Blade server capacity expansion configuration method and management system

Abstract

An embodiment of the invention discloses a blade server capacity expansion configuration method and a management system. The method includes: acquiring types of blades used for capacity expansion, and the number of each type of blades; acquiring average power consumption of each type of blades in a system according to the types of the blades; calculating the number of power supply devices and the number of cooling devices, to be added, according to the number of each type of blades and the average power consumption of each type of blades in the system; displaying the number of the power supply devices and the number of the cooling devices, to be added, and configuring blade servers according to the number of the power supply devices and the number of the cooling devices, to be added, and the types of the blades used for capacity expansion and the number of each type of blades, thereby achieving capacity expansion of blade servers. Efficiency in blade server capacity expansion can be improved effectively, accuracy in capacity expansion configuration is increased, and resources can be utilized reasonably.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of communication equipment, in particular to a blade server expansion configuration method and management system. Background technique [0002] A blade server refers to a server unit that can be plugged with multiple card types in a rack-mounted chassis of a standard height. It is a low-cost server platform that achieves high availability and high density. It is specially designed for special application industries and high-density computing environments. "Blades" can be plugged into the internal card server unit of the blade server, and each "blade" is actually a system motherboard, similar to an independent server. Among them, each blade can run its own system and serve a designated user group, or the blades can be assembled into a server cluster with system software. In the cluster mode, all blades can be connected to provide a high-speed network environment. And resources can be shared to serve the same user grou...

Problems solved by technology

[0005] However, because the blade server expansion guidebook gives a reference value for the maximum power consumption of the blade, which is often greater than the actual power consumption of the blade, so that the configured resources are far greater than the resources actually required by the blade server, resulting in resource failures. waste, and because there are many combinations of different types of blades, it is more difficult for staff to perform expansion configuration, which affects the expansion efficiency of blade servers and the accuracy of expansion configuration
