Description

Interrupt-free management method and system for intelligent hot patch Technical Field The invention relates to the technical field of communication system software maintenance, in particular to an interrupt-free management method and system of an intelligent hot patch. Background Under the background of increasingly higher requirements for high availability of communication systems, the updating and maintenance of software patches becomes a key for ensuring stable operation of equipment and system safety. However, the current common patch management techniques still have significant limitations, particularly in terms of implementing business-uninterrupted updates. At present, patch management modes in the industry mainly comprise the following three types, and the requirements of intelligent and interrupt-free operation are difficult to meet at the same time: (1) Whole package replacement type updating, namely, patch updating is realized through reinstallation or whole coverage of the software package. The method usually needs to stop and restart the party to be effective, resulting in longer service interruption time. In equipment with high availability requirements at the carrier level, such interruption can directly affect the user experience, and the applicable scene is limited. (2) Single patch superposition type updating, namely maintaining in a mode of sequentially superposing patches one by one, but lacking a unified version management and dependency relationship control mechanism. In actual operation, problems such as disordered patch application sequence, difficult rollback and the like are easy to occur, and instability of the system is often caused by patch conflict, such as circular dependence or version incompatibility which may occur when dependency relationship is not checked. (3) And the updating file is added with independent script type updating, and the operation and maintenance personnel are relied on to manually execute the scattered updating script, so that the operation process is easy to operate by mistake and difficult to unify. The method has low efficiency, equipment abnormality or service interruption is easy to cause by human error, and automatic and controllable updating guarantee is lacking. In summary, the main problems of the prior art can be summarized as follows: (1) The patch management mechanism is imperfect, the patch version management is irregular, the dependency relationship lacks automatic verification, and the installation failure or the system instability is easy to be caused. (2) And the operation recoverability is poor, when the patch is failed to install, the system cannot realize quick automatic rollback, and the recovery process depends on manual intervention to influence the operation reliability of the equipment. (3) The method lacks the capability of updating without interruption, and the existing scheme is required to be stopped and restarted, does not support a hot patch mechanism, and is difficult to meet the requirement of a high-availability system on service continuity. (4) And the main equipment and the standby equipment are not synchronous enough, namely, in a main and standby deployment environment, the patch operation lacks an efficient synchronous mechanism, the main and standby states are inconsistent easily, and the running risk of the system is increased. Therefore, how to provide an interrupt-free management method and system for intelligent thermal patches, which realize automatic execution, interrupt-free update and reliable rollback of patch operation, thereby comprehensively improving the efficiency and safety of patch management, is a technical problem to be solved.
