Intelligence platform interface management apparatus and server

Abstract

The invention embodiment discloses a distributed substrate management controller, the substrate management controller comprises a substrate management controller and a local area network interface processor connected with the substrate management controller, wherein, the local area network interface processor is used for distributing intelligent platform management system messages from the remote management control terminal to the substrate management controller and acquires the information of a local server, transmits the information of the local server to the connected network; the substrate management controller is used for receiving the intelligent platform management system messages transmitted by the local area network interface processor to implement the management and control of the intelligent platform management system. Correspondingly, the invention embodiment also discloses a server to improve the management performance of the substrate management controller.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a communication field, in particular to an intelligent platform interface management device and a server. Background technique [0002] Server manufacturers have developed the Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) standard for cross-platform system management since 1998. The purpose is to provide servers with hot swap, monitoring, alarms, logs, assets, security, and remote maintenance. and other management functions. All IPMI functions are accomplished by sending commands to the baseboard management controller. The BMC receives and stores event messages recorded in system events, and maintains sensor data records describing the sensor conditions in the system. When remote access to the system is required, certain IPMI messages need to be encapsulated in the protocol packets of the Remote Management Control Protocol (RMCP) to be sent and received through the network. This implementation is called LAN-based IPMI ( IP...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] In the process of realizing the present invention, the inventor finds that there are at least the following problems in the above-mentioned prior art one: such a system needs to modify the existing BMC software to realize enhanced features such as SOL, KVM and LAN Alerting, which increases the BMC software complexity and CPU load

[0006] In the process of realizing the present invention, the inventor finds that there are at least the following problems in the above-mentioned prior art 2: such a system needs to modify the existing BMC software to increase the complexity of the BMC software in order to realize enhanced features such as SOL, KVM, and LAN Alerting. degree and CPU load

Choosing an embedded chip with a network controller will increase the hardware cost and increase the processing load of the TCP / IP protocol layer of the BCM, which will occupy the CPU processing time of the BCM and cause performance degradation

Enhanced features such as SOL, KVM, and LAN Alerting will also increase the complexity of the BMC software and occupy the CPU processing time of the BMC. If the CPU performance is relatively poor, enhanced functions such as KVM that require high bandwidth cannot be implemented.
