Example Embodiment

[0006] Specific steps are as follows:

[0007] The command sending module is included in the management module, and the command response module is included in the BMC. After the management module obtains the management right, the command sending module is called by the management right switching module, and sends commands to each BMC to open the network interface connected to itself , and close the network interface connected with other management modules, the command response module in the BMC is responsible for performing the task of opening and closing the corresponding network interface, and sends the execution result back to the command sending module.

[0008] The method of the present invention fundamentally solves the problem of network configuration conflict caused by the inherent characteristics of the Linux kernel of the BMC in the blade server management network setting process, and further improves the reliability and availability of the redundant management system...

Abstract

The invention provides a method for avoiding network conflicts in a blade redundancy management system. The system comprises a command sending module and a command response module, the command sending module is included in a management module, and the command response module is included in a BMC (baseboard management controller). According to the network conflict avoiding step, the command sending module sends a command to the command response module, and a network interface in the standby state in the BMC is closed so as to prevent the interface in the standby state from conflicting with an interface in use, so that multiple network interfaces on the MBC are allowed to adopt the same configuration without conflict. By the method, the problem of network configuration conflict caused by inherent characteristics of a Linux kernel of the BMC in the setting process of the blade server management network is solved radically, and reliability and usability of the redundancy management system are further improved; meanwhile, part of the functions can be executed automatically, user operation is simpler, and usability of the redundancy management system is further improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of servers, in particular to a method for avoiding network conflicts in a blade redundancy management system. Background technique [0002] The server management system based on the IPMI protocol has been widely used in ordinary rack servers and blade servers as a standard configuration. Due to its special structure, the blade server generally uses an independent SMC as the management interface to interact with the outside world. At the same time, the SMC also needs to communicate with the blade BMC to monitor the status of the blade and send user commands to the blade BMC. It is common practice to use an Ethernet connection instead of the previous I 2 C connection for communication, so it involves configuration and communication between the external management network and the internal management network of the blade server. At the same time, with the gradual improvement of users' requirements for high...
