In-band management method and system

Abstract

The embodiment of the invention discloses an in-band management method and a system, which relates to the technical field of a computer, and solves the problems in the prior art that the in-band management efficiency is low and the cost is low. The method is applied to the in-band management system. The system comprises a management module, a personal computer (PC) internet (IE) exchanging module and a first network card supporting single root input output virtualization (SR-IOV) or a second network card supporting multi-root input output virtualization (MR-IOV), and the method comprises the following steps that the management module recognizes the type of a network card which is connected with the PC IE exchanging module; if the recognized type of the network card is the first network card, vision frequency (VF) modules are divided on the first network card so as to respectively allocate the VF module to a user host and the management module, which are connected with the PC IE exchanging module; the management module adopts the VF module as an in-band management network card to be communicated with the user host; if the recognized type of the network card is the second network card, pulse frequency (PF) modules are respectively allocated to the user host and the management module, which are connected onto the PC IE exchanging module; and the management module adopts the RF module as the in-band management network card to be communicated with the user host. The in-band management method and the in-band management system are applicable to the in-band management technology.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of computers, in particular to an in-band management method and system. Background technique [0002] Generally, network management can be divided into in-band management and out-of-band management. Wherein, the in-band management means that the management control information of the network and the bearing service information of the user network are transmitted through the same logical channel. When the flow of management data is small and the transmission of management data has little impact on the performance of the entire network, in-band management can be applied to save logical channel resources. [0003] The current in-band management is the management of the user host by the management module. Generally, the management module needs to connect a network card through the network controller sideband interface (Network Controller S i deband In erface, NC-S I for short). , and a user host should also be ...
