Embodiment Construction

[0015] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. The invention provides a method for accurately monitoring a RAID card. The specific implementation process is as follows: the server is equipped with a base board controller BMC, and then the RAID controller is connected to the BMC through an I2C bus to form a physical path for the BMC to access the RAID controller;

[0016] MC acts as an I2C master to send I2C commands to access the RAID controller, and the RAID card acts as an I2C slave to receive I2C access commands and return corresponding RAID information to the host; BMC provides IPMI commands to the outside world for viewing and setting RAID information.

[0017] Its specific implementation process is as attached figure 1 , figure 2 shown.

[0018] 1. Build physical pathways.

[0019] The server is equipped with a baseboard controller BMC. In terms of hardware logic, the RAID controlle...

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for accurately monitoring a RAID card. The specific realization process is as follows: a server is equipped with a substrate controller BMC, and then the RAID controller is connected with the BMC through an I2C bus to form a physical path through which the BMC accesses the RAID controller; the BMC as I2C master sends I2C instruction to access RAID controller, the RAID card as I2C slave receives I2C access instruction and returns corresponding RAID information to master. The BMC provides IPMI commands to the outside world for viewing and setting RAID information. Compared with the prior art, the method has the advantages that through an IPMI protocol, RAID information can be viewed and RAID related configuration can be set, which is convenient for unified management of RAID information. Users can view and set RAID information by sending IPMI commands, which can be carried out in batches and achieve centralized management of RAID information, and the method has strong practicability and is easy to popularize.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of computer servers, in particular to a method for accurately monitoring a RAID card. Background technique [0002] RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks, Redundant Array of Independent Disks) is a technology that combines multiple independent hard disks (physical hard disks) in different ways to form a hard disk group (logical hard disk). storage performance. [0003] RAID technology is widely used in the server field, and RAID information generally needs to be entered into the WEB BIOS of the RAID card during the BIOS PSOT process for information viewing and configuration settings. This method can only be viewed and set for a single server, and cannot be viewed and set in batches. [0004] In view of the existing problems, the present invention proposes a method for monitoring RAID cards. Users can check and set RAID information by sending IPMI commands, which can be performed in batches to achieve ...
