Problems solved by technology

[0006] The existing server power consumption management method requires the ME firmware to connect to the power module of the server to obtain the power consumption of the server. In the case of multiple power modules in the server, the ME firmware needs to connect the power module of the server to obtain the power consumption of the server requires a more complex hardware circuit

Embodiment Construction

[0026] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present invention more clear, the embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that, in the case of no conflict, the embodiments in the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined arbitrarily with each other.

[0027] The steps shown in the flowcharts of the figures may be performed in a computer system, such as a set of computer-executable instructions. Also, although a logical order is shown in the flowcharts, in some cases the steps shown or described may be performed in an order different from that shown or described herein.

[0028] The inventors found that in existing servers, the BMC is not configured to directly transmit the obtained server power consumption to the ME firmware, so the BMC cannot send the obtained server power consumption to the ME firmware.

Abstract

The invention provides a server and a method for realizing power consumption management of the server. The server comprises a baseboard management controller (BMC) and management engine (ME) firmware. The method comprises the following steps that the ME firmware sends a message for acquiring the power consumption of the server to the BMC; and the BMC responds to the message sent by the ME firmware to send the power consumption of the server to send the power consumption of the server to the ME firmware. According to the method provided by the invention, the power consumption of the server is sent to the ME firmware, which replaces the way of acquiring the power consumption of the server when the ME firmware is connected with a power supply module of the server in the prior art, so that the hardware circuit connection of the ME firmware for acquiring the power consumption of the server is simplified.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to server technology, in particular to a server and a method for realizing server power consumption management. Background technique [0002] In a computer room with a large number of servers, since the total power available to the computer room itself is fixed, it is very likely that the load of all servers is too high and the total power exceeds the rated power of the computer room, resulting in a power outage, causing all servers to stop run. Therefore, in the case of a relatively heavy server load, even if the performance of the server is affected, the condition that the power consumption of the entire computer room is lower than the rated power of the computer room must first be met. Therefore, it is necessary to set up a system in the computer room to monitor and manage the server power consumption of the servers in the entire computer room, to ensure that the server power consumption of all servers is below the rated power...
