Problems solved by technology

[0004]Currently in rack-mounted blade servers, the density of computing blades is getting higher and higher, and the number of modules to be managed by the management module is generally more than 20. It adopts bus management modes such as Ethernet, RS485, I2C, and custom links. There are disadvantages such as complex management links, too many mid-board routings, inconsistency with the system bus inside the computing blade, and difficult management software design.

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for managing a blade server based on an SMBUS, and belongs to a method for managing a blade server. The method realizes the management of all blade server components through a management module and a management link based on the SMBUS; a system of the blade server comprises the management module, a median plate, a power supply module, a switching module and a blade computing module; the management module and the power supply module, the switching module and the blade computing module are connected by the median plate through the independent SMBUS respectively and managed by adopting SMBUS protocols; the management module, the power supply module and the switching module are all in redundancy design; and all SMBUS management paths are SMBUS redundant paths. Compared with the prior art, the method for managing the blade server based on the SMBUS has the advantages of simple and convenient management circuits, easy implementation, lowered management and design cost, and the like.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for managing a blade server, in particular to a method for managing a blade server based on an SMBUS bus. Background technique [0002] The so-called blade server (accurately speaking, it should be called a blade server) refers to a server unit that can be plugged with multiple card types in a standard height rack cabinet to achieve high availability and high density. Each "blade" is actually a system motherboard. They can start their own operating systems through the "onboard" hard disk, such as Windows NT / 2000, Linux, etc., similar to individual servers. In this mode, each motherboard runs its own system and serves the specified Different user groups are not related to each other. However, administrators can use system software to combine these motherboards into a server cluster. In cluster mode, all motherboards can be connected to provide a high-speed network environment, and share resources at the same time to ...
