Embodiment 1

[0036] figure 2 is a flowchart of a blade server power allocation method according to an embodiment of the present invention. figure 2 It shows the power allocation method of the blade server when the blade is in the power-on state. The power allocation method of the blade server in this embodiment includes:

[0037] Step S202: The management module detects the working status of the blades in the blade server.

[0038] Step S204: When it is detected that the blade is in the power-on state, the management module sends a power requirement request to the blade.

[0039] Step S206: the blade returns a response with the power requirement information of the blade to the management module.

[0040] Step S208: After the management module instructs the power supply not to supply power to the blade, when the available power value of the power supply becomes higher than the required power value of the blade, the management module instructs the power supply to supply power to the bla...

Embodiment 2

[0045] image 3 It is a flow chart of a power allocation method for a blade server according to another embodiment of the present invention. image 3 It shows a power allocation method of the blade server under the condition that the required power value of the blade includes the minimum power value and the ideal power value when the blade is in the power-on state. Wherein, step S302 is the same as step S202, step S304 is the same as step S204, step S306 is the same as step S206, and step S308 is the same as step S208, which will not be repeated here. The power allocation method of the blade server in this embodiment also includes:

[0046] Step S310: When the required power value of the blade includes the minimum power value and the ideal power value, if the available power value of the power supply is between the minimum power value and the ideal power value, the management module instructs the power supply to supply power to the blade or not to supply power to the blade. ...

Embodiment 3

[0051] Figure 4 It is a flow chart of a power allocation method for a blade server according to another embodiment of the present invention. Figure 4 It shows the power allocation method of the blade server when the blade is in the powered-on state. The power allocation method of the blade server in this embodiment includes:

[0052] Step S402: The management module detects the working status of the blades in the blade server.

[0053] Step S404: When it is detected that the blade is in the powered-on state, in the case that the power requirement of the blade changes, the blade sends the changed power requirement information to the management module.

[0054] Step S406: When the blade is powered on, the management module instructs the power supply to supply power to the blade according to the power value required by the blade.

[0055] For example, if the blade powers on successfully, it enters the powered on state. At this time, the management module detects the working...

Abstract

The invention provides a power supply allocation method of a blade server. The method comprises the following steps: a management module detects the working state of a blade in the blade server; when the blade is detected in a starting state or a started state, the management module acquires power supply requirement information of the blade; and the management module indicates the power supply in the blade server to perform power supply allocation on the blade according to the power supply requirement information. By the power supply allocation of the blade server, faults of the blade happening in the starting process are avoided, and the aim of saving energy is achieved, and the startup scheme is more flexible.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of blade servers, in particular to a power allocation method for blade servers. Background technique [0002] At present, the blade server system, as a new star in the server, was born in response to the deep development of the network, user cluster management and continuous expansion. It is a high-availability and high-density (HAHD, High Availability High Density) low-cost server platform. The blade server system has obvious advantages such as high computing density, optimized deployment, convenient management, resource sharing, and high cost performance, which have made it the main direction of server development. [0003] Today's blade server system is a high-density system that can usually accommodate several to ten or twenty blade servers. The power supply is the power source of the blade system, and its safety and reliability are directly related to the performance of the entire system. [0004] In the Chinese...
