System and method for processing invalidation situation of groups type computer equipment management control bus

Abstract

The invention discloses a method as well as a system for processing the management-control bus failure condition of group type computer equipment, and for example, the invention is applicable to be integrated to a blade type server to provide the processing function for the management-control bus failure condition to the blade type server. The invention is characterized in that the cause ubiety can be automatically detected when the failure condition happens to the management-control bus of the blade type server, and the service module on which the cause is located is led to self-reset a belonged bus controller thereof; if the management-control bus cannot successfully return to the normal operation state, cresset type alarming information is sent out to enable a network system administrator to obtain the service module which is the cause of the management-control bus failure condition by only checking the cresset on each service module. The characteristic can enable the network system administrator to faster and more efficiently eliminate the cause of failure condition of the management-control bus.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a computer information technology, in particular to a method and a system for processing failure status of a clustering computer equipment management and control bus. Background technique [0002] A blade server is a network server of a clustering type, which is characterized in that two or more modular server units (hereinafter referred to as "" service modules"), and these service modules are used to provide server functions in groups, that is, as long as network users connect to any one of these service modules, they can connect online and use the server functions provided by the blade server . In practice, each service module in the blade server is made into a blade-shaped circuit board, so that network managers can easily integrate it into the circuit chassis at any time to increase user capacity. [0003] In terms of specific implementation, the blade server is usually equipped with a chassis management unit (chassis ma...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, in actual application, the IPMB bus in the blade server may fail for some reason, so that the data between the chassis controller and each service module cannot be transmitted. Communication makes the chassis controller unable to control the service module

Since the current blade server cannot prompt the network system administrators which service module is the service module causing the situation when the IPMB bus failure occurs, the solution to this problem is for the network system administrators to use trial and error. way to unplug some service modules, or reset the entire server blade

However, this approach is obviously time-consuming and laborious and inefficient
