Server Maintenance Tips (increased hard disk content, database optimization, etc)

To help you understand some maintenance content during maintenance and avoid errors. The following are some common knowledge about routine server maintenance for your reference.

Common knowledge about routine server maintenance: hardware maintenance

Common sense of routine server maintenance hardware maintenance 1. Expansion of storage devices

When resources continue to expand, the server needs more memory and hard disk capacity to store these resources. Therefore, the expansion of memory and hard disk is very common. Before increasing the memory, you need to determine the compatibility with the original memory of the server, preferably the memory of the same brand. If the ECC memory is dedicated to the server, the same memory must be used. Using the normal SDRAM memory on the same server within the ECC may cause serious errors. Before adding a hard disk, You need to determine whether the server has sufficient hard disk support, hard disk interface and Power interface, and whether the motherboard supports such a capacity hard disk. Pay special attention to prevent devices from being used.

It is not a problem to uninstall or replace the device. It is important to note that there are many brand server chassis that are specially designed and can be opened only by special tools or authorities, you need to carefully read the instructions and do not forcibly disassemble them. In addition, it must be performed when the power is completely down and the server is well grounded, even for devices that support hot swapping, to prevent damage to the equipment due to static electricity.

Dust is the biggest killer of servers, so it is necessary to regularly remove dust from servers. For servers, dust is even fatal. The dust removal method is the same as that of ordinary PC, especially the dust removal of power supply.

Software maintenance for routine server maintenance

Routine server maintenance software maintenance 1. Operating System Maintenance

The operating system is the basis of software running on servers. Its importance is self-evident. Most server operating systems use Windows 2003 or Windows 2008Server as the operating system, which is easy to maintain.

Open the Event Viewer on Windows NT or Windows 2003 Server and check whether there are any records of special exceptions in system logs, security logs, and application logs. There are more and more hackers on the Internet. Therefore, you need to download the latest Service Pack (upgrade Service package) on Microsoft's website to install it, so as to promptly fix security vulnerabilities.

Routine server maintenance software maintenance 2. Network Service Maintenance

There are many network services, such as WWW Service, DNS service, DHCP service, SMTP service, and FTP service. As more and more services are provided by servers, the system is also prone to confusion, in this case, you may need to reset the parameters of each service to make it run properly.

Routine server maintenance software maintenance 3. database services

After the database has been running for a long time, you need to adjust the database performance to bring it into the optimal state. The data in the database is the most important. If these databases are lost, the loss is huge. Therefore, you need to back up the database regularly, just in case.

Routine server maintenance software maintenance 4. User Data

After frequent use, the server may store a large amount of data. This data is a very valuable resource, so it needs to be organized and saved permanently on a CD, even if the server is faulty, the data can be recovered.
