Generation of Debugging Log List in a Blade Server Environment

摘要

Methods, non-transitory storage medium, and systems for generating an aggregated list of problem conditions associated with blade servers to facilitate efficient debugging thereof. In a blade server environment, each chassis is equipped with a chassis management module and each blade in each chassis is associated with a blade management controller. A data map representing the relationships between the blade servers and the shared resources is utilized by a chassis management module to aggregate and link problem conditions sensed by any of the blade management controllers.

1. A method for associating a debug error with an error log in a computing environment comprising a plurality of blade servers that are housed in any one out of a plurality of blade chassis and that share a plurality of resources, the method comprising the steps of:
providing a first chassis management module, wherein the first chassis management module utilizes a map identifying relationships between the plurality of blade servers and the shared chassis resources; identifying, in a blade management controller, a predetermined problem condition in a shared chassis resource sensed by a blade server associated with said blade management controller; communicating the predetermined problem condition to said first chassis management controller; determining in said first chassis management module what other, if any, of the blade servers under its control share the shared chassis resource associated with the predetermined problem condition; instituting a request for debug information from said first chassis management module to each of the other blade management controllers for each blade server that was determined to share the shared chassis resource associated with the predetermined problem condition; receiving, by the first chassis management module, the requested debug information from each of the other blade management controllers for each blade server that was determined to share the shared chassis resource associated with the predetermined problem condition; and aggregating and linking the received debug information for the problem condition from each of the blade management controllers.
