Problems solved by technology

Single use of this data exchange has two disadvantages: (1) The maximum IPMB bus rate is only 400Kb / s, and the load capacity is 400pf, which is not suitable for long-distance and dynamic management of large data volumes; (2) An IPMB communication method must have an IPMB The address, and the IPMB address of each blade must be different. The current method is that the BMC defines its own IP address in advance. Once it is determined, it is inconvenient to debug and modify.

Embodiment Construction

[0014] The method of the present invention is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0015] The automatic allocation method of blade server management intranet IP in the present invention mainly has two aspects of improvement:

[0016] (1) SMC and BMC communicate and interact through Ethernet switches, and the rate can reach 10 / 100Mbps, which is nearly 1000 times that of the IPMB bus, and the use of differential signals is suitable for long-distance communication;

[0017] (2) The blade server is plugged into the signal backplane, and the ID numbers of 20 blades are defined through the signal backplane, and the BMC determines its own IP address through the ID number of each blade. Where it is inserted, the IP address of the management intranet is determined, which is only related to the ID of each blade.

[0018] Specific steps are as follows

[0019] (1) According to figure 2 Establish the SMC module to communicate with the BMC through th...

Abstract

The invention provides an automatic distribution method of a blade server management internal network IP address. Each BMC module is outward provided with two groups of Ethernet buses which are connected with an SMC0 and an SMC1 for redundancy design. Communication interaction between each SMC and each MBC is realized through the Ethernet buses, a rate can reach 10 / 100 Mbps and is about 1000 times of a rate of an IPMB bus, and employing a differential signal is suitable for long distance communication. Through a mode of defining an ID number of each blade through a backboard, an Ethernet IP address of the BMC module is determined, an advantage of employing the mode is that whatever a position the blade inserts into, an IP address of a management internal network is determined and is only related to the ID number of each blade.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a server technology, in particular to a blade server management intranet IP automatic allocation method. Background technique [0002] Blade servers are widely used in high-performance computing and cloud computing services due to their high availability, high density, and ease of centralized management. Among them, the management system of blade servers has gradually become the key direction of technological innovation of different manufacturers. Such as figure 1 Shown is the traditional blade server management method, the SMC module communicates with the BMC of each blade through the IPMB protocol. Single use of this data exchange has two disadvantages: (1) The maximum IPMB bus rate is only 400Kb / s, and the load capacity is 400pf, which is not suitable for long-distance and dynamic management of large data volumes; (2) An IPMB communication method must have an IPMB The address, and the IPMB address of each blade mus...
