Embodiment Construction
[0018] In order to make the purpose, technical features and implementation effects of the present invention clearer, the technical solution of the present invention will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0019] After a blade is installed, at least three addresses are required:
[0020] Slot address, used to identify which physical slot the blade is inserted in;
[0021] Management communication address, used for communication between management blades, the internal management network of the blade is usually RS485 network;
[0022] The IP address is used for communication between blades and switches and between blades.
[0023] In the current technology, when initializing the above-mentioned slot address, management communication address and IP address of the blade, the blade and the management module need to cooperate to complete, especially the initialization of the IP address depends on the management modu...

The invention provides a blade server and a method for managing blade addresses, wherein, the server comprises at least one back plane, each of which is provided with at least one slot position; at least one memory chip, which is one-to-one corresponding to the at least one slot position; each of the at least one memory chip is used for storing the slot position address, the manage communication address and the IP address of the slot position corresponding to each of the at least one memory chip; and at least one blade, each of which is inserted into a corresponding slot position of the at least one slot position. By adopting the technology provided by the embodiment, the slot position address, the communication address and the IP address are all stored in the memory chip, thus reducing the design difficulty of the blade, saving the connecting pins between the blade and the back plane; and when the blade is inserted into the slot position, the communication address and a preset IP communication address can be read from the memory chip without intervention and allocation of a manage module; and even if the blade is changed, the system can be used after reconfiguration without being changed.
Description
technical field [0001] The invention relates to server management technology, in particular to a blade server and a method for managing blade addresses. Background technique [0002] There are multiple blades in a blade server, and each blade occupies a slot. After a blade is installed, at least three addresses are required, one is the slot address, which is used to identify which physical slot it is inserted in, and the second is the communication address between management, which is used for communication between internal management of the blade. The management network is usually the RS485 network; the third is the IP address used for communication between the blade and the switch and between the blades. The slot address, communication address, and IP address of the blade need to cooperate with the management module to complete the initialization, especially the initialization of the IP address depends on the management module. [0003] In the prior art, either several r...
