Embodiment 1

[0022] This embodiment provides a method for modifying the topology of the backplane on the VPX platform. The method is as follows: figure 2 As shown, it specifically includes the following steps:

[0023] S21, configure IPMI commands;

[0024] The specific implementation method can be as follows: an IPMI command is configured on the ChMC 14, and the IPMI command carries the topology mode required by the user,

[0025] S22. When the user needs to replace the topology of the backplane, the ChMC 14 sends an IPMI command to the VMC 11 in each board;

[0026] There may be multiple ways of sending the IPMI command, for example, the user sends the IPMI command through a user management interface such as a CLI or a system manager (System Manager, SM).

[0027] S23, after receiving the IPMI command, the VMC 11 in each board parses the IPMI command to obtain the topology mode carried by the command, and obtains the slot number corresponding to the board,

[0028] S24. The VMC 11 in...

Embodiment 2

[0036] This embodiment provides a method for configuring the topology of the backplane on the VPX platform. The method is as follows: image 3 As shown, it specifically includes the following steps:

[0037] S31, configure IPMI commands;

[0038] S32. The VMC 11 in the board receives the IPMI command sent by the user manually; the IPMI command includes a slot number and a topology mode;

[0039] Wherein, the specific manual manner may include: sending an IPMI command to the VMC 11 through embedded software.

[0040] S33, VMC 11 save slot number and topology mode in non-volatile storage space NVROM (located in VMC11, figure 1 not shown);

[0041] Of course, in actual situations, it can also be stored in other non-volatile devices, such as Flash.

[0042]S34, when the VPX platform starts, VMC11 obtains the topology mode and the slot number of the card board on the VPX platform, compares the acquired topology mode and slot number with the saved slot number and topology mode, ...

Embodiment 3

[0047] This embodiment also provides a kind of VPX platform, and this platform comprises: the intelligent platform management interface IPMI order that is configured in VPX platform; The corresponding slot number and pre-stored configuration parameters realize the modification of the backplane topology on the VPX platform.

[0048] It should be noted that the board in this embodiment may also include:

[0049] The VMC located in the board receives the IPMI command sent by the user through the rack management controller ChMC of the VPX platform;

[0050] The VMC also parses the IPMI command to obtain the topology mode required by the user carried by the IPMI command;

[0051] The VMC also obtains the slot number of the VPX platform corresponding to the board, and queries the configuration parameters that match the obtained slot number and the topology required by the user from the pre-stored configuration parameters. configuration parameters;

[0052] VMC also overrides the ...

Abstract

The invention is suitable for the field of computers and provides a VPX (Versatile Protocol Switch) platform and a method for modifying a backplate topological structure on the VPX platform. The method comprises the steps of: configuring an intelligent platform management interface (IPMI) command; and modifying the backplate topological structure on the VPX platform on the basis of a topological mode required by a user and carried in the IPMI command, a slot position number corresponding to a board card, and a prestored configuration parameter by the board card on the VPX platform. The invention has the advantages of simpleness in realization, high effect and simpleness in maintenance of a specific implementation mode.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of computers, and in particular relates to a method for modifying the topological structure of a backplane on a VPX platform and the VPX platform. Background technique [0002] Versatile Protocol Switch (VPX) is a next-generation advanced computing platform standard formulated by VITA (VMEbus International Trade Association) to meet the requirements of high reliability and high bandwidth in harsh environments. It has been adopted by ANSI (American National Standards Institute) adopted. [0003] VITA-related specifications define a variety of backplane topologies, and the connection methods of different topologies are also different. The modification method of the backplane topology on the VPX platform provided by the prior art is to configure the default configuration parameters (generally the configuration parameters corresponding to the most commonly used topology) in the EEPROM of the board, and when the backplane...
