Problems solved by technology

If the BMC system is down or the administrator needs to perform related on / off maintenance operations on the BMC system, it is currently impossible to directly turn on / off the BMC of a single server and cut off the single server through the RMC. The AC power supply can also switch the BMC on and off, but this will affect the running system of the server, and the design of directly cutting off the power supply is costly and inconvenient

Embodiment Construction

[0013] Such as figure 1 Shown is an application environment diagram of the cabinet server BMC power-on / off control system of the present invention. The cabinet server BMC switch machine control system 21 is applied in the cabinet server 1 to control the startup, shutdown and restart of the BMC4 of each server 6 in the cabinet. The rack server 1 further includes a rack management controller (Rack Management Controller, RMC) 2 and an I2C expander 3 . The rack management controller 2 is connected with an input device 7 and a display device 8 .

[0014] The number of said servers 6 is one or more. Each of the servers 6 corresponds to a BMC 4 and a power management chip (Power IC) 11 .

[0015] The power management chip 11 is connected to the BMC chip through a restart signal (RST) or a power signal (PWR). The restart signal is used to control the restart of the BMC, and the power signal includes a start signal and a shutdown signal, which are used to control the start and shut...

Abstract

The invention provides a cabinet server BMC startup and shutdown control system and method. The method includes the steps of receiving the number and the operation mode of a server, wherein the number and the operation mode are input by a user; conducting analysis to find out the server corresponding to the number according to the received number of the server, and connecting a cabinet management controller to the server through an I2C extender; judging whether the operation mode corresponding to the server is a restart mode or not according to the value of the received operation mode; sending a restart control signal to the server through the I2C extender if the operation mode corresponding to the server is the restart mode so as to trigger restart of the BMC; detecting the startup and shutdown state of the BMC of the server; sending a shutdown control signal to the server through the I2C extender to trigger shutdown of the BMC when the BMC is in the startup state; sending a startup control signal to the server through the I2C extender so as to trigger startup of the BMC when the BMC is in the shutdown state.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a cabinet server BMC switch machine control system and method. Background technique [0002] At present, with the development of Internet Data Center (IDC: Internet Data Center), the number of IDC servers has also increased rapidly with the development of IDC. In order to facilitate unified management, designers will superimpose multiple servers into one cabinet , and design a rack management controller (Rack Management Controller, RMC) to allocate and manage server resources in the rack, and a BMC system will be designed for each single server in the rack. If the BMC system is down or the administrator needs to perform related on / off maintenance operations on the BMC system, it is currently impossible to directly turn on / off the BMC of a single server and cut off the single server through the RMC. The AC power supply can also switch the BMC on and off, but this will affect the running system of the server, and the design of d...
