Abstract

The invention discloses a method for remotely controlling the start-up of a server, which is realized by controlling start-up parameters. It is used in an advanced telecommunication computing architecture. The server supports an intelligent platform management protocol, and has installed an operating system and a boot program; The method comprises the following steps: setting a client for remote management of the startup parameters of the server, and connecting with the server; the client sends a request to modify the startup parameters to the server through an intelligent platform management interface command, and the server sends the The modified startup parameters are saved in the passive memory of its baseboard management controller; the server reads the startup parameters from the passive memory when starting, and uses the startup parameters to start its operating system. The method for remotely controlling the start-up of the server in the present invention is not affected by whether the server is powered on because the management of the start-up parameters is not affected; at the same time, because the remote start-up parameter maintenance can be realized without on-site labor, the maintenance cost is saved.

Description

technical field

[0001] The present invention relates to a method for controlling the starting mode of a server without process, and in particular to a method for controlling remote starting parameters of a server equipped with a baseboard management controller (BMC) by using the intelligent platform management interface IPMI specification. Background technique

[0002] In the prior art, ATCA (Advanced Telecom Computing Architecture, Advanced Telecom Computing Architecture) is a new generation computing platform standard for high throughput and high reliability. The ATCA specification takes into account the growing needs of telecom operators and adopts a new design. This new standard helps telecom equipment manufacturers meet the increasingly stringent requirements of operators, including hardware reliability, high availability, scalability and I / O O bandwidth, and enhanced manageability and interoperability, etc.

[0003] In the ATCA specification, intelligent management of...

Embodiment Construction

[0040] Various preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0041] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the remote management system 20 of the present invention includes at least one intelligent platform management interface client 11 and at least one intelligent platform management interface server 12, which can be connected between the client 11 and the server 12 The connection through the network cable 14 is shown in Figure 2 or the connection through the serial port method 13 is shown in Figure 1 . The server 12 supports the intelligent platform management protocol, and has installed an operating system and a boot program; the client 11 is used for remote management of startup parameters on the server.

[0042] The difference between the present invention and the prior art is that the baseboard management controller (BMC) of the server 12 supports storing / retrieving startup parameters in the passi...
