Server asset management method and apparatus

Abstract

The invention discloses a server asset management method and apparatus. The method comprises the following steps: enabling a management interface to be accessed to an out-of-band management internet; an asset management system transmitting an instruction of obtaining server asset information to the management interface; the management interface obtaining current physical configuration information of a server and feeding the information back to the asset management system; disconnecting the asset management system from the server; the asset management system processing the physical configuration information into standard data for storing into a database, comparing the physical configuration information with an original form, in case of information mismatch, generating an alarm and sending the physical configuration information to an administrator of an IT department, and the administrator transmitting the physical configuration information to server asset management personnel for information synchronization; and returning after waiting for set time. By use of the server asset management method and apparatus provided by the invention, the method and apparatus have the following advantages: configuration information of the server can be automatically obtained, errors are reduced, and the configuration information is updated and recorded more timely.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of server asset management, in particular to a server asset management method and device. Background technique [0002] All the assets of the server are plugged into the server. When the IT department needs to check the assets, it needs to disassemble the case and open the case to see how many CPUs and memory sticks are inserted into the server. Usually a server can be divided into two layers, the bottom layer is the physical layer (physical components, such as motherboard, CPU, hard disk, etc.), and the upper layer is the logical layer (ie operating system, such as Windows, Linux). What you see on the operating system is the logical layer, such as the C drive and E drive, whether there is any disk space in the system, etc., but it is impossible to see how many hard drives there are on the server. If you want to see the physical layer, you need to disassemble the machine to see if there is a CPU installed, how many a...
