Problems solved by technology

[0005] 1) It is necessary to build a dedicated management network and configure switching equipment, and the implementation cost is relatively high;
[0006] 2) The BMC management network uses a parallel bus, and the amount of network wiring is relatively large;
[0007] 3) The interface layer of the BMC module is not uniform, and it is difficult for customers to integrate various BMC modules into a unified management network;
[0008] 4) The amount of data information transmitted is insufficient, and IPMI only includes the transmission of keyboard and mouse operations, video transmission, and sensor data transmission
There is no way to transmit power-on / off commands, server presence information, etc.

Abstract

The invention provides a multi-protocol centralized communication method for heterogeneous computer clusters. A unified computer cluster management network is constructed conveniently through an interface, the management network is independent of a hardware platform and a software operation system and has cross-platform and out-of-band characteristics, compared with traditional block multiplexer channel (BMC) management devices based on an intelligent platform management interface (IPMI) protocol, the management network transmits rich data types, the implementation cost is low, the method is suitable for a complex heterogeneous network environment, and monitoring and management of server clusters is performed.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of computer application technology, in particular to a method for multi-protocol centralized communication of heterogeneous computer clusters. Background technique [0002] Most of the actual computer cluster environment is composed of various heterogeneous computer platforms connected to each other. For example, hardware platforms based on X86, SPARC, and POWER run various operating systems on these hardware platforms, such as Windows, Linux, Solaris, and AIX. Managing such a complex computer cluster environment is quite difficult. In terms of data flow communication, there are currently some standard protocols and buses that various computer manufacturers abide by. Such as Gigabit / 10 Gigabit Ethernet, Infiniband, wireless communication protocols, etc. However, there is not yet a complete and unified standard for control flow, which makes it very difficult for computers of various platforms and manufacturers to co...
