Method and system for handling bus failure status of group computer equipment management and control

Abstract

A method and system for handling bus failure conditions of group computer equipment, which can be integrated into a blade server to provide the blade server with the function of handling bus failure conditions; and its characteristic is that each blade type When the management and control bus of the server fails, it can automatically detect the cause and make the service module where the cause is located to reset its own bus controller; if the management and control bus fails to return to the normal operation state, then Send out warning information in the form of lights, so that network system managers can know which service module is causing the failure of the control bus by checking the lights on each service module. This feature allows network system administrators to more quickly and efficiently eliminate the cause of control bus failure.

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 m...

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
