Problems solved by technology

In the existing solution, SMC realizes sensor information collection by adding a relatively independent process of accessing the BMC of each computing unit without the IPMI protocol stack, which cannot make good use of the functions of the existing IPMI protocol stack and the IPMI protocol Therefore, it is necessary to propose a new method to realize server sensor information collection

Embodiment Construction

[0019] In order to make the technical problems, technical solutions and beneficial effects to be solved by the present invention clearer, the present invention will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that the specific embodiments described here are only used to explain the present invention, not to limit the present invention.

[0020] In this embodiment, the blade server includes a management unit, a computing unit, a switching unit, a power supply unit, and a fan unit. There is an SMC on the management unit, and a BMC on the computing unit. The SMC provides external access interfaces through the web management interface.

[0021] This increase self-defining command supports the method for realizing sensor information acquisition, increases a sensor acquisition thread in the IPMI protocol stack of SMC, and increases the support to self-defining order in the IPMI protocol stack of the BMC of each compu...

Abstract

The invention particularly relates to a method for adding user-defined command support to realize sensor information collection. This increase self-defining command supports the method for realizing sensor information acquisition, increases a sensor acquisition thread in the IPMI protocol stack of SMC, and increases the support to self-defining order in the IPMI protocol stack of the BMC of each computing unit; Described sensor acquisition The thread does not directly communicate with the Message Handler, and the function of the custom command can be indexed and called through the command mapping table provided by the Message Handler of the BMC, so that the IPMI protocol stack of the SMC has both the functions of the IPMI Server and the IPMI Client, making the SMC Information acquisition of sensors suitable for servers with multiple computing units. The method of adding custom commands to support the realization of sensor information collection is based on the realization of the IPMI protocol stack, and only a few changes can make the IPMI protocol stack of the SMC have both the functions of IPMI Server and IPMI Client. The sensor information collection of the server of a computing unit.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of server management, in particular to a method for adding custom command support to realize sensor information collection. Background technique [0002] For a server with multiple computing units, the SMC (System Management Controller, System Management Controller) on its management unit needs to collect the BMC (Baseboard Management Controller, Baseboard Management Controller) of each computing unit while collecting its own sensor information sensor information to monitor the health of the entire server. [0003] SMC uses the same IPMI (Intelligent Platform Management Interface) protocol stack implementation code as BMC, so SMC is essentially the same as BMC, that is, it is an IPMI Server, which is controlled by an external IPMItool or a built-in Web server that supports IPMI access interfaces. Act as IPMI Client. For BMC, this design is reasonable, because in a server with multiple computing units, BMC ...
