Embodiment 1

[0020] The single board in the ATCA platform itself has a BMC (Baseboard Management Controller, motherboard management controller) independent of the operating system. The BMC has a physical channel directly connected to the operating system on the single board. The BMC and the ATCA platform The SMM board is directly connected through the IPMB bus.

[0021] At present, there is no IPMI interpreter on the operating system of the single board, so it cannot respond to and process the IPMI commands from the BMC. In the embodiment of the present invention, an IPMI interpreter is deployed in the operating system of the single board to explain the IPMI protocol communication between the operating system of the single board and the BMC. The network management server accesses the BMC of the single board through the SMM board in the ATCA platform, and then uses the above-mentioned IPMI interpreter to communicate with the operating system of the single board through the BMC.

[0022] A ...

Embodiment 2

[0030] Based on the above-mentioned BMC and IPMI interpreter, the processing flow of a method for communicating with a single board provided in this embodiment is as follows image 3 As shown, the following processing steps are included:

[0031] Step 31, the IPMI interpreter receives the IPMI command sent by the BMC, interprets the IPMI command, and obtains the execution command.

[0032] First, set the IPMI interpreter in the operating system of the board. The IPMI interpreter receives the IPMI command sent by the BMC through the physical channel, and obtains the execution command after interpreting the IPMI command.

[0033] The IPMI command is sent by the network management server to the SMM board, and then the SMM board sends it to the BMC through the IPMB bus.

[0034] Step 32, the IPMI interpreter executes the execution command to obtain an execution result, and sends the execution result to the BMC through the physical channel.

[0035] The IPMI interpreter executes...

Embodiment 3

[0038] A schematic diagram of the principle of a method for managing a single board in an ATCA platform through an out-of-band channel provided by this embodiment is as follows Figure 4 As shown, the specific processing flow is as follows Figure 5 As shown, the following processing steps are included:

[0039] Step 51, the user first logs in to the network management server through the aforementioned ATCA platform, and the network management server obtains login information such as the user's IP address, user name, and password.

[0040] A user sends a request to the network management server to perform a service management operation on a single board in the ATCA platform, for example, the user requests to obtain system log information related to the above single board.

[0041] Step 52, the network management server judges whether the above-mentioned user has the use authority of the IPMI interpreter according to the login information of the above-mentioned user, and retur...

Abstract

The invention provides a method, device and system for communicating with a single board. The method mainly comprises the steps of receiving an intelligent platform management protocol IPMI (Intelligent Platform Management Interface) command from a network management server, which is transmitted by a BMC (Baseboard Management Controller), through a physical channel; interpreting the IPMI command by using an IPMI interpreter; removing IPMI protocol-related information included in the IPMI command to obtain an executing command; executing the executing command under the control of an operation system of the single board to obtain an executing result; and transmitting the executing result to the BMC through the physical channel. By using the invention, an out-of-band management channel independent of a business application network (such as an IP (Internet Protocol) network) is realized between the network management server and the operation system of the single board; and by using the out-of-band management channel, the business of the single board can be managed.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of computer application technology, in particular to a method, device and system for communicating with a single board. Background technique [0002] ATCA (Advanced Telecom Computing Architecture, Advanced Telecom Computing Architecture) is an advanced telecom computing platform, a cost-effective, modular-based, compatible and scalable hardware for next-generation converged communications and data network applications framework. [0003] The ATCA platform mainly includes: SMM (Shelf Management Module, frame management module) and single board. The entire ATCA platform is embedded with multiple isolated network planes, and each single board and SMM board can communicate directly in the network plane. The foregoing network plane includes: a service plane and an IPBM (Intelligent Platform Management Interface, intelligent platform management plane) plane. Wherein, the service plane is a network plane for service manag...
