We are no strangers to the operation and maintenance of servers. We know that many traditional server operations and maintenance will lead to the stop of server operations and maintenance. How to maintain a normal server? Next, let's talk about how to maintain the server.
1. First, check the local disk
Workload, storage, user data storage, etc. Any server depends on the internal hard disk drive. The problem of hard disk media will seriously affect the stability of the load, and eventually lead to hard disk failure.
2. Check the time record output
The server event log has a lot of information, especially details. If the system log, malware log and other logs are not carefully checked, the maintenance of the server will be incomplete. Although IT managers and technicians should pay attention to critical system problems, many non critical problems may show long-term or serious problems.
3. Install patches and updates regularly
You must ensure that all interactions and collaborations, and server software stacks -- BIOS, operating system, hypervisor, driver, application, and support tools -- are valid. Unfortunately, few software codes are perfect or problem free, so such software problems need to be repaired or updated to constantly correct errors, improve security, simplify operations, improve performance, and so on.
4. Ensure that the server can work normally
When the server is shut down, visually inspect the airflow path inside and outside it. Remove all accumulated dust and sundries to ensure smooth air conditioning.
5. Adhere to daily maintenance
Usually, server administrators often ignore regular maintenance. Do not wait for the failure to occur before maintenance, leaving time for routine maintenance can avoid the occurrence of problems.
The maintenance frequency depends on the age of the equipment, the environment of the data center, the capacity of the server to be repaired, and other factors. For example, equipment installed between equipment needs to check good cooling equipment in the data center more frequently than equipment installed with HEPA filters. The enterprise can arrange the daily patrol maintenance list according to the regular patrol strategy of the supplier or a third party. If the supplier contract stipulates that the patrol is not conducted in 4 or 6 months, the plan should be followed.
