Embodiment Construction

[0017] Basically, the present invention disclosed in the following embodiments provides a special system management architecture, which mainly includes "area cards" and "management cards" as an alternative compatible to the same management interface on each system board. One or more management cards on the system board can optionally be replaced by zone cards to provide minimal management functions and some customization capabilities. In an ideal embodiment, a BMC-based central management module and one or more zone cards are sufficient to remotely manage the entire multi-board system. Alternatively, some management cards may remain on some system boards to provide full management functionality. In the present invention, a BMC-based device means that the device is provided with a BMC; whether it is on-board or on-card.

[0018] Please refer to FIG. 2. In a multi-board system 200 such as a blade system, a cluster system or a symmetric multiprocessing system, the system managem...

Abstract

The invention discloses a system administration rack for monitoring and controlling multi-mainboard system with complex number system mainboard. The system administration rack comprises area card for selectively replace a manage card based on substrate management controller on system mainboard. The area card mainly comprises general purpose input output device (GPIO device) basic logic device. A central management module also is used for system administration rack, the system mainboard is monitored and controlled by management bus and management card or area card. The area card monitors state signal on the mainboard of the monitoring system based on the order signal from the central management module, at the same time the customized monitoring function is provided. Thus the area card can promote the resilience performed by the system administration rack and the cost required by a lot of management cards based on the substrate management controller and maintenance support is reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a system management framework in a computer system, in particular to a system management framework applied to a multi-mainboard system with multiple system mainboards. Background technique [0002] For different computing systems, such as: cluster system, symmetric multi-processing system (SMP system, Symmetric Multi-Processing system), storage server (storage server) and network equipment, etc., in a single rack (rack) or body ( A multi-mainboard management system (multi-mainboard system) in which several mainboards or mother boards are installed in a chassis is a typical physical structure. In these systems, each motherboard is treated like a separate computer. To manage each mainboard in the system, a local Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) is used in the system for local management or board-level management. Another level of management in the system, if any, would be a central management module; it manages all motherb...
