Embodiment Construction

[0011] see figure 1 , figure 1 It is a functional block diagram of the IMPI system 10 of the present invention. The IMPI system 10 can be a server controlled by a remote console (console) through the network. The IMPI system 10 includes a baseboard management controller (BMC) 20 and a memory unit 15 . The BMC 20 and the memory unit 15 can be formed on a daughter board or integrated into a single chip.

[0012] The baseboard management controller 20 performs system management functions on the basis of the IMPI specification, and includes a firmware module (Firmware Module) 22, a transmission protocol unit (Protocol unit) 24, an information comparison table (Information Table) 26 and a driver A driver table 28 is used to store drivers for initializing various peripheral controllers. The peripheral controller includes a sideband LAN channel (Side-band LAN Channel) 202, an intelligent platform management bus channel (Intelligent Platform Management Bus channel, IPMB channel) 2...

Abstract

A system of managing a plurality of peripheral interfaces in an (IPMI) architecture to communicate with a plurality of peripheral controllers is provided, which includes a firmware module, a transport protocol unit, a memory unit and a driver check list. The firmware module is used for reading the memory address table to acquire an initial address corresponding to the respective peripheral interface and add an offset address to the initial address to generate an information structure. The transport protocol unit is for converting each information structure to comply with the controller transport protocol of IMPI transport protocol. The memory unit is for accessing the information of the peripheral controller. The driver check list is for storing a plurality of peripheral controller drivers, corresponding to the respective peripheral controllers. The firmware module is used for accessing the controller drivers in accordance with specific peripheral controller information to initialize the peripheral controllers.

Description

【Technical field】 [0001] The present invention relates to a computer management system and method, in particular to a management system and method for driving programs of various peripheral controllers. 【Background technique】 [0002] In recent years, the number of servers used by various companies, especially multinational companies, has been increasing year by year. However, traditionally, system administrators have to go to the local area for maintenance or troubleshooting in person for failures of various types of remote servers such as telecommunication equipment rooms or computer stations, especially for important servers such as ISP servers, which is too labor-intensive and time cost. Nowadays, in order to overcome such shortcomings, in order to maintain a good state of remote server operation, companies such as Intel, NEC, Hewlett-Packard and Dell have jointly formulated the Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IntelligentPlatform Management Interface, IMPI) s...
