Problems solved by technology

But this management method relies too much on the management software and the operating system on the server
This management method will fail if the operating system kernel on the server crashes or the server is shut down.
Moreover, this solution cannot configure the BIOS of the machine, and many system startup problems cannot be solved

Embodiment Construction

[0032] Below according to accompanying drawing of description, in conjunction with specific embodiment, the present invention is further described:

[0033] A method for realizing serial port redirection based on IPMI. The virtual remote serial port terminal SOLTerminal based on IPMI, as an application program interacting with the user, receives user input, and then interacts with the BMC of the target machine through LAN to redirect the serial port on the target machine To the local area network, the local area network will feed back the serial port information to the user's local monitor through SOLTerminal, thus providing a monitoring, management, and configuration platform for managers.

[0034] Such as figure 1 As shown, SOL Terminal includes 6 components: data transmission control, serial port control, SOL session control, help system, screen output control and user interaction processing, among which:

[0035] Data transmission control, responsible for receiving and send...

Abstract

The invention discloses an IPMI (intelligent platform management interface) based method for serial port redirection. The IPMI based method includes that an IPMI-based SOLTerminal (serial over local area network terminal) serves as an application program for user interaction to receive user input; a serial port of a target machine is redirected to an LAN (local area network) through interaction between the LAN and the target machine; the LAN feeds back serial port information to a user local monitor through the SOLTerminal to provide a monitoring, managing and configuring platform for a manager. Particularly, when management software, such as SSH and Telnet, dependent on a server operating system is not available on the conditions of server operating system nucleus crash or server shutdown and the like, the method plays a crucial role in system trouble locating and troubleshooting.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for realizing serial port redirection based on IPMI. Background technique [0002] In large computer rooms and data centers, the effective management of a large number of servers has always been an inevitable problem for managers. At present, there are two common methods: one is that multiple servers share a set of keyboard, mouse and display terminal through KVM, that is, a distributor. System administrators can realize individual management of each server by switching the KVM distributor. This one-to-one direct management is still applicable when the number of servers is small. [0003] Another management method is to implement centralized management of multiple servers on one management machine through management software such as SSH and Telnet. This kind of management can keep the centralized management machine away from the computer room, so as to realize remote management. But this management method relies to...
