Blade server management network driving DHCP allocating method

Abstract

The invention provides a blade server management network driving DHCP allocating method. Firstly, the network of a blade server management module is configured through a superior DHCP server; secondly, the networks of blade modules apply to the superior DHCP server and are configured through the management module. The allocating method mainly comprises the steps related to a blade server managerial grid external access mode, preconditions of management module or blade module driving type DHCP allocation and network driving DHCP configuration managing. By means of the allocating method, excessive modules can be prevented from being exposed to the external network, the safety performance of traditional server managerial grid DHCP configuration is improved, and the allocating method can be conveniently achieved under the Ethernet connection form, the large blade server cluster management network can be configured fast, and the network running, managing and maintaining cost caused in the large-scale cluster arranging process can be reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention designs a server technology, specifically a blade server management network active DHCP allocation method. Background technique [0002] Blade servers are widely used in high-performance computing and data center server clusters due to their high computing density, optimized deployment, resource sharing, and centralized management. It has become one of the main directions of server development today. A blade server system can usually accommodate several to dozens of blade modules, multiple power supply modules and fan modules, redundant backup management modules, and various switch modules. For real-time system monitoring and management of blade servers and even server clusters, they must be connected to the Internet or intranet, so it is necessary to configure the management network of blade servers. At present, there are usually several situations for the internal management network configuration of the blade server: [0003] 1. Manua...

Problems solved by technology

[0003] 1. Manual configuration: This method manually configures the network for each blade server one by one, which not only has low production efficiency, is not suitable for large-scale server deployment and centralized management, but also has a high probability of network configuration errors due to the large number of configurations. It will be higher, which will definitely bring great trouble to the manufacturer.

[0004] 2. DHCP configuration: This method often connects the management module, blade module, storage module and other modules in the blade server that require network management directly to the external management network, and then configures multiple modules through the upper-level DHCP. Although this can improve configuration efficiency , to reduce the probability of coordination errors, but because the key modules are directly exposed to the outside, it will lead to risks such as malicious modification and information security threats, and it is not conducive to the centralized management of the blade server
