted that, the steps in the embodiments of the BBU power supply online test method described above can be mutually intersected, replaced, added, and deleted, so that these reasonable permutation and combination changes should also belong to the scope of protection of the present invention, and should not limit the scope of protection of the present invention to the embodiments.
