Problems solved by technology

[0003] For a computer room isolated from the external network environment, to realize BMC management, the first thing to do is to give BMC a fixed IP. The firmware update of each node BMC requires external input and output devices such as keyboards and monitors. However, high-density servers have many nodes, and it takes a lot of manpower and material resources to update the BMC firmware of the entire cabinet node, resulting in greatly increased product testing and post-operation and maintenance costs, and extremely low efficiency.
How to conveniently and quickly update the BMC firmware of the entire cabinet node in batches has become an urgent problem to be solved for testing and operation and maintenance, and setting BMCIP for a single node is a time-consuming, cumbersome operation with a high error rate. .Obviously, a BMCIP setting method that can be operated in batches and has timeliness will be able to better solve users' problems and improve the management level of users' IT systems

Embodiment 1

[0030] A batch setting method of BMCIP of the whole cabinet server based on Xshell script, the method uses a single RMC management control module to transmit signals indirectly through the middle board of the node, and then locates each BMC of the whole cabinet, so that it can normally execute the setting command for BMCIP , and finally through the Xshell script on the server side, the setting instructions are issued in batches, which saves the cumbersome testing of each BMC by the test and maintenance engineers, greatly improves the efficiency of testing and maintenance, and shortens the development cycle and maintenance time.

Embodiment 2

[0032] Such as figure 1 As shown, on the basis of Embodiment 1, the specific implementation process of the method described in this embodiment is:

[0033] Build a test platform, prepare the test environment, and connect the RMC to the node mid-board so that the RMC can communicate with each node. The RMC here refers to the remote management main board;

[0034] Write a script for setting BMCIP in the Xshell environment;

[0035] Log in to RMC through Xshell, and run the BMCIP batch setting script;

[0036] Save each setting result;

[0037] Verify and judge each setting result.

[0038] Xshell is a powerful security terminal simulation software, it supports SSH1, SSH2, and TELNET protocol of Microsoft Windows platform. Xshell's secure connection to remote hosts via the Internet and its innovative design and features help users enjoy their work in complex network environments. Xshell can be used in the Windows interface to access remote servers under different systems, so...

Embodiment 3

[0040] On the basis of Embodiment 1, the cabinet described in this embodiment has several nodes built in, and the remote management main board RMC is connected to the node backplanes of several nodes through the node midplane, and the RMC can indirectly communicate with the node BMC through this connection mode.

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for setting server BMC IP of a whole cabinet in bulk on the basis of an Xshell script. The method comprises the following steps: indirectly transmitting signals by a single RMC management control module through a node middle plate; positioning to each BMC of the whole cabinet to ensure that the BMC executes a setting command to the BMC IP; and finally issuing the setting commands in bulk through the Xshell script of the server. According to the method, the Xshell one-time compiled script is applied to all the reigning nodes; the operation steps are simple and convenient and the script does not need to be repeatedly compiled and modified; the node environment configuration time of the whole cabinet in the test process is greatly shortened, so that great convenience is provided for the test engineers; the test time is saved and the test time investment is decreased; and the method can be used by most of the computer rooms which are required to be equipped with fixed IP, so that the method is easy to popularize.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of server BMC, in particular to an Xshell script-based BMCIP batch setting method for whole cabinet servers, a highly practical method for batch setting BMCIP for high-density cabinet nodes. Background technique [0002] With the development of data center construction in the direction of overall availability, the demand for high-density cabinets in computer rooms is increasing. Because high-density cabinets have the characteristics of many nodes, large volume, and strong correlation, the previous management mode of single-node servers is no longer applicable to the present. Especially for the management of the Baseboard Management Controller (BMC for short), the previous method of updating one by one for a single server is no longer realistic. [0003] For a computer room isolated from the external network environment, to realize BMC management, the first thing to do is to give BMC a fixed IP. The firmware...
