Wireless power supply control system and control method

Abstract

The invention discloses a power supply control system and control method. The power supply control system is used for controlling the opening or closing of computer nodes in a computer cluster system and comprises a control terminal and a plurality of power supply control nodes connected by a wireless grid network, wherein the control terminal is suitable for acquiring route information and transmits a control signal to the power supply control nodes in a wireless way; the control signal carries an active address, a destination address, route information and information for the computer nodes to be controlled; the power supply control nodes are connected between the control terminal and the computer nodes, is suitable for receiving and analyzing the control signal and controlling the opening or closing of the corresponding computer nodes on the basis of the information for the computer nodes to be controlled; and when the power supply control nodes are the power supply control nodes pointed by the destination address, the power supply control nodes forward a control signal to the wireless grid network on the basis of the analyzed route information. The power supply control system has the advantages of strong extensibility and high safety.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of computer technology, in particular to a wireless power supply control system and a control method. Background technique [0002] There are two types of power management for computer systems: in-band management and out-of-band management. The so-called in-band management means that the control input of the power management system comes from the local system, that is, the power supply of the computer system is controlled through the local system software (mainly through the operating system). Using in-band management can control the power supply of the computer system more conveniently, and because the in-band management is controlled by the computer system software, it can flexibly complete operations such as on, off, restart, and even voltage adjustment according to software instructions. However, in-band management also has certain defects. Because its management of the power supply of the computer system complet...

Problems solved by technology

However, with the popularization of data centers, the scale of computer clusters is getting larger and larger, and the traditional out-of-band management of mechanical switches cannot effectively complete the task. Therefore, the remote power management network system came into being

[0004] For now, most of the network of the general remote power management system is realized by wire. However, with the increase of the scale of the computer cluster, the complexity, cost and wiring overhead of the network are also increasing. In order to solve the Problems in network cost and wiring overhead, and some remote power management system networks use wireless transmission control signals, such as the Chinese patent with the announcement number CN2879275 discloses a power management device with wireless control function, but it only involves In addition to using a wireless network to transmit control signals, how to improve the scalability and transmission security of the power management system has not been involved.
